I've recently been discussing the archivation with my fellows and we came up with some idea on checking the archived POIs. For now you seem to add new archived ones nearly every day and it's hard to keep track of new POIs. So, the thing is, after the whole project will be finished and we will get a complete archive, we gather 5-10 seasoned explorers and divide archive between each other to check. I hope to get about 100-200 POIs for check on each of them, so everyone will be able to thoroughly look through POIs and make conclusion whether it's worth saving on the map or not.
What I mean by seasoned explorer? Well, hard to say: we dont really need super mlg pro explorers with hundred of submitted pois 50k systems discovered and 3 000 000 ly traveled (and I dont think we will be able to find many of such people) but we also dont need those who just traveled the route sol-col-sag-bp and back and consider themselves as explorers. We just need common people who explored uncharted sectors, visited reasonable number of POIs, saw decent amount of things, and, preferably, did some job for GMP.
Which POIs are definitely gonna be sent to archive:
1) Binaries and triads of planets like aw, ww, elw, (except maybe records and some special cases).
2) Deleted and "fixed" objects like pink gg.
3) Lone and "beacon" stars.
4) Green systems sololy.
5) Usual geysers and bio sites (except records and only habitats in the galaxy).
6) Minor historical POIs like landing sites of expeditions.
7) POIs without photos (except historical and very special cases).
8) Regional POIs that do not provide any information or list of the systems in the region (except real and clear seen clusters).
Some minor ideas:
1) If in the end we will have only POI list from the map (no filtration by type and search) I recommend to divide POIs by alphabet, like: the first man checks everything from A to D, the second from E to I, etc.
2) To ease the task a bit I suggest dividing all "worth saving" into 3 categories: objective, subjective, unsure. Objective - a person has some reasons and arguments why this should be left on the map. Subjective - a person is not sure about data records and numbers but just feels that this should be left on the map because of scenery and beauty.
Unsure - those which do not fall into both categories, these will be discussed by everybody together in the end.
All in all, the final decision is still made by you, so I dont think that you will be against cooperation of pilots and creation of a separated thread for this "sort-out". If somebody wills to take part, Im going to make the thread and post link here as soon as we get the completed archive. Though I think it will definitely happen not in the nearest 2 weeks at least, because GMP has hundreds of POIs and staff will need some time to sort out all of this. Like this post if you support the idea.
Picture is just for design
