Default Re: Erroneous entries in the mileage database

Addressing your points, Stuart:

1. In the past, I had always moderated the database, but after data was already published. There was never a significant issue with fake data because I never gave it time to accumulate.

2. This would be an excellent auto-moderation idea, however that should be put on the back burner until the current data are dealt with.

3. Most people here seem to overlook that the database's overall figures are provided as medians, not means. This means that most data is already "thrown out" immediately; only the very central car of each model is displayed on the graph (which, of course, is misaligned presently).
