Upcoming XLD Log Checksum Changes

The following changes to our XLD log checker will be enacted on November 5th. Note this only affects Mac users who use XLD, Windows EAC users should not be concerned.

Log Checksum must be enabled via the XLD Log Checker plugin. XLD rips made without the log checksum enabled will have 1 point deducted from their log score. Having the Log Checksum enabled provides another method to verify the Log as being authentic. While a log checksum is not certifiable proof that a log has not been edited, a checksum which "fails" does confirm that an edit of some sort has been made, so utilizing this tool is beneficial.

To be clear: any torrents with XLD logs uploaded prior to November 5th will be scored under the existing no-checksum rules, and no currently uploaded perfect FLACs ripped with XLD will be downgraded to 99%.

Installing the Log Checksum Plugin:

For those who have not yet installed the XLD Log Checker plugin, we would like to recommend this guide. Anyone requiring additional help should send a PM to the FLS via the Staff Inbox or visit #what.cd-help on our IRC network.

Trumping Reminder:

Any deduction which does not affect audio data, such as a missing checksum, receives a 1 point deduction and a note in the deduction explanation stating that audio data was not affected. A rip which only has non-audio deductions is allowed to trump another rip with audio-affected deductions. As an example, a 99% XLD rip is still allowed to trump a 70% rip with a CRC mismatch. The only upload that can trump a rip with non-audio deductions is a perfect 100% FLAC rip.

Many thanks to the Delta Team, in particular 999999, for help testing and preparing documentation for this project.
