RadioBrowser may need more developers to survive

The website has been vandalized in the past so editing has been suspended, until new solutions have been implemented. However, dead stations are removed automatically with a script and that makes the radio station database smaller for each day.

• Creating an account system, ip bans, and monitoring for abuse activity is not trivial.
• You probably want to create a playlist history for each item like Wikipedia so they could roll back changes.

That is a lot of work and it is perhaps what is required to make radio-browser survive. I think you should consider to advertise to recruit more developers to the project.

Are there any tools for moderators? It will be easier to get a team of moderators to keep the db clean.

radio-browser.info should have genre specific moderators, like Reddit has specific moderator (example: https://www.reddit.com/r/batteries/about/moderators/). I can moderate the psytrance genre since I originally expanded it from just a few to 40 entries.
