If a route is pink point climbed, how i register it?

We dont´t have de Pink Point style mode in the database (pre-clipped carabiners in bolts). How can i register that kind of climbed routes? Is it correct to do it as Red Point? Thanks.

if someone shows up to an area like cave rock, which has permanent chain draws, and they send a route (1st try) that they've never seen before, where would that fall in the definitions between onsight and pink point? I'd leave the idea of a pink point in the realm of natural pro. After all, on a sport climb a bolt is already up there, why not a draw?
I referr to the next definitions, founded in most places, like: www.rock-climbing-guide.com/rock-climbing-terms.html ON SIGHT "The most clear expression of free climbing is the on the first time ascending of a route or pitch which is called on sight. That is the complete free climb on the first attempt, without preview or systematic falls and without information or previous attempts on the route. FLASH The ascend of a route or pitch of which we have previously gathered information (e.g. some special moves or a hidden hold) is called beta flash. RED POINT The ascend of a route or pitch after some attempts or groundwork on the route is called red point. PINK POINT Finally the ascend of a route or pitch after some attempts or groundwork on the route and withthe quickdraws placed on the safety points is called pink point." So my question another time: Is valid (in www.8a.nu) to register a Pink Point style with the Red Point mode?
Well I am not a world authority, but as I recall, the original definition of Redpointing required that you place all the draws (except perhaps the first) on lead at some stage during the working of the route, to prove you can do it. Once you've proved this, on subsequent attempts, the draws may be left in situ. Pinkpointing implies that someone else placed the draws. Over the years the lines have become blurred and the term pinkpoint has dropped out of common usage. Does it really matter who placed the draws? Stripping the route for each fresh attempt just wastes time and on super steep routes cleaning is a real pain. So I guess people cant be bothered with being so technical (see previous post on: 'Onsight?') My suggestion is register it as a redpoint and if you want to be really strict with yourself write 'pinkpoint' in the comments field?
