Compo voting
I'm pretty sure this has been asked before, but I'm just curious, and don't mean to open dead horse.
Maybe viewing of voting during a compo should be turned off.
The reason being, is (ofcourse) the downvoting crap, that has been going on for years.
If CSDB doesn't want to fix it, then just turn it off (viewing) during a compo, and have it where folks can only vote.
Once the compo is over, then it can be turned back on, and everybody is happy :)
Just my 2cents

Quote: The main problem is that organizing compos directly on CSDb isn't really the real way to do it as this is not the right platform to do it. It's tolerated, but really should be done elsewhere, and only post the productions here after the compo is done, exactly as it's done for parties.
What you ask could stop everyone to vote on all other productions that are out of said compos.
Yea, that is so true. Never really looked at this way, due to
it just seemed the thing to do on here LOL!!!
Well, then disable voting all together :-P
jk.
Thanks dude!

One way to do it is to just disable viewing any vote. Why even have the function to view people's votes. |

Or people could get their shit together and just vote fairly. FFS, what's wrong with everyone? How can it be so difficult? Pfffftt... |

What Zyron said. I, for one, find the "live voting" aspect in the PETSCII compo really exciting, I'm checking every day who's leading etc. Of course this requires some discipline on behalf of the voters. But I couldn't spot any outrageous examples of unjustified downvoting in the compo yet - the votes seem to be quite reasonable. |

Get glasses, there's name voting (scener X, gotta love it, scener Y, hate everything about him), dirty old men humour voting (a wiener! -> 10! a vagaga ->11!) all over the place, not that I care. I think it's just impossible to vote for everything, so CSDb votes with their nuclear mathematics "averages" ain't the right way, anyway.

I wonder how fragile an ego people must have, who try to win a compo by downvoting other participants, because that is actually my suspicion regarding the systematic behind the occurrences. Also i suspect, there is kind of a snowball effect, as soon as someone is being affected, there surely are revenge measures, out of the blue. Why is there even a feature to vote anonymously? (That being said, i must admit to not being completely innocent here, but defense is a human right, and revenge a nasty habit, i guess.) |

most people don't vote period. So what your cool prod got one low vote when lack of votes is the bigger issue. Guess we could just count the number of votes, as that's the biggest indicator of a production being interesting to someone |

CSDb has currently 1764 active accounts, if i interpret the number correctly. Releases get a (very) few percent of them as voting.
My 5 cent:
Most of the people are fair voters usually.
If someone can't live with this vote system, discuss a better solution with the Admins of CSDb or do not provide any productions anymore. |
