compos and voting on csdb
Am I the only one finding it hard to vote in compos on here? Often one do vote for the entries that are the best in the compo. like 1-10 IN THAT COMPO against entries IN THAT COMPO. It is a compo vote and not a general vote on the whole history of the c64 in a way. Could one create a compo vote thing for compos? That would be so cool in my mind. Just a thought. |

@PAL: Good point, exactly what i was yelling about last year, or was it 2 years ago? ..probably 3 then :P.
But the answer has already been said.. This is not a compo platform, only mis-used as such. That said, i can only proclaim my own solution: Stop voting!! I removed all my votes and my life has been better ever since. ..and as a plus, you can still go voting for any SID-compo or char-logo-compo here and make your voice heard, and remove your votes afterwards :). |

Also, compo is, when it is shown on a big screen and with Holger (beer) in your mouth :-D |

It sounds like you would prefer ranked choice voting over range voting used on csdb.
I prefer range voting. That way I don't have to rank the entries and only need to score them individually without comparing entries and preferring one over the other. So the current system is good for me :) |

We are currently transforming several places of CSDb and are working at several places to get entries into more shape. Even though other mods and trusted users may not agree completely they will surely admit that we have more pressing issues at hand than the voting system.
It has been said many time before and I completely support that opinion of a minor radical amount of users (as it seems): delete all votes, disable the voting system completely - focus on the existing entries and make this a database!
Keeping the votes can only be a rough indicator for people only occassionally looking at c64 software - in it's current form CSDb is not a voting platform.
BESIDES all that - some categories have such a ridiculous vote count - DELETE ALL or ALL OF YOU should vote a whole lot more!
PS: I really liked CreaMD's image voting "platform" a while ago (for the rambo compo) - likely easier to "include" compo based voting on a somewhat attached 3rd party platform rather than stress Perff with additional requests ? At least for the moment :) |

Thanx CountZero. I had fun making voting systems for c64 music compos and rambo revisited gfx compo, unfortunately I was never able to make it (the administration) userfriendly. It was spontaneous development. Some of the tasks had to be done manually, and also it was re-tweaked randomly for every new compo I organized. There is no solid existing solution on my side. |

Why are you so nerds that you can not even see my point? If there are compos one would hold, maybe CSDB would be a great platform for that was my only point! CSDB is the site where everything new is on? I can not understand that you do not see my point? I understand that CSDB is not all about that or this, what I am stating is only that it would be fun to have such a feature. nothing more, not attacking not blaming, not being negative, not being bad... just a simple feature request. my god how detailed and how personal it always get. |

HCL: God damn you are right... it must be like that then. That is the most logical solution really because a compo vote is not a general scene history vote. Thanx for your splendid insight in this. How do I remove all my votes? Is there a easy way to do that?
Your answer is actually the onlyone I really agree with in a way. It will be much more easy for me that way too... please tell me if there is a way to remove all my votes easy! HCL ftw! Simple, less cycles and splendid thought! |
