Ignore User?
How about a way to edit toxic people out of the experience? Ignore their comments, votes, forum posts, one-liners, and block them from sending PM? |

That's what I was looking for, thanks - if it also edited their downvotes out of the experience as well, it'd be perfect. |

That would be a way to identify anonymous voters. I'm not saying that in order to take a stance in how things should work on CSDB — just pointing it out. |

There's actually already a way to do that. You just need to have some idea who it is and you can confirm it using nothing but CSDB's own features. (Not that I would need it to know who my own down-voter is, they've made a pathetic public spectacle of themselves enough times to remove any doubt.)
What I'd suggest is letting the user set a default for whether all or only public votes are part of their experience. Knowing that the person they hope to bother won't see the fruits of their labor would probably discourage most of the trolls. |

Actually I like that suggestion! Should be rather easy to implement as well, I would guess |

That's now how voting works. Not even on a state level. ;) My suggestion is to remove votes completely from csdb and just keep on archiving. Seems people just care too much about votes. Who cares. Do what you like to do, and care only about comments (which you can ignore). |

Votes matter because they produce lists of suggestions for visitors. Removing them wouldn't be beneficial, unless we added some different metrics for charts, for example number of downloads, or replaced voting by likes ;-). |

And the way they work now just seems to encourage the grossest people in the community to use the voting system as a way to harass people they don't like. |

make all voting anonymous or just get rid of it entirely, as hedning suggested. I doubt much will ever happen. I don't think I'd like to see voting removed, it can be useful to gauge how a given release is doing. I would like to see all voting made anonymous, but I feel like we're getting into old territory playing the same ol' record on repeat. |
