Transparent votes?
There's been a lot of "discussion" in the one-liner box about whether voting should be transparent, i.e. you can see who voted (and their vote's value).
I feel that things should stay as they are, just the number of votes and "weighted" vote shown for each entry. That would save all the arguments "why did you vote low for me?" or "he/she is a lamer, they voted low for me/my release"
What do others think? |

Posted my shit in the same time as Slator. Good to see we more or less think the same way :)
Ok, I got some beers and I'm pretty drunk. So you better ignore me, now! |

Quote: Here are the previous discussions on the matter:
Downvoting
Transparant voting & editing
At least add the *option* to make *your own* votes transparent, as suggested by Steppe in one of the topics:
"I suggest that people who want to make their votes visible to others should be given the possibility, some checkbox you can switch on and off in the user preferences. Would that be hard to implement?"
And/or implement The Dark Judge's suggestion:
"You could also combine that with lack of power-voting. E.g.: if you don't want your votes to be known, you also only have the right to give rates from 3-8 or something."
I like both of these thoughts... the tradeoff of either being transparent, or losing the power-vote. Combining them would probably be very good.
I am also in complete agreeance with Jailbird's statement that we should not be allowed to vote for our own nicks (and/or groups). Frankly, I'm not entirely sure why you CAN vote for yourself; most everyplace else that contains voting generally tells you NOT to.
Completely fair and balanced voting, though, is still a dream. You've got a better chance of spotting a live unicorn in Times Square... and if someone really, really wants to downvote you, it's not going to stop them from making accounts and voting three a bunch of times until the rating drops, or even just saying "fuck it" and voting one, transparently. It is a step in the right direction, though.

"People who don't like transparent voting, their votes will range from 3 to 8"
"Votes bellow 3 or above 8, will automatically be transparent"
The ideas are very nice and I definitelly prefer the 2nd
But if the majority has voted for transparent votes in that poll but nothing has changed, then something is not moving on. Where is the webmaster? (Perhaps he doesn't like transparent votes :) |

Optimus: I don't get it, what are you trying to tell me? My last posting referred to Mermaid summing up some proposals of how one could handle the transparent votings in a fair way. |

It was just a joke, I was referring to these :)
Merman: Transparent fade now!
Fade:
Steppe: Fade, you obviously got confused here: It's not about tranparent POSTINGS, it's about transparent VOTING. Doh! ;-) |

Now something happens.
I added an option to the user-accounts so that every user can choose weither their votes should be displayed publicly or not. ( http://noname.c64.org/csdb/userpage/details.php )
If you choose to make your CSDb votes public they will show up on the vote-statistic pages. (I did that already :) )
If you do nothing your votes will still be anonymous.
Hope this is a step in the right direction...
