Quote:So there are 700 active C64 sceners right now? Those who contribute to the last few years' scene activity and whose works are actually judged and affected by the votes?
wat? before you babble about "majority" next time, please define accurately what you mean, and tell a number. how many are your so called "majority" then?
Quote:Sceners use it as their main communication platform, not just for gathering and distributing raw data.
wait wat? sceners use csdb for communication more than irc or facebook? lol. what was the word again... delusional? last time i checked the forum was almost dead. any other half scene related forum i have visited in the past months is much much MUCH more active. and the most active part of the forum here is the part that is about the db.
Quote:CSDb is the place where I'd like to show my works to people who think alike and share my passion towards the C64.
i'll remind you next time you are raging about not being able to delete your account =P

some people are easily butthurt, yes. they must take the opinion of that individual as highly important to them. |

Dude, just look at the credits of the main releases in the last few years and compare it to the authors of the comments supporting public votes on the forums. Believe it or not, you'll find a huge common set.

There is a more active all-round communication platform where a bigger diversity of C64 sceners are gathered in such masses as on CSDb?? Which one? IRC or Facebook, really? I won't even comment on IRC, but I'd like some examples from Facebook, maybe I'll really move my activity there.

The forum might be stalling, but that doesn't mean that it's dead or will stay this way. And it was lively once. Anyhow, none of that changes the fact at all that the site is much more than a raw database.

People have ups and downs, you know. In case I'll have a temper tantrum again, just go for it. Thanks in advance!

Didn't even cared or knew who he was till one of the admins shared the info with me without me specifically asking for it.
And whilst we're at it, and you imply my negative personal attachments to this topic, since then (more than 10 years has passed) I don't even have anonymous downvotes, at least the last time I've checked there weren't any. None at all. So I can't really be butthurt at people who don't even exists.
Still I think that the system is flawed and unfair this way, and it makes me aggravated when I see people's morale dropping and annoyed sceners all around because of it. |

so can you tell how big your so called "majority" is or are you making it up? only the opinions of those handful people who made the main releases of the last few years count eh? i dont think so. (and no, if you make such claims its your job to count and provide the numbers. and i encourage you to do it, i will accept *facts*, promised.) |

Quote:Twitter is looking at a few things, including limitations on how many characters or words a user would be allowed to insert or delete. According to sources, Twitter is also developing an editorial algorithm that, if it works correctly, would be able to detect whether or not a user is attempting to change the overall intention of the tweet instead of fixing a minor mistake or retracting an erroneous report.
they are doing that out of sheer evil, i guess |

Well, since they are the ones who are actually affected by the votes, I'd say it's more than fair that they word should count a tad more than those who couldn't care less.
But how about those who actively participated in the work of CSDb during it's existence, one way or another (not just producing new stuff, but also active submitters, commenters, voters, etc)?
Out of the blue, here's a list of those who mentioned anonymous votes with negative connotation just here on CSDb. I could easily double this number by including those too who I communicated with personally but didn't participated in the discussions.
Interestingly, on more than 15+ threads dealing with downvoting, only about half a dozen people was fine with the current system, or felt like unaffected.
Even Perff seems indecisive.

Eagerly awating a list of the majority who are beside the current voting system. |

Why are you at #1 in that list? Can I downvote you? |

I hate the voting system, if only because it's an ongoing source of improductive discussions.
A '+1' or 'like' button would suffice, rating with numbers is not from this era. |

how about you define who belongs to the group this majority refers to first? precisely that is. without that whatever you come up with is completely useless, being a random list of names chosen without criteria.
so far 88 out of 1545 users on that list. |

There is a criteria: that's a list of people who oppose(d) anonymous voting.
And how many of those 1545 users actively participate in the work of CSDb or put out releases? |
