Group id #448 : Maniacs of Noise
"...Anonymous voting shouldn't be an option."
I do not think transparency is the thing as with a glazed box of intention, rather the ongoing discussion of actions, quality and so forth.
Again, back to real life. I am sure my leftist vote would pick the eyes of several inhabitants and neighbors around me
and so I am comfortable with making those elections anonymous. Now told in a broader public sense though.
As for down voting or making tactical voting, we in Sweden had our fair share of that just this past September.
May it be truthfully someone loving the country, wishing all the foreigners to go away?
Obviously not my standpoint.
I could only argue for its geographical location, the nature, some gloomy light on any autumn day.
As with that, I would be at least as comfortable in Scotland, Great Britain. As for the light in the summer,
that is so fantastic against the clay in Italy and other countries. Regardless any government or how it is constituted.
As for culture? I cannot tell one thing part from another really, the seams are invisible in a general sense.
We still behave in similar ways, certain activities and rituals are the same, may it be language and customs are locally different,
given the global view. Things are both general and specific; people tend to forget those scale differences though.
As with Maniacs of Noise, which it is really about, anyone understanding history and the importance of articulated quality,
which inspired us as young kids running around once, a 2/10 is sounding as a temporary misjudged vote leads to several conclusions in our short lifespan of this scene:
An artist trying ones very best at breaking borders, pretentious or seriously, disliking the past.
An artist trying ones very best at breaking borders, pretentious or seriously, regarding the past (my choice and obviously the continuation of things),
Neither?
During the last year, I could mention several other persons attacked in the same way, with the same ignorance of course,
but they are all too well obvious, made on the same vague choices, as one would vote in any election. History less,
without boundaries and with a preconceived idea that old is not important and that technical achievements are just viewed upon by the maker of things.
Naming them is not the way really, rather on the contrary to fuel engines out of proportion (as have been witnessed just this last week really).

Life's a bitch. But yes, giving MON a 2 is rather blasphemous and should be punished with at least a life ban for any future X parties. |

Ehrm, expecting to only get high votes, always, even though the autor and most of public regard the product/production as high quality doesn't really sound sane :) |

By the way.. another way of extending the way the vote system currently works would be to add the requirement to write a one-line comment together with the vote, and then show vote + comment publicly (even if the voter is anonymous). Then it would be more readily apparent if the voter votes the way he (or SHE?!!!) does because "Fuck! fuck! IT SUUUCKS" (i.e. a downvoter) or if the vote is a more reasonable kind of vote. Of course it wouldn't change the average vote score as such, but at least it would at least add some depth and semantics to the voting. ...and maybe, just maybe, people could start considering that little average score as the most important thing in life and focus a little more on the opinions as such.
Just a thought.. I don't even know if I like it myself or not, but I haven't seen that kind of suggestion before here, so I thought I should mention it at least. |

Hahaha. Love it. Look at the polish kid face expression when he says "I want". That kid was right. Maiden used synthesizers on their next album, Somewhere in Time.

even if you are a dark metal industrial techno acid synthpop classic operah fan, then you must not vote a 1 to mon, you always can, but maybe you don't have a clue of the c64 scene or better said the history.
just stay away or don't vote....
but maybe it was jch downvoting them? who knowns.... |

Thanks to this topic (and Joe for opening it), I just noticed I've not given my 10/10 to MON. Who gives a shit about a sad motherfucker/downvoter. MON rocks! |

Agreed. Slightly worse than the original, which I would rate a weak 2.
