Repeal Anonymous Voting
Anonymous voting allows cowards to abuse the voting system. People downvote like sneaky little bastards. If you are voting for a person, group or release and you feel that your particular vote is how you honestly feel then there is no reason to conceal your vote. Repealing anonymous voting would weed out a large portion of the downvoters. |

Quote: I sense the problem (if you can really call it a problem), is that some people are not voting what they really think of the product before first looking at the average (or what other people have voted) and then trying to down-/upvote it making the average fit more into their taste..
I had this thought too (and even though I'm trying, I can't say I am completely away from it when voting myself); for this I would have a suggestion: like with many online polls, how about showing the voting result only _after_ you have voted yourself? So at least you would be forced to really vote on the product, and not on what other people voted on it before. (It would also include not being able to change your vote afterwards, so you have to put thought into it, as it is final). |

Quoting Groepazthat however is the fault of those who think csdb is a suitable platform to organize voting for a compo. (interestingly, voting at most other compos is anonymous too... strange eh) So that means CSDB is a perfectly suitable platform for compos, doesn't it? :) |

Regarding your last comment and your way earlier comments comparing CSDb-specific voting to other voting-platforms:
One of the main differences is that the outcome of the voting is kept secret until the voting is finished. Tactical voting and downvoting is limited to wild speculations. Furthermore, a normal compo finishes at a date and after the deadline no more votes are accepted. So much for strangeness.
Oh yes - none of the above applies to CSDb voting. |

"Downvoting...
Guys, is there any chance to get information on some asshole who downvoted me just by 1? I don't give a sh#$ really but i think it's a little bit unfair."
and this gentlemen, is why. (also the one who wrote that should feel bitchslapped and go stand in the corner. no dinner for you today) |

yep...
anonymous voting is fine... downvoting, namevoting, upvoting is not nice, but part of the szene.
non-anonymous voting would mean that the csdb explodes because ppl start hating eachother.
sure, i am also pissed when someone downvotes me for a couple minutes, but i got to live with that.
it has been part of the szene as long as it exists.
and why does nobody complain about anonymous compo-voting at parties?
its exactly the same for me
if you want better voting-results at csdb... well, then vote more and tell other ppl to vote more.
because with a big amount of votes, it doesnt matter much if there is two or three downvotes.
simple as that
ok. now i am waiting for the topic to come back next year |

My opinion on anon/troll voting: *YAWN* I don't care. There's more important things in life to worry about than this silly nonsense. |

Quoting Yazooand why does nobody complain about anonymous compo-voting at parties? Everyone knows that partycompos always have been unfair, especially the ones that end at 6 in the morning and only a few drunk bastards vote. No reason to strive for making CSDB results equally unfair. |

so you acknowledge that party organizers have a hard time making a few hundred people vote properly for a handful productions at a party - but you expect it to work when less people vote for thousends of productions on the internet?
i need a big spliff now |

cruzer: so oxyron won unfair? :)
well - you may be right - but dont blame it on the voting-system... blame it on ppl not voting.
so those who were still awake had the right to decide the compo.
i know it was hard to stay awake that late. but some did... most didnt
did you vote btw? |
