Downvoting, for what reasons?

Seems I got two inverse mega fans. They gave me a set of 1 point votes.

I was a bit interested in finding out who that was, since I've never heard of them or seen any posts from either of them on CSDb.

The votes in question are registered to Auslaender and abracadabra, which is perfectly ok, if they think I suck...

At first I just clicked the abracadabra link and some pretty empty profile with a picture of a magician showed (refered to a guy call Mira, too!). I thought, hmm, strange.. Maybe someone who'd like to conceal himself or something... Didn't think much of it to be honest.

I wasn't untill another one showed. Auslaender!. Strange handle, but then again, we're strange people most of us.. I wonder who that is!.. No profile, when doing a profile search.. Though I'd search the forum for posts, and .. bang... All my indifferent discussions with Nata showed, only Nata showing as Auslaender!.. Sigh!.. Why?.. For what use?.. I don't get it.. He can vote me all the way to the bottom of the list for all I care, but I'm really disappointed.. I hope someone else hacked his profile or something, because that would mean that I didn't misjudge Nata in the past.

There are other formulas you can use besides a simple average - that take into account idiots by filtering etc. I think IMDB use something like that.

Filtering idiots?! That's no good idea. 50% of the scene, including me, wouldn't able to vote in that case!

CSDb uses such a system right now, and as a result the scores are completely fucked up, since not 50 or more people vote on every single release. Besides, I find it a bit rude to classify people as "idiots" if their only crime is having an honestly different opinion of a release than everybody else. I really think it's unfair to make votes that deviate from the mould not count.

Actually, it's always quite funny to see that after some dispute with sceners you will get another nice downvote in the profile. :)))))

Downvoting is a sign of impotence.
