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? |

Quote: That doesn't make much logical sense. You have never said to someone what you thought of a release before without making it more public? It's not much dffierent to diskmag charts. Most people don't know who voted for what. Typically only the reply spread line does (return path to editor). Why don't you run a crusade to have all diskmag charts transparent?
It's the internet so don't be so interested in opinions. IT seems a little childish to be so interested in who is voting for what otherwise don't let my stuff be rated. Maybe you can more indepth detail about what is so bad that you don't want your stuff to be rated?
1. there's a huge difference between the static diskmag charts and the charts here, which can be influenced right away by downvoting.
2. I can decide for myself if I want to be interested in opinions, thank you very much.
3. I'm not going to explain *again* why I want to be as sure as possible that the votes given are real, and not the result of somebody not liking a certain production/scener to be so high/low in the charts, just read my previous posts.
My girlfriend always says: "either something should be done just right, or it shouldn't be done at all". That's how I feel about this as well. So either make sure the charts are as correct as possible, or remove them. And if the charts will not be removed, at least give me and others the possibility to have ourselves and our products removed from them. That's all.
Oh, and it's quite childish to call a differing opinion childish. I have been very vocal in this discussion, if you just don't want to understand me, that's cool, but please tell me, otherwise it really will be a waste of my time.
You know, if you all just would have given in, I could have spend all that time on finishing my new demo for Floppy, now I'm too late :) |

I have to, she always takes a test later to see if I paid attention. If I fail, she revokes my c64 rights ;(
Ofcourse, when she says it ("do it right or don't do it at all") it usually has got something to do with clothes and/or make-up other girls are wearing.
Don't tell her I said that. |

I'm trying to understand you. Maybe you better explain it a bit more differently.
A diskmag chart may be static for a particular issue but next issue will see a change.
What is wrong with the option of seeing only transparent votes or all votes? Then you can only se the votes you are interested in. I consider it a worthy compromise. |

Sorry man, but I'm done playing this game. It tires me. I just hope Perff doesn't ignore the results of the poll instead of just changing his decision, again.

Stryyker and Iopop are right. For what we have votes in csdb ? IT's a useless thing. This is not a diskmag. |

Help! How can one un-ignore postings from somebody? Seems I accidentially ignored Dalezy's postings, but that was for sure not my intention... :-(
Perff, can you remove Dalezy from my ignore list again, please? |

How did you quote something that was posted by a person you had ignored? I thought that posts written by an ignored person weren't visible. :-O |
