What's downvoting...
Quoting Shine
"LOVE TO THE NEGATIVE DOWNVOTERS..."
Means what exactly?
Just curious, what is a downvote in your opinion, Knight Rider?
removed from Comments on
Excess ICC2021 4KB Intro
Feel free to lead (yet another) philosophical debate on the definition of downvoting here, but pretty please not in entry comments ffs
and behave...
*opens his umbrella for weather forecast tells me to expect shitstorm and heavy vote whining tears rains*
An example from some drama last summer: Voting a 2 on something with zero downloads (which means someone votes it lower than 10 without even downloading the file), now THAT's definetely downvoting in my book
PS: @the current release overly hard 5s are outweiged by overenthusiastic 10s pretty well currently imho |

Quote:aggressively release shit (shit imho) to force me into voting 8 and lower That weirdly non-linear scale with a strong bias to shit (in [1..10], "good" starts at... 9?) everybody keeps using may be part of the problem. =)
This is also a big thing when voting in ongoing compos.
Ideally one would sort the entries, give the best one a "10" and go down from there.
Hard to differentiate with just 2 slots before perceived downvoting occurs. |

Quoting TheRykwhich might arise the question why vote at all if everything is 9.5-9.9. Sh.. stays sh.., however, no matter the figures.
But aside from a few – most of the time even "shitty on purpose" – releases you don't see many shit releases nowadays. Even the "newbies" start at a very high level – just because of good documentation, awesome tools etc. See Chris Wemyss for example.
But BTT, my "definition" of downvoting:
Adjusting your vote until the outcome of the CSDb algorithm produces an average that is at least .1 lower than before.
As pointed out million times: if enough people vote, "downvoting" is not possible anymore. |

I love how after 20+ Years, threads like this are a thing.
The deleted comment is more valid than ever. |

Is vote score?
a) A school grade as a measure of skill? 1 bad, 10 great.
b) An opinion grade?. 1 dislike a lot. 5 indifferent. 10 like a lot.
c) A positive scale of liking? 1 likes just a bit, 10 likes very much, no negatives.
d) Just a scalar, so that CSDB is to be able to generate top lists and the ranking oriented can draw conclusions.
e) A statement: Hi creator of this product, I think of you, will you think of me too, please? |
