Votes

Why do some of you hide your votes? HMM? this makes no sense. And stop downvoting people just because you do not like them.

This database is supposed to be accurate, not a place for you to continue with your stupid grudges and scene wars.

a note to perff: since Secret Man, WDR etc have been deleted from this, I think you should also remove all their votes.

and get rid of this hidden voting, if people cannot publicy stand by their vote choices, then they shouldn't be voting at all.

I have downvoted quite a lot demos when some1 kicked out soiled from the top 10. :) I will fucking not care and others shouldnt fucking not care either about the votesystem as long anonymous downvotes are possible this is anything but something you can trust.

Maybe it would be more fair if there was a possibility to "complain" to the system about unfair votes. Then people with a lot of complaints could get bad karma, and count less in the weighted average.

This could actually be done without making the votes public, although I still think they should be public, because you are more reluctant to cheat when everyone can see what you're doing.

@ Cruzer: come on, this is a scene database, not the municipality office!
I don't want to complain about others in whatever formal or karma way. Voting is useless too, because it's not possible to make a fair system within the scope of this website.

For me it's something the kids play with.
Now, let's code, pixel & compose and stop babbling about these inferior stuff.

I wonder what would you say if Perff finally made the votes public. Which is the easiest way how to increase the credibility of the ranking here.


i wonder when he will finally make a public list of the people who have admin powers so he could get back the last bit of credibility he lost in the macgyver incident.

Why do you want to remove the possibility to change a vote after voting? After all, people can and will change their opinion over time.


one of the most important general rules when doing a poll is to not show any numbers to a participant before he voted, since that always influences the result. if you want to reflect peoples change of opinion you need to make another poll, another time.

and yes i know its not practical in the context of this website, yet another reason why the voting stuff is totally flawed =)

Yep, I stand by my votes.

If I vote you a one, that's because I honestly think you suck.
And I want you to KNOW that it I think you suck.

If I vote you a 10, I want you to know also. Hidden votes is crap... they mean crap. It's like cheated votesheets in mags, worthless!

Yes, it makes NO sense.

Downvoters should get arrested.

This has been discussed one thousend times before, and most of the time only the public side shows.

I am pro hidden votes.

I dont want to get PMs like "Why did you downvote me? All other gimme a 10 and you only give me a 7!!!"

If the public voting gets implemented, i will stop voting.
And I am sure I am not the only one.

Have Fun,
Zed

This is the idea behind public voting. It hopefully will keep away people that only make hoaxes.

I would'nt care about that if I was maintainer of this site. ;-) One of Perff's argument for hidden votes was fact that he was afraid of having too few votes. I wonder what you pro-hidding voters would you do if there was public voting from the beginning. I don't think you wouldn't vote here or there. Maybe you would be afraid to give too much negative voting, but tehre are cases of people who are not afraid to show their opinion publicly.

Actually it would be quite useful if it was possible to enable/disable voting for certain releases. Or hide the "user ratings" & "votestatistics".
