downvoting
howdy sceners,
i dont know if this was discussed before, but i am worried about this topic for a while now.
downvoting seems to be a real pleasure for some beings. but it doesnt make sense at all and falsfied the statistics. i know, there`s no accounting about taste. but is there any reason, for e.g., voting that less for maniacs of noise? just have a closer look to their stats! 4 votes, yet, with only 1 and 2 given points are really a joke to me!! surely for others too. this applies also for alot of other pretty cool productions.
however, maybe this rubbish may be stopped by changing the vote rules!?
some things that crossed my mind...
voting less then 5 points shouldnt be possible with an hidden pseudonym. the "TOP" categories should be separated by the release of year. an all time favourite list for each category can co-exist for sure :-)
i personally think that it does not make sense comparing demos from 2008 with demos from 1998 oder 1988.
Voting less then 5 points should be stated with a comment. week-minded comments and/or votes should be deleted by the admins.
there are for sure many other things that could be changed for a fair ranking and voting system. maybe i am absolutely wrong or just getting old (or both).
however, just post your ideas and comments. i am really curious ...
peace and keep on rockin` |

your post indeed had alittle in common with the vote but not in the way youre thinking- a person using a flawed logic simply cant be a good coder. thanks for your input anyway Jon. |

Heh better put some wood on the fire...
Ofcourse its hard to make such voting. Depending which years you were scene active then you get your own favorites.
Guess it will never be solved... Burglar and me have a few ideas on how to arrange that on the c64heaven site.

It is just nuts that people are holding grudges for more than fifteen years. Downvoting someone for the sake of hostility is just low, not to mention immature, no infantile! If someone does a good job on something, they deserve a good vote. |

You know... You take the good with the bad, and with anything people will use it and abuse it. No matter which way you cut it voting will always be flawed. Unless you do something on the lines of MAJORITY rules, which even then that might be flawed.... But I trust that there are more serious people on here then "clowns".
If that was the case I wouldn't see this place going to much further. So "clowns" never grow up....
And I could have sworn it said I was #1 last year LOL!!!
So go figure! |

If csdb shouldnt become some communistic, censoring plattform votes of any kind should be accepted as valid. Democracy, right?
Only thing that can be done is weighing the votes using mathematics just like imdb does. |
