Repeal Anonymous Voting

Anonymous voting allows cowards to abuse the voting system. People downvote like sneaky little bastards. If you are voting for a person, group or release and you feel that your particular vote is how you honestly feel then there is no reason to conceal your vote. Repealing anonymous voting would weed out a large portion of the downvoters.

I am not speaking about Vandalism News but the rules in general.

Transparency or a novice explanation: ball growing (excuse the pun, female members).

Just close the thread and add a FAQ about voting; pointing to the countless threads covering this same bullshit every year.

Anonymous voting. Please don't go off-topic too much.

Remove the anonymous function. Quite simple. If there is overwhelming feedback to put it back, then likewise.

what about making a website that publishes all vandalism votesheets, including who sent them? if no one looks at it, just delete it again. quite simple.

I don't mind doing that at all. But I haven't had anyone request it until now. If I receive further feedback of the same nature I will put it online (unlike some individuals I am willing to implement new ideas or change existing ones, e.g. an expanded "Credit" section in Vandalism that was suggested to me by an avid reader).

Regarding ANONYMOUS VOTING on CSDb. It has been suggested on numerous occasions by many people that it would nice to remove the anonymous feature.

Technically impossible? Trial it!

keep the anonymous voting... there is a reason for it, and there also are reasons to have anonymous voting @ compos. simple as that ;-)

ok, if you want to kill the scene with a big explosion, then make them visible.

when i was voting visible, i had to deal with someone at breakpoint 2007 who didnt like that i voted a honest 5 on his latest tune. he was not amused, and so was i about having endless conversations about how i vote.
so i will always keep my votes hidden - no matter if ppl like it or not. and thats not because i want to downvote anyone.

and i dont see that most ppl @ csdb want to have the anonymous voting killed. just have a look - and find out, that most votes are anonymous. there must be a reason for that... yes... ppl prefer it that way, otherwise they wouldnt vote hidden.

so...

whatever. this was the last time i give my 2cents about this for some time - because theres too many threads about this...

It would be nice to have alternative rank based on popularity..

You would just count all votes together and order the results from the highest sum of points to the lowest. ;-)

The trial was for the anonymous vote on CSDb.

Yazoo: thanks for the comments. I can appreciate the option positively when used appropriately. It would be nice if there was some option to appease both sides of the argument. Having a trial to see how it went would be nice I think, my constructive view anyway...
