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.

my solution for the TOP ranking is: list/allow only entries with over 100 votes...

i'd make it so no result is shown ever, unless 100 votes. that pretty much solves every problem discussed here. at least for the 3 entries that would get enough votes =)

Quoting Jailbird
As long as some of the more influental CSDb admins are against anonymous voting, nothing at all will change considering this topic.
The more influential "admins" of East Germany were against tearing down the Berlin Wall too, but that still happened in the end due to public pressure. So things can change, even though the powers that be might be against it.

I doubt the admins here will improve The votingsystem, they just do Not care enough it seems. It could be so easy to make a more fair System. .

fair means: it equally sucks for everyone. we are quite there =)

and as much as some people would like it, the one and only one who could change this is perff. the moderators (again: not admins) cant not ever do anything about it at all. (and they are not supposed to do it either)

but you are correct, most of them dont give a shit. maybe if every other issue of this website has been solved, then i might bother thinking about how to convince perff to "better" the voting crap =P

Lot's of complaints... I would like to that Perff and the moderators for maintaining this site (which is quite essential for the C64 scene to survive at all) on their spare time. Thank you for that!

Then I agree that there are probably betters ways to handle a voting system with few participants than the current, but I have to agree with Groepaz: There are other things that might need attention first and given the very little "free" time adults have nowadays it's a serious matter of prioritizing your time, and honesty I agree that the voting system has to come low. The recent fixes for forum-width using the CSS-wrap stuff and the csdb.dk redirection was much more needed fixes.

Ahh in order to change things would require representatives that are heard lets say a "blue party"..
that pushes fwd others thoughts and having discussion with the members of the e.g. csdb board ;) or other scene related sites or issues regarding the interest of the scene.

like scene politics ;) hehehe if everyone are so involved it is to every one to contribute... like voting 8)=)

Scene Politics... ;)

in order to change things, there should be more ppl than Perff alone with access to the source code.
It's awesome he makes time for important bugfixes as it is, but I totally understand making bigger changes to the system is too much.

So, I'd help no problem!
