Votesystem FAIL
OK, so why the vote system still exists, especially after all the devastating things it produces, is absolutely way beyond me.
It's rarely a representation of an objective, summarized opinion of the community. Either it's a playground for immature ding-dong fights I've had the luck to experience the last time in kindergarten, or it's simply a place for good old fashioned circlejerks.
I second Scout. At least I second the notion that this isn't really a place where I'd like to spend my spare time.
The constant pop-ups of topics considering the defecting vote-system is clearly a sign of something not working here the way it should. And yet, the cry ups keep getting ignored. For years.
Captain obvious is here to present you two options. One is to finally fix it, the other is to remove it for good. The latter one would be probably the best for all of us. And I think I'm speaking in the name of 99% of CSDb users here when I say that. Time to realize we are not IMDb with hundreds of millions of users, where a similar voting model works (more or less). Here, it's flawed and it simply fails on many, many levels
Pretty pretty please. Dudes who make and administer this site. Your work is fucking damn appreciated. I'd suck of all of you without a single second of consideration.
But for fucks sake. |

Edit: okay read it. This is why Enthusi's idea would work the best here.
Once again:
Quoting enthusiEach CSDb-scener has alist of 5 (or 10) all-time-fav demos/gfx/crack/tools (or just releases).
Those are public :) [though that is not necessary for this system]
The Top 10 of each category is generated daily based on the overall number a release appears in one of those lists.
So if 100 people have DeuxExMachine in their top5 this is better than a demo that only 90 people consider their personal top5.
This will give weight to old releases as well and nothing will/can be downvoted...
I see no point in differing between VERY bad and VERY VERY bad like it is now...
We need a BESTOF and that's all...
Downvoting will then be equal to NOT having a demo in his/her own list ;-)
Yeah. I guess going back to how votes worked in ze good old days will make us all happy... :)
Did anybody check how imdb does it?

By the way Ed, excellent analysis. A perfect showdown on why the current votesystem is totally obscure and useless, and will never work as intended even in 20 years.

Let me guess. With thousands of users and perhaps millions of votes? |

If you really dont like a demo/release, make an anti-demo!
Edit: Oh, yeah and support the idea of TOP-lists per user.
That system could be initiated with a database wide SPAM message asking for (up to) 5 releases in the categories:
- demo
- tune
- tool
- crack
- gfx
I guess everyone has at least 3 of each in the back of his head... |
