Unfair charts voting results
Hi, allow me just to quote the best idea I've read so far about voting system:
Quoting enthusiAnd Im not growing tired of suggesting to just count all votes > 8 accumulative for gfx,music,code.
6 * vote 10 = 60 points
20 * vote 8 = 160 points
etc.
Maybe someone who is (even ;-) more into database stuff than me can play with CSDb votes and give this approach a try?
Last time I checked that manually I was pretty content with the overall results.
Seems to be very fair option and as well relatively easy to implement using already existing data.
Even then bugs like 16th place of T.C. with 4 votes (36 pts. total) vs. 16th place of Hayes (46 pts. total) vs. Scortia 18th (138 pts. total) would be solved automatically ;)

hehe, it may be a bit unpopular, but i like the voting as it is. i just wish (agree to joes comment) that more ppl make use of it, and do vote (i for myself am the no3 in the voting-statistics just behind joe and ed with 2440+ votes)
and yes, keep the possibility of anonymous voting, because its a good thing. also in democompos you vote anonymously - and there is good reasons for that. so what.
downvoting and namevoting and whatever was always part of the szene. we gotta live with that i say.
well, when i think about it... there really is ONE thing i dont like too much. lets take knoeki as an example... let him become the best coder of all time - he will most likely never get rid of the low votes he actually has - so he could be better than hcl or others, but never beat them in the charts eventually. so maybe votes need to be reset sometimes. i know, thats not a real option - because no one is willing to vote more often for the same production / szener, so it would end up with lame charts again. thats the only problem i see in the actual voting-system.
ah yes, and i still dont really understand the formula :) when i use a pocket calculator, i have an average of 7.8 as a graphician i think. but csdb says its 7.4... but i can also live with that fact. |

That's because of the weighted voting I think...mid-range votes count a little bit more than extreme votes (10 and 1 for instance) towards the average. |

Here are a set of ideas that could work:
Only those that Sign up to and Log into CSDb can download files.
Only 1 file can be downloaded at anyone time.
Once a file has been downloaded, a second file cannot be downloaded until the previous file / release has been voted on.
No hidden votes. All votes are made public.
A vote can be edited, never deleted.

I say, get rid of voting completely.
Add tagging instead! |

i have a better idea - whoever starts whining about the voting, will be switched into voting mode and cant access the forum nor the comments unless he voted for an additional 100 entries. |
