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. |

a) make the faves list have 20 entries, I can easily fill that with demos and sids.
b) no filtering
c) let me se other's faves
d) making voting more easyer would make me vote more often, currently its awkward. :) |

Quoting Groepaza) i know how the filtering works, and i know that a lot of my votes ARE filtered already :) infact i could give my votes 100% more statistical impact by dileberatly voting differently, but i dont care enough really :)
Right, I also realized that since the filtering function was implemented a 3/4 or 8/9 often serves similarly fine as a down/upvote when a 1 or 10 is not registered thanks to the filter.
Quoting Groepazpeople can see the result of the votes before they voted themselves. that should be changed, if you didnt vote on something, then you shouldnt be able to see the result at all. this might also increase the number of people who actually vote :)
Great idea, I wouldn't mind to see this implemented as well.
Quoting Groepazoh and, you obviously shouldnt be able to change your vote either, thats kinda stupid. (or make it so that you can change it only after some weeks or so)
I often change a vote when a certain release grows on me. But yes, I make up my mind during weeks or months or years. So yes, I kinda dig this idea as well. |

There are ways to downgrade gracefully in less-capable browsers, that shouldn´t be much of a problem. |

I recently came across this. Not that it might bring anything new to the discussion, but it's more of a noteworthy reminder. |

"a playground for immature ding-dong fights" - i think we should replace the csdb tagline by that one =) |

Fuck, I was searching for the like button on Groepaz's comment. Internet has ruined me :(
OK, I'm off to shave my head in a lonely shame. |

I think we should implement the possibility to vote for forum threads as well! ;) |
