What's stopping someone from creating a fake account for downvoting?
I just don't get why people are allowed to vote anonymously...
What's stopping me then, from making a new fake account just
for down (or up)-voting someone?
I think this happened to Offence's Trick and Treat. Somebody just
made a fake account and voted 1 and 2. And it just fell from top 10 to
below 70.
I have never seen a downvoter voting with a handle, they're all anonymous...

Downvoting fills a purpose.
It balances out the upvoting of certain releases. Like when some old and nostalgic inducing production get voted all 10s by old and nostalgic sceners, responsible downvoters make sure it gets bumped off the top 3 list :)

Downvoters are those who have realized that extreme voting counts more than "nuanced" voting. Can't see what there is to object to that? :) |

You know what would help *muhaha*, if my (tm) system of ranking would be used ;-)
There must be a million threads on this. But each user could simply have a personal TOP5/10 of each category which is then read every 24h or so for the rankings => All problems gone and we really dont need bottom100 releases and we dont even need a list of 'average'. Im ok if none of my demos shows up in more than one *g* TOP5 list ;-) |

I would say that bottom 10 is almost as interesting as top 10 :) |

If you refer to what I said, yes, I'd say competition has always been part of the scene. Who can make the best and most, etc, has always been an important factor.
I wouldn't say that with most of us being around 40 years old, this competition is very serious, but competition is an important drive in the scene and I'm not sure we would have had such an amount of cool releases if it wasn't for the numerous democompos.

i for example always vote either 10 or 1, simply because i think that its impossible to give a fair more fine grained vote without investing a lifetime into judging and comparing a few ten thousend productions. and i do it anonymously because i dont fucking feel like discussing why i am up or downvoting some particular release.
IMHO a whole lot of the entire non existing "problem" could be solved by simply removing the "voting stats" button. can you hear me perff? =) |

Ah, merely removing the visible stats for votes would indeed help! :) |

I think perhaps upvoting is a bigger problem than downvoting and I am quite sure the comradery is living well here at CSDB.
I think the voting scale should be 1, 2, 3 as in bad, medium, good. Trying to find nuances between 1-10 is just boring anyway :) |
