Transparent votes?
There's been a lot of "discussion" in the one-liner box about whether voting should be transparent, i.e. you can see who voted (and their vote's value).
I feel that things should stay as they are, just the number of votes and "weighted" vote shown for each entry. That would save all the arguments "why did you vote low for me?" or "he/she is a lamer, they voted low for me/my release"
What do others think? |

right. It's better for personal improvement, 'cause you can go to someone and ask what was not so good in the release. |

But will it? Or will people vote low because they don't LIKE someone, regardless of what the release is like?
You can TRY to improve yourself anyway, regardless of WHO voted for you. I just think it will provoke more meaningless discussion and WASTE ENERGY. |

i don't see why it should be anonymous. there's nothing to hide really. |

Transparent votes is a load of shit. Why would you really want it? I know of many people who would never vote if it was not transparent (I would not vote in transparent charts). If there is thought to be some fudging of votes then the admins here have their logs which may trace IPs and usernames (both important). Otherwise people create fake accounts, vote etc. I see transparent votes is some kind of stand over tactics. Scare people from being honest without fear. If they did introduce transparent votes then I'd be happy to see voting elimated entirely. |

I think I don't currently care or know, whether I would like such a thing or not. After you discuss it for a while, the only solution is a poll. There are people who want and people who don't.. |

However, it would be interesting to know who voted for what. I don't care that much, whether I have something to hide or not. On pouet, there exist transparent votes (but only thumbs up/down and neither numbers nor voting for individual sceners too) and it's fine for me.
Also, some people intentionally vote really bad marks for specific demos, just because they think these demos got an attention they didn't deserved. Deus Ex Machina for example, someone voted 1. Why 1 and not 3 or 5 if he doesn't like it? He intentionally wanted to lower it's position I beleive.
Happens in Pouet sometimes too (rarely), there is for example a demo in the top10 and someone doesn't beleive it deserves such attention and he votes it down out of reaction to the many thumbs up votes, even if he admits that he wouldn't thumb it down under normal conditions but he did only to counter the many possitive votes that this shouldn't have got in his opinion. |
