Why is this not implemented? |

No real reason I guess. We didn't think it was very common to vote for "The best party".
Should it be possible to vote for events?
Can we get some reactions? :)

No! A meeting with 5 people, and 5 "10" votes will can get to the top.
How do you compare that one with a party with 100-200 attenders?
No party voting. |

I think it has more value than voting for top organizer, fullscreen graphician and categories like that. Dwangi does have a point though, so maybe you should not be able to vote for internal meetings etc., but only for 'real' parties. |

I sincerely would like to know why people can vote for something like an organizer, or swapper (since those two things can only be judged by the people actually knowing these persons) and not for a party (which can only by judged by people actually attending the party).
So why not be consistent, and take away those and other categories as well? Or just add parties (events that meet certain requirements) to the list of votable entities ofcourse .. |

And only the people who attended a party can vote, there is a list of them for every party. |

To control that only people who attendet a party should be able to vote is more or less impossible.
In general there is no 100% relation between the users of CSDb and the info in CSDb, so it is impossible to determine if a user have attended a party.
It's true that there exists relation which should be able to determine this, but it would be SO easy to fake that I won't even consider it.
Also think about a person who has a login here on CSDb, but dosn't have an entry here (/scener/id=XXX) here because he isn't a c64-scener, shouldn't he be alloved to vote?
Anyway, when you say that only people who have gone to a party can vote for it, and only people who knows swappers etc. can vote for them, think about the consequences.
As I see it, what you say will be true for any kind of voting. If you havn't seen a demo you can't have an oppinion, but you can still vote. At least I havn't seen any vote-sheet or party-voting or anything where you had to prove you had actually seen the production in order to be able to vote. The same goes for any other kind of voting I can think of.
So in general to check that people who vote should be alloved to vote on that, I think is a bad idea. It's to hard to check, and will have larger consequences than one initially might think of. If we check it on parties (which we can more or less), some will want us to check on swappers, that you must have swapped with the ones you vote on, etcetc. and finally you MUST have seen a production before you can vote for it, and how will you check that?
So I decide to just say, that we don't check it. If someone is fakevoting we will find it out in other ways.
Well. Back to the original question. Should it be possible to vote for parties here in CSDb?

It was just an idea, since I did not know that someone who only has a login, cannot vote, and, exceptions are allowed in life aswell, not everything needs to be by unbendable rules.
Also, I thought it would motivate people to add the parties they attended, because voting is something people like doing more than digging up their partyhistory and add it over here.
I agree that fakevoting (downvoting in secret, upvoting in secret) is happening all the time with demos, sceners and groups anyway.
