CSDb voting system
I know that the voting system have been discussed before. But things tend to be questionable when people gives 1 point for Vanja's work. It's clear that some people just down vote really good entries for some reason. And it is always "anonymous" voting too. Noone seems to stand for their down votes, making them totally useless in my eyes.
I like the voting system, and think we should have one, but I really think we should stop allowing anonymous voting! The whole system fucks up when it's used.
Down voting sucks! |

Maybe only the ones that vote very high or very low (e.g. 8-10 and 1-3) should be shown public. This could prevent up- and downvoting. Just my 2ct... |

This is an endless discussion and I suggest Sledge that you think about the consequences with anonymous voting as well. When you do that you'll realize that it is impossible to have a "fair" voting system. Both anonymous and non-anonymous voting have the pros and cons. It's really hard to tell which system is best.
I suggest remove the voting system completely and only have user comments. A comment tells 1000 times more than a simple vote.
Or keep anonymous voting but when you vote you must also write a comment (anonymously) or something... |

I vote for removing all entries completely, so there's nothing to vote for anymore. And this vote of mine, it's anonymous, ofcourse. |

Perhaps we could clear the anonymous votes before showing the names of the voters. By doing that you protect those who have been voting anonymously, and give them as chance to do a new vote or not?
It's not a big deal, but sometimes it feels a bit unfair when someone have done such a great job on a production, just to get down voted by someone (for whatever reason).

No anonymous voting!
If people cant stand by their votes or comments, they shouldnt make them! |

Or make an option to calculate ratings based on all or only public votes. Preferably the latter should be default.

I mean if someone really thinks a release deserves one point only, okay... but when it comes to certain releases like Vanja's latest graphics I guess it's safe to say the person who downvotes is either hostile against Vanja for what-the-heck-I-know reason for or he/she's just a jealous idiot with too much time, either way it's stupid.
Personally I don't really care about the votings anyway. |

Anonymous voting be gone!
Although I must say I quite liked the idea of being forced to comment when voting as anon.
but the downvoting now sucks ;_;

Example: http://noname.c64.org/csdb/toplist.php?type=scener&subtype=%281..
In the current cracker charts I'm on spot #59, while GRG is on spot #60, this is ridicolous as Glenn is a far better cracker than I am. |

That is because when someone votes for one entry in the list, (s)he isn't obliged to rank all others.
So ranking based on the current voting system is just plain nonsense.
The voting system doesn't work.
It's flawed, borked, useless and meaningless.
Therefor, I don't vote.
