One last time: make voting optional when a release is created
There has been so much said about the ridiculous voting system at CSDb, that it is surprising it is still there. A voting system has no place in a database. A database like this collects data, but not votes, which is not fact based, but empathy based.
I don't want to start a new thread discussing this. I just would like to know if it could be agreeable to add a check box when you create a release, to allow or disallow voting for that particular release (one time choice only). I don't want people to vote for my age old releases, nor has that any value when they do. At least give us the choice to ban voting for releases we merely add for archival sake, and not to show off or be judged by lamers.
If that is not agreeable, then so be it. I will consider deleting my archival releases.

There is no way you can remove your entries from here, if you start doing that, you'll will get an auto-ban and the entries can easily be undeleted. |

Why? I created the release, so I am a maintainer. I should be able and be allowed to delete my own creations? I am the intellectual owner so to speak. Why would that matter? |

I agree with you, but that's how it works here. |

I see, and we do not challenge status quo for the good of the many?
Then I am just left with the question: is a checkbox to allow or disallow voting when we create our own release agreeable or not.
If that answer is also no, the only option is not to upload anything new/old, nor create anything new. |

Wouldn't it be easier to just add a user option to turn off the display of all votes completely, so that those who don't care about them no longer need to see them? |

There is an even easier solution to all of this: Care less! |

This!
Mr. Mouse, you will be judged by people the second you start releasing stuff to the public, no matter whether there is an actual voting system or not.
I can't see the problem, really. |
