What's downvoting...
Quoting Shine
"LOVE TO THE NEGATIVE DOWNVOTERS..."
Means what exactly?
Just curious, what is a downvote in your opinion, Knight Rider?
removed from Comments on
Excess ICC2021 4KB Intro
Feel free to lead (yet another) philosophical debate on the definition of downvoting here, but pretty please not in entry comments ffs
and behave...
*opens his umbrella for weather forecast tells me to expect shitstorm and heavy vote whining tears rains*
An example from some drama last summer: Voting a 2 on something with zero downloads (which means someone votes it lower than 10 without even downloading the file), now THAT's definetely downvoting in my book
PS: @the current release overly hard 5s are outweiged by overenthusiastic 10s pretty well currently imho |

I did wonder that too.. maybe it could be just a database - and then allow other sites to tap into that (while paying a donation to CSDb) and have their own charts etc…
In theory I like that idea .. but, then, what about user registration and validation, forums like this, etc etc..? Could CSDB’s user database also carry over or be duplicated?
So.. in the end.. easiest to leave things as they are perhaps. |

Don't think that would work, just like C64 releases, once they are "released", then they are out and about for anyone to grab them. What might work is to turn voting off, forums off, comments off and then just operate in the shadows of social media (where those wanting and are remaining anonymous can remain so). Hmm. I guess this has been discussed already. |

Jazzcat, Raistlin and hedning you are all welcome to ignore the forums and votes (either all of them or just the anonymous ones). Plenty of us find value in all of those things.
(and honestly, if you don't think the forums should be here, then why on earth are you posting in them?) |

Another road is to ignore the people caring too much about the voting, perhaps? /ignore on the whiners? |

Transparency: Openness and Accountability :)
Personally anonymous voting simply means i care more for the comments less for the votes.
As i have posted in the past, i would like to see a system that not only removes anonymity but also offers one option that amounts to vote + comment. No voting without commenting. No commenting without applying a vote. Comments must amount to 10 words or more. Only 1 comment allowed per user. To comment further would mean the user taking it to the forum.
No more comment from me with regards to this topic. |

(If the CSDb forums are ever closed down, it would be super nice to first generate a huge PDF with all the contents, or something like that. In particular, it would be too bad to lose some of the information in those coding related discussions.) |

I don't think you have to worry about the forums or comments... It's the voting that creates 80% of the drama, year after year. |

Lets say that the votes are public, and I vote 1 for your product. Will you:
a) accept that it is my opinion?
b) challenge the vote in the forums?
c) think that I am a dick?
d) whine about not getting unconditional love from everyone?
e) think that it is a hostile action toward your person?
f) think that it is not a fair exchange, since you gave my product a 10 in the past? |
