Downloads and votes and the public
We in offence got this mail, and also several others like it in meaning... I think this is something we could have a talk about as it is something that is a bit important. It really is, because there are so many people out there actually liking the things we do create. CSDB is a hangaround place where we get away from the rest of the world maybe but could we do something with this in future?
------------------
Hey,
can you forward this to Ole Marius?
He said that "hundreds of people download tunes to check them out, but only 20 or so care to vote" about the Highscore Ballad Compo. Well ... I know why! You can't get an account at CSDb unless you can call yourself active in the scene, so lots and lots and lots of people out there will never have an account (= can't vote) because they don't know how to code / to make a SID / whatever. And since I don't have an account either, I can't tell him that ... :)
------------------
Just something I think is important to talk about.... |

Hmmmm indeed.
PAL wants to let all of his friends in here so they can vote for his stuff.
STE wants to allow access to a hitherto unknown phalanx that is too refined for CSDB.
DANE wants public votes. Or no votes at all. I think it's been at last two months since we had that old thread bumped.
And browsing the thread I see that almost everybody got what they wanted. Except me. Bummer. |

And I want 100% anonymous votes in competitions or/and without the possibility to change it whenever a vote is given. Actually I'd like to see the vote statistics hidden as long as the voting is going on as well. And to get rid of a little bit of the downvoting we can do like they do in ski jumping: Remove the highest and lowest votes and make an average of the rest... or something like that :) |

Kristian, you will get your 100% anonymous voting (and 100% anonymous entries) in upcoming C64.sk Sid Compo. ;-)) |

The way the competition was started here is actually an abuse of CSDb, strictly speaking. This is a database where to document releases and party/compos held somewhere else, and votes on single entries here shouldn't be mixed with the compo votes, they don't reflect those in the actual compo in an absolute manner, because people can still vote entries after the compo ended and results published. CSDb in other words, isn't actually the place to hold compos, but only to document them. Hence, the request for changing how things work here to make better compo voting, shouldn't get any consequences. Make a site, put stuff there and manage your voting as you want. my 2 cents. |

Ian, that's true, but maybe CSDB could expand a little to cover those things as well? I mean, since (some) of the active people are already here, why "chase" them elsewhere to have their fun? |

The place is visited and motivates it's community to be creative, so it would be useful to have tools for online compo organising. There is a lot of stuff that could be done to move this site to next level. Allowing guest accounts (for non-editor) is one of them. Ditching of anonymous voting another (hi Dane ;-) |

I think you are getting a bit to blue-screen nerdy a lot of times... I just thought I would post that email here because I think it is important to have a talk on these matters... It is no personal thing from me? I do not even know that guy... and all I said were that even MY PAYING CLIENTS, THE ONES THET PAY FOR MY HOURS AT WORK do watch the c64 demos on youtube and think it is really great... And to me that is really exciting... it is just outstandingly cool. This is not people sitting at the room in their parents home, it is grown people of both gender thinking these rear things are cool... it is even people that do not know the machine at all... but they like the style and retro and sound or different things... it is worth taking into consideration for our community and that were my thought on posting something about it here.

I wouldn't mind non-anonymous voting, but only if vote statistics are disabled until voting is over and as long as you are not able to change your vote. I think that might prevent strategic voting a bit. Of course, you can vote strategically, but you know you will be busted for it once the voting is over. |

...Ohhh... and forgot... the ones they seem to enjoy the most all of my artist friends or clients and such... are the ones captured live with cam on screen with the audience sound... they did that! It is like a cool thing... just the noise in the room and the hard hitting demos and applouses and so on... I think that is really cool to show them... not like movies with machenes and sweety people likeus picking our noses and scratching our arses but the real tension feeds from the compos... LOVE IT!!! |
