Repeal Anonymous Voting
Anonymous voting allows cowards to abuse the voting system. People downvote like sneaky little bastards. If you are voting for a person, group or release and you feel that your particular vote is how you honestly feel then there is no reason to conceal your vote. Repealing anonymous voting would weed out a large portion of the downvoters. |

as yazoo said, *most* people vote anonymously, and for a good reason. (and some for a bad reason, shit happens). thats why anonymous voting exists, and will continue to exist. it is one of these things you can not force on the users, most of the anonymous voters simply will stop voting alltogether, and have there previous votes removed too.
something that is probably doable (rather easily even) would be an option to decide wether you want the anonymous votes included in the ranking that you see. |

Now the latter suggestion is a great idea I think. More discussion along that note would be good. |

Quoting CreaMDIt would be nice to have alternative rank based on popularity..
You would just count all votes together and order the results from the highest sum of points to the lowest. ;-)
hm. actually i like the idea.
popularity just by summing up seems a bit vague when a vote of 5 means average. but using values -5 to 5 sounds good to me. some time ago i collected the csdb votes of all graphicians in the top ranking and tried some statistics this way.
http://vetodrom.com/media/common/CSDb_votes_graphician_04dec200..
btw there is one point i do not understand. the table contains calculated avarage votes next to the official ones in the csdb ranking. in most cases there is a distinct difference. are csdb votes weightened? |

Remove the csdb voting system and vote in the disk magazines instead.

Here's a suggestion: give each user a preference where they can choose between:
Count all votes (i.e. same as now).
Count only public votes.
Minimal impact to the site, and people who don't like anonymous votes don't have to be bothered by them. |

yes, thats exactly what i ment. i'd add a little twist to it and for those who are not logged in show stats based on whatever setting the majority of users actually use - without telling which it is ofcourse =) |

2 things I don't get:
#1: Why do people get so ass-sore for bad votes? Only thing I can think of is that these peoples mom told them they are NO. #1 throughout their entire life and "suddenly" they get depressed and shit when they find out they ain't...
#2: Why do people Downvote? Can't for the life of me figgure out the motive for this... Personal disputes and petty quarrels... come on...
To the lippwobblers out there: Toughen the fuck up.... Noone gives a rats ass... |

Personally, i would just display randomly generated votes at each page refresh. |
| Previous - 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | ... | 15 - Next |
