What's stopping someone from creating a fake account for downvoting?
I just don't get why people are allowed to vote anonymously...
What's stopping me then, from making a new fake account just
for down (or up)-voting someone?
I think this happened to Offence's Trick and Treat. Somebody just
made a fake account and voted 1 and 2. And it just fell from top 10 to
below 70.
I have never seen a downvoter voting with a handle, they're all anonymous...

At Datastorm we will only allow anonymous downvotes, and the winner will be the release that scores a perfect 1.0. Get with the program people! |

Quoting Groepazi for example always vote either 10 or 1, simply because i think that its impossible to give a fair more fine grained vote without investing a lifetime into judging and comparing a few ten thousend productions. and i do it anonymously because i dont fucking feel like discussing why i am up or downvoting some particular release.
I can see your point there. I find valuating things using pre-defined scales really painful experience due to rather black and white way my mind works in forming any kind of opinions, I simply either like or dislike something and forcing myself to come up with any alternatives between those two options lead always in troubles as in most cases I can't even describe properly the reasons about why I like something, or don't. I think any feedback is better than no feedback at all but personally I prefer some constructive criticism in written form over numbers which just put the subject somewhere in chart but don't tell anything about why it ended up in that particular place.

indeed. you just have to look back at a handful recent releases to find some that have a surprisingly high voting, although they are utter crap.
Quote:I think the voting scale should be 1, 2, 3 as in bad, medium, good. Trying to find nuances between 1-10 is just boring anyway :)
yep, thats what i would do aswell. |

To avoid comradery it would be better if the releases were anonymized as well, so people don't know what they vote for. |

IF the votes would actually be ment to form an unbiased and objective type of measurement, then yes. |

i wonder if some people realize that IF that was actually the case, it would be very likely that they wouldnt be allowed to vote. |

i submited an idea to the admin about a better voting system to avoid anti-voting. i never got an answer. its pretty sad to see that the admins dont care about ideas. improve the voting system, or completly remove it. its buggy now ;)

the voting system is fine. if you don't like it, you should not use it. |
