Votes

Why do some of you hide your votes? HMM? this makes no sense. And stop downvoting people just because you do not like them.

This database is supposed to be accurate, not a place for you to continue with your stupid grudges and scene wars.

a note to perff: since Secret Man, WDR etc have been deleted from this, I think you should also remove all their votes.

and get rid of this hidden voting, if people cannot publicy stand by their vote choices, then they shouldn't be voting at all.

Quote: I think the only way of making downvoting irrelevant is to have many, many votes. And making the votes public wont give you more votes, more the opposite.

PS: I think downvoting was/is/will always (be) there.


This is also Perff's argument. It's partially acceptable, but that won't get rid us of manipulative voting and making of fake accounts. If voting was public you could ask.. who is that "butazomba" , "dork123"? etc? (the names are invented)

P.S. I think that only real, identifiable persons/sceners should be allowed to vote. Not someone with fake-name.

why do we keep going over this subject aswell???

how are we going to ever get a voting system that will work when everyone has different ideas about how good something is???

why do we need a voting system anyway??? why dont we just allow comments to what ever instead of voting???

i mean who cares now anyways about votes???

unless someone can come up with a better fairer system than the one we have i dont think we should even discuss this subject because it will always highlight problems

ive personally never ever released anything for the c64 yes im a lamer but i would rather constructive criticism and general facts about what ive done than getting a 1 - 10 but more to the point i would be just happy with my own work full stop

Discussing it is important, because as you see it's important for many people having different views on the same subject.

As for being satisfied with constructive criticism (comments) and removing "point system" I agree ;-). Doint it vice versa would be also good... ...e.g. rule/system that voter must provide comment/reasons together with his vote ;-)))

Voting allows the scene to give its opinions.

You are rated by your Peers. (???!)

Seems stupid not to know what peers think what. No point.

Those that keep your votes hidden, you just don't feel strongly enough about your votes to tell anyone who msg's you about it to piss off. Or ignore them altogether.

Okay, let me throw in yet another option. No, this time I won't bring forward the "anonymous voters can only vote 4-7", this is a new one.

With all this talk about 'personalizing' csdb (people can decide if they want to see cracks, people can decide if they want to see plus/4 stuff), why not make it so that people can decide if they want to see scores based on ALL votes, or on TRANSPARENT votes only? That way everybody can still vote however they want, but it's up to the viewer to decide if they want to take anonymous votes in consideration.

Or maybe even don't see any scores at all. Personally, I like the charts, and many with me. For the people that don't think it's necessary, they should be able to switch it off and leave us ranking-lovers just be ;)

As I candidate to the title of CSDb presidentship, I first want to state how high I hold this establishment, these traditions and the fruitful discussions we all hold here. If you choose me for president I will do everything in my power to improve the democracy here, to be a voice for the weak-voiced and and a mediator in conflicts. Know this - I would do anything to keep the discussion free and filled with tolerance and compassion. Do also know that I will defend these values with the power invested in me.

To cast a vote on me in the election is a vote for stability, a vote for trust and freedom. Cast your vote, citizen. You won't regret it. I would also like to thank Dane for the tremendous support he's given me during this campaign, and I would like to seize the opportunity to announce him as my candidate for vice-president.

Once again, I thank you all. God bless you.
