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. |

Someone has voted Dutch Breeze 5/10
That is their choice. I think most will agree, it is a dumb choice.
If there was an option to vote:
'Vote Anonymous'
'Vote Known'
I would vote for Vote Known

Yeah I show my votes too (obviously).
If someone gets a low vote from me, too bad...
Am I scared of their retaliation? Nah, this is a just the internetz... come on, take it on the chin and get on with it.
The deliberate down voters suck, if revealing the voters weeds them out, so be it! :D However I do like the idea of choosing to turn off anonymous votes... That fits everyone then...
I managed disk magazine voting, which is a different environment. You would rarely get anonymous votes (as an editor receiving the sheets) and the system had no weighting (so now down voting). Different scene, of course... :D The biggest problem were the Editors themselves who would manipulate the charts in favour of who they felt deserved the positions.

I'd vote to abandon the voting system as it's a complete waste of time. |

To answer Groepaz a few lines back: "so where can i vote about who is in charge of vandalism news?"
There is the fantastic choices of different categories for each individual as far as I remember it.
But would it not have been more fascinating with the diversity, such as with old game-reviews of sorting each prod. according to Audial/Visual work, Durability and so forth, translated back here to an average of the total blend.
About the private or public voting system, I still believe there is the layer of integrity which at one point has to be questioned:
This is a private space. We are guests in this restaurant, some paying (not me) for the chefs cooking.
Could someone mention just one public space in this world, which is not governed by administration making it private over night by using the tool of a door! |

Quote: I don't mind doing that at all. But I haven't had anyone request it until now. If I receive further feedback of the same nature I will put it online (unlike some individuals I am willing to implement new ideas or change existing ones, e.g. an expanded "Credit" section in Vandalism that was suggested to me by an avid reader).
Regarding ANONYMOUS VOTING on CSDb. It has been suggested on numerous occasions by many people that it would nice to remove the anonymous feature.
Technically impossible? Trial it!
David: Just to make things clear here. Regarding the anonymity of voters in VN, that is not your call to make alone.
Regarding the votes at CSDb am I not interested to bother in this debate. An aggregation of votes over years and years is a funny thing, but completely different from the contemporary charts in disk magazines - where a reset button is pressed with each issue as new votesheets are gathered. Please read my notes on it in the soon-to-come issue of VN. |

you have a quite important point there, which again shows how little anyone should care about the votes here =P |

Quote: 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 =)
Or if we're really going to fix the voting system, simply hide the statistics and only show the (weighted) average - that's pretty much how every other site does it anyway. |
