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...

Quote:I think perhaps upvoting is a bigger problem than downvoting
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. |

"I submited an idea to the admin about a better voting system to avoid anti-voting."
sorry to say, so did about every other user already - most of which think they had a better idea than you, or us. (and you got a reply from me personally, remember? =P)
and what fierman said. |

So... If you think something is wrong, don't try to change it, just stay away? I respect that this can be some people's opinion, but I for one will try to change something when I think it doesn't work or is wrong. I do see that there's little that can be done here, though. |

if there is a problem with the voting then it is quantity. adjusting the rating by a single vote i'd say there are too few people involved. |
