Random topic closures

"Adam summed things up nicely and now another pointless thread about voting at CSDb comes to a close.

(read: Things aren't going to change)"

I am tired too about that topic, but just because *you* dont like it, its no reason to close it. This moderator function is abused way too much.

Mixer: are you joking? It's much easier to whine on a forum than doing something productive.

@Mixer: Yeah, sounds nice and easy right?

Guessing here, there have been five or six projects over the years to replace parts of or the entirety of CSDb functionality. Guess how many are finished and available to the public? ;)

Add to list: it has been shown that attempts to improve situation have not made any difference. I guess CSDB source is not open public either, eh?

Groepaz: just checking all avenues. Just like government IT projects, theyre shit and cannot be fixed, because they just cannot, but people still have to pay taxes and fees for the upkeep.

Quoting iAN CooG

It's not whining to suggest improvements. Just for the record I think that this is an unbelieveably great collection of C64 warez, and there are only a few things that maybe could be done in a better way. Most important is probably not closing down discussions because mods find them pointless.

The discussion about the voting system is, in fact, pointless as after 29 threads nothing has changed.

MOAR THREADS isn't going to change the problems with the voting system

Surely leaving the topic open would result in fewer threads?

That way there'd just be one massive page for everyone who doesn't care to ignore, instead of a new one cropping up every time someone's baffled by the way their vote changes the score, or is convinced that downvoting is somehow "fixable"


(position statement: anon voting is good. Seeing the graphs is nice. CSDB score is not an ideal metric to use for compo votes but it is convenient and seems to get more responses than offsite forms. Being able to submit fractional ratings would be a nice feature, especially given the inflated scores many things seem to get these days. Thanks iAN for taking a hardline stance against rater intimidation).
