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...

"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. |

Make the raw vote data easily downloadable. Then everybody can experiment with alternative weighting strategies to their heart's content, and publish the results wherever they like. |

Sure, I'll set up a special account for that purpose and pipe the input to one of my UNIX devices :) |

groepaz: and your answer was not worth an admin ;)
suggestion:
if voteamount is higher than x , remove worst vote
examples.:
1. amount of votes for an entry: 50 - remove the worst vote
2. amount of votes for an entry: 100 - remove the 2 worst votes
etc.
easy to code. i would code you that even if you want ;)

question is: is a low vote really a downvote or true opinion? or - which is worse: that voters try to control an avarage rating or an algorythm?
for some reason the japanese anti-individual proverb "loose nail needs to be hit" comes to my mind. even weighting the votes here on csdb is a mixed blessing imo. |

it really really breaks down to low numbers.
The avergage is VERY badly defined, i.e. its variance is high. Median is even worse :)
And still: low votes probably mean that the voter did not like the release :)
I know there are people who vote 3 even though they think 8 but they dont want the ranking to be 9 etc... So what?
