compos and voting on csdb
Am I the only one finding it hard to vote in compos on here? Often one do vote for the entries that are the best in the compo. like 1-10 IN THAT COMPO against entries IN THAT COMPO. It is a compo vote and not a general vote on the whole history of the c64 in a way. Could one create a compo vote thing for compos? That would be so cool in my mind. Just a thought. |

Quoting PALThe only reason for me to start this thread was simple fact that a compo is different than a general scene history vote
And like i said [points upwards] just add a rule to any competition running here which says "all votes must be made in the comments". That means you could start a competition right now with no modifications made, the people working on the CSDb can concentrate on their already Herculean "to do" list and it even removes the frustration of anonymous up/downvoting into the bargain.
Problem solved, you're welcome [curtsey] and all cheques made payable to T.M.R Laboratories LLC please. =-) |

Quote: The voting system should be deleted. In the end it's nothing but a market mechanism which automatically leads to competitive behaviour.
Competitive behaviour is what drives the scene, after all.
To fix the voting system people have to vote *more*, it is that simple. |

There are some nice free online voting systems available that anyone can use and fit perfectly for what is needed here... For example:

At this point "maybe" has more votes than anything else, but that was only me! And imagine teh scene dramas if that happened during a compo... [shudders and looks for somewhere to hide] |

Private mode, and vote and vote and vote, so that was easy to cheat :-D |

i can't see it standing up to anyone taking a serious pop at it though, at least not without needing a sign-up...
i still like the "vote in the comments" idea, it's harder to cheat in bulk even if people start using their fakelabel alter egos or something; maybe i'll get over my shyness/organisational ineptitude and run a little compo to see if it works...? |
