The voting system is completely retarded
I just can't wrap my head around this unmitigated, pure crap we use for voting. Here's a situation where I actually have to vote waaaay lower than it deserves, in order to increase a release's rating.
This is simply ridiculous.
"Hey, this release is really cool, I'll give it a tenner."
"WTF, the rating got lower?!? Ok, maybe it counts as an illicit upvote and it is filtered with some clever algorythm, let's go with 9 then."
"Damn, now it's way lower than it would be without my vote. Maybe an 8 will help?"
"Nah, this is getting worse, but let's see what happens if I vote with a 7."
"Shit, still no good, I'll jump to an ever lower number just for the sake of experiencing more of this shit."
"Oh great, now we're getting somewhere, one more try."
"YEY! I love this release, so it will get a 6 from me." |

what about a range of 1 - 100 for voting anyways?
i always wondered why this range was not used at X party for example. at some demos i think a 9 is too low, but 10 is too much. and i could also express with a higher range that i formyself like demo a) the most with 98 points, than demo b) giving 95 points. (second best demo) where with the option of a scale of 1-10 i would give both a 10.
hope you get the point ;) |

Quoting Oswaldgrow up finally Oh come on, Oswald. By the same logic, please grow up and quit sending products to competitions then. We are using a 36 years old computer to one up each other on fields which is basically completely ludicrous to any normal person.
If you haven't noticed that till now, "growing up" is not really our thing. |

@Jailbird: Spot on. :) Although one can dream that one day we will realize that we're just doing this for fun.
Quoting Mr AmmoAll votes are already public. But the voters remain anonymous, like it should be. You seem to lean towards tyranny. You're comparing this to the process of electing political leaders for democratic countries? But shouldn't we cast the votes on paper and have a decentralized counting to reduce the risk of election fraud? |

We're an anarchosyndicalist commune. We take
it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week.
ARTHUR: Yes.
DENNIS: But all the decision of that officer have to be ratified
at a special biweekly meeting.
ARTHUR: Yes, I see.
DENNIS: By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs,--
ARTHUR: Be quiet!
DENNIS: --but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more--
ARTHUR: Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!
WOMAN: Order, eh -- who does he think he is? |

Funny, I too was thinking of a govenrnment analogue. In a sense that it is not possible to create a truthful system, because some cannot handle the truth. The negotiated compromise is a system that obscures the inconvenient facts and opinions. The system cannot be fixed or removed as over time everything is tied to the status quo, and a lot of time and effort is invested into that. |
