What's downvoting...
Quoting Shine
"LOVE TO THE NEGATIVE DOWNVOTERS..."
Means what exactly?
Just curious, what is a downvote in your opinion, Knight Rider?

Excess ICC2021 4KB Intro
Feel free to lead (yet another) philosophical debate on the definition of downvoting here, but pretty please not in entry comments ffs
and behave...
*opens his umbrella for weather forecast tells me to expect shitstorm and heavy vote whining tears rains*
An example from some drama last summer: Voting a 2 on something with zero downloads (which means someone votes it lower than 10 without even downloading the file), now THAT's definetely downvoting in my book
PS: @the current release overly hard 5s are outweiged by overenthusiastic 10s pretty well currently imho |

just came to my mind: That South Park episode with dick size average publication leading to below average dudes freak out, solution, basically everything was declared above average :D
But I'm afraid telling everyone the average is 1.0 wouldn't do _here_ |

Quoting TheRykFor often it's just personal taste, especially when it comes to gfx and music, taste can't always be explained.
[...]
and couldn't refrain from voting something (which ain't mandatory, NOT voting IS an option, just btw...) Personal taste is a perfectly acceptable answer (especially when it comes to ranking things in a compo).
But not all things are artistic and thus bound to random judgement.
Seeing certain votes on some of the tools i released made me scratch my head a little (not so much with demos, even the more technical ones). :)
And yes, not voting is an option indeed. If it's shit, ignore it and carry on. =) |

Downvoting is obviously voting below the average. ;) |

But why would you not vote when you can get free drama? |

Quoting KrillAssuming the guy asked politely and in good faith, is that so bad?
Whenever somebody votes not-10 on any of my releases, i'd like to know what in their book is missing to make it a 10. Out of pure interest and some vestiges of ambition.
Very politely, hence I died only a little :D IMHO, the very need to ask this is kind of a problem. Should I ask about constructive criticism all the people who voted different than I anticipated or hoped for? ;) |

Plot Twist: More than once when i actually bothered to write my honest (and imho constructive) criticism into the comments, one of the usual suspects pops up and babbles about grumpy sceners who cant appreciate anything. The only thing they achieve with that is: next time i will no more bother and just vote for the drama. |

Extension of that plot twist: I once received vague threats because a person that I barely know (but was somehow associated with by the person who threatened me) said something negative about a production by a guy. Guilt by association. I didn't even say anything myself. |

Just BTW my votes are anonymous since some skript kid hacked my settings, and I think they just stay this way :D |
