Repeal Anonymous Voting
Anonymous voting allows cowards to abuse the voting system. People downvote like sneaky little bastards. If you are voting for a person, group or release and you feel that your particular vote is how you honestly feel then there is no reason to conceal your vote. Repealing anonymous voting would weed out a large portion of the downvoters. |

Quote: Hmmm, voting is really for someone trying to win something.. Is csdb a huge demo competition everyone is trying to win? I think we should Scrap voting as csdb is just a database of c64 scene releases isn't it? And voting is just there to say how much you like something.. Which can also be proved ny the amount of downloads.? Anyway.... ;)
no, number of downloads doesn't mean anything. Some good stuff may be left overlooked, many crap and even not working downloads have a counter of over 500. |

Quoting StainlessWhat about the non-anonymous downvoters ?
as I said above...
"By making only non anonymous votes counted for some of us, not everyone will get fairer rank. Not all unfair downvoters are anonymous."
the new filter feature won't be a miracle solution.

Just wanted to remind people that all those that do not care about various issues in various treads (such as this one) has a tendency not to bother writing posts in these threads, for obvious reasons. Why write a post to say that you don't care about something? Hence, it is easy to get the impression that these issues are "big issues" that "many members" of this board "cares a lot" about, even if that might actually not be the case.
Therefore, I would like to make an exception to the tendency mentioned above, to say explicitly that I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY don't care about the issue of anonymous voting on CSDb. ...and the point is that I think the vast majority of the users here are with me in having this stance towards this issue. I can't be sure of that, of course. How would you know? ...but I would bet on it.
At least I think this possibility should be taken into account. If it is true, then there is no need to panic. Just leave things the way they are (because that is the easiest), and everything will be just fine (even though the few yellers may give you the impression of something else).

Word!
Differentiate between The Charts in disk magazines and aggregated votes in various online fora. |

I'm not speaking generally, but in one particular case it seems it is quite easy to have guts and balls when you are idiot whose number of handles is almost as big as number of releases, which means that as far as your reputation is concerned you don't have anything to lose.
And generally, the less people achieved or know, the more they tend to have extreme judgements not taking context into account. |

So, apart from not wanting to receive emails or to take the effort in discussing your vote with the scener/group etc involved. What other reasons are there to be anonymous? |

Indeed, I'm squarely in the don't care camp too, but I think most of us would want these whiny voting threads to FOAD. Hence my rather drastic suggestion to simply hide the voting statistics - there just wouldn't be any fodder for the threads.
A filter's a good start though. |
