Misuse of voting
- Is there any policy of someone voting for themselves?
- Someone voted a '1' for all of the credentials of my profile. Now since this person was never on my BBS, and not on the scene when I had a bbs... how could they vote a '1'.
In fact, said person, voted a '1' all the way through my voting sections on here. The person is a member of a group that I have a disagreement with, and it was purely done to be malicious.
I'm not really concerned with what the vote results have to say, but if there's a policy or something that can be done, I'd like to know.
Voting complete 1's for someone isn't fair if you're doing it just to be malicious and not acting upon the person's actual contributions - then they go and vote for themselves.

Quote: this is a repeating problem... the public votes would be the radical cut. The best would be to set 1 month transition period, send out the e-mails to all the registered users of csdb who have hidden their votes that they have 1 month to erase the votes they consider usafe ;-)))
What is the problem making the votes public? People cant stand behind their votes? If thats the case they shouldnt even vote. |

Hehe,Human-nature disrupts any objective voting-system.
Many lines have been written about this topic already.
But making the votes public might be a good thing.
Anyway,my own rule is simple...
If I have nothing nice to say,I´ll shut up.
Besides..
Seeing a release rated too high (in your opinion) doesn´t need a harsh correction by giving it 1/2/3.
I have seen good stuff being lower rated than BASIC-shit.
Maybe it does help to make additional votes for demos possible.
Like a "Coding","Music","Graphics" and "Design" option? |

Mason, I think the only problem with public votes is that the people running this site don't want them. We even voted about it, didn't we? So I guess we'll have to live with these discussions popping up now and then. |

This is an old discussion, yes .. maybe I should once again bring up my solution that only public voters can give marks from 1-10, and anonymous voters from 4-7 or so?
Now please ignore this, as before, so everything is back to the status quo. |

Since virtually everyone and everything gets downvoted at some stage, I tend to think it all evens itself out anyway!
That said, I would like to see public voting. |

Just for stating that I'll downvote you ;-) |

Dear site admins, let us vote on it again, let us decide for those public votes and finally do nothing about it (again).
Or just remove the whole voting-system. It only spreads hate and makes people go nuts. |

Once you have the option to make your votes public or hidden, you should also let the sceners deicide if they want to be ranked or not. |
