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

Moloch: who? And how do you know?
That mods know who voted, despite votes being “anonymous”, is another problem on CSDb IMO. So votes are anonymous - but only to “the plebs” (to coin a term oft used by Boris Johnson and his ilk).
Also, the weird algorithm used… how can scores sometimes be skewed so heavily away from the simple average..? |

agreed on both points. that sort of elitism is meh, the algorithm - which makes 7 a downvote - even more so.
make all votes anonymous! *puts up the flag, digs a trench* |

Well, you gotta have some sort of advantage if you help bear the burden of running this place.. ;)
God asks Hedning: Hedning, would you help out running CSDb, by being a mod?
Hedning responds: Not so sure about that. Seems like a lot of work. What's in it for me?
God says: Uhh.... uhm.. you get to see who the downvoters are?
Hedning says: Deal!! |

I.. can... not... resist...
I need to bring up my awesome idea here, again.
Every forum member has a list of top 5 (or 10) per category.
Every now and then the website (or so) generates the charts from those lists. They could/should be public but if they were anonymous it limits the 'abuse' as well.
Also, there is no way anymore to identify particularly bad releases.
While 'worst 10' is fun, there is really no need for it.
(and even then, you could add personal worst 5 as well, etc...) |

Whoever voted 5/10 needs shooting
Maybe someone who has got only one SID or one ear and thus, hates the idea of Stereo and divided his upvote by 2?

The plebs shall eat cake!

Seriously, this ain't an advantage at all. It's far better not to know certain things, and I'm not speaking of ppl who vote on my stuff (I've never checked that, not even my scener rating - which is kinda overrated anyway) but of the rare occasions when people pointed Mods to hunt down downvoters - which btw only once happened last year and that case was really clear as the culprit's 2s flew in before anyone even could download the file...
To be honest, I mostly moved the comment to keep the entry comments clear of that discussion; I did NOT expect this thread to result in any clear definition. But I hope even the discussion illustrates how problematic it is that we currently have General behaviour rule I.6 stating something (downvoting) leads to ban though that 'something' isn't even possible to define...
@Enthusi: I like your suggestion! Not easy to implement, of course, but way smarter than the current situation. |

I'd even be very interessted in this information.
Like: Ah, The(mighty)Ryk considers those to be the true legends of c64 demo scene.
It would easily lead to learning about gems I may not have been aware of. It would also help the leverage of old demos vs new hyped ones (imo). |
