Well I'm not asking without a reason. I've been running the voting system at Remix64 for about 17 years now, which his similar to CSDb in that it's semi open. The manipulations I have seen. So no, it's not that crazy. :)
Thanks for the info, and don't worry, I easily deal and live with it downvoting, and/or coming in close second (anyone who knows me a little shoud be able to confirm that). Still I like a fair game, and I was asking out of curiosity. |

What is downvoting though?
I must admit, I stretched my votes so the range was from 5 to 10, just so I could seperate the 22 entries into 6 quality categories.
I'd prefer to have voted from 7 to 10 in smaller increments, but csdb is what it is. |

Downvoting would be if I voted a 3 on any fellow contestant to increase my chances of winning, while I would normally give him a better vote. For example I'd give Jammer a 2 rather than a 4 lol 😂 |

But of course it's hardly possible to prove. In the end, it's a matter of personal honor and integrity. |

Sounds like you prefer social desirable voting over honest voting? :P |

At Remix64 I've solved it like this:
- You can vote anonymously
- Adding a small comment aka "shout" will publish the vote. The vote's weight will be double
- Adding a full review will make the vote count triple
Additionally, the average is weighted, meaning single outlying votes have lesser weight, discouraging tactical voting in either direction.
For the yearly Remixer of the Year award, a simple collection of nominations will determine the winner, for the manipulation of votes in the voting system would still be too tempting.
Anyway for future CSDb compos, a rule could be that only public votes are counted for the result. Would solve a lot of problems, and wouldn't need any extra coding or external voting mechanisms. |

i dont get that fetish with public voting :) it will only reduce the number of votes even more (making the result even less representative) and result in even more back petting votes.
also who cares. if you do it for the votes, you shouldnt be doing it perhaps. |
