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. |

The fact that people vote less if the votes aren't anonymous is a not a very good reason to keep things the way they are. What you gain from people daring to lay an honest vote in anonymity is shadowed by the heavy abuse of said anonymity in terms of downvoting and tactical voting. When the function one day is implemented, i'll purge the anonymous votes straight out of my event-horizon and treat them like the flawed part of a system they are.
On other alternatives; the "like"- button isn't a good option either; even the thumbs up, down- and piggy-system of Pouet is better than this. Public negative opinions ftw.
Save for this, I really think the anonymous voting on CSDb must be destroyed. |

What HCL and Jailbird said:
Seriously, why is this topic so important? I see alot of down voters that are not anonymous. The charts looks decent to me, i'm an up voter myself. If some jerks down vote something / someone good i'll up vote.. I HAVE down voted idiots like WDR and that kinda people but i guess we all have? ;)
If only more people actually would vote for our diskmags we'd see better charts in those. ONS/WD: You need a webinterface for easy voting. Same goes to Triad..

Quote: Here's a suggestion: give each user a preference where they can choose between:
Count all votes (i.e. same as now).
Count only public votes.
Minimal impact to the site, and people who don't like anonymous votes don't have to be bothered by them.
*BUMP* (It's this time of year again!) |

i don't think there's a problem with downvoting but with brainlessly upvoting of popular shit and people. |

I sense the problem (if you can really call it a problem), is that some people are not voting what they really think of the product before first looking at the average (or what other people have voted) and then trying to down-/upvote it making the average fit more into their taste.. |

i think the problem is mostly that no matter what people vote, someone will be butthurt. |
