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.

many people probably don't want to be judged and downvoted because of the votes they have given to others and choose to stay anonymous. but then, they are downvoted anonymously, too. that's the real ironi here. :)

As a matter of fact, i've been temporarily downvoted in retaliation for a non-anonymous midrange vote i gave on another musician just a few weeks ago.

Mind though, I wasnt downvoting in the first place. It was an honest vote of mine.

So although i support public voting, i can understand why some people prefer to vote anonymously.
Not because they want to stir shit up but to avoid having their shit stirred for giving honest non-back-patting votes.

Still, i will keep my votes public.

I am not speaking about Vandalism News but the rules in general.

Transparency or a novice explanation: ball growing (excuse the pun, female members).

Just close the thread and add a FAQ about voting; pointing to the countless threads covering this same bullshit every year.

Anonymous voting. Please don't go off-topic too much.

Remove the anonymous function. Quite simple. If there is overwhelming feedback to put it back, then likewise.

what about making a website that publishes all vandalism votesheets, including who sent them? if no one looks at it, just delete it again. quite simple.

I don't mind doing that at all. But I haven't had anyone request it until now. If I receive further feedback of the same nature I will put it online (unlike some individuals I am willing to implement new ideas or change existing ones, e.g. an expanded "Credit" section in Vandalism that was suggested to me by an avid reader).

Regarding ANONYMOUS VOTING on CSDb. It has been suggested on numerous occasions by many people that it would nice to remove the anonymous feature.

Technically impossible? Trial it!

keep the anonymous voting... there is a reason for it, and there also are reasons to have anonymous voting @ compos. simple as that ;-)

ok, if you want to kill the scene with a big explosion, then make them visible.

when i was voting visible, i had to deal with someone at breakpoint 2007 who didnt like that i voted a honest 5 on his latest tune. he was not amused, and so was i about having endless conversations about how i vote.
so i will always keep my votes hidden - no matter if ppl like it or not. and thats not because i want to downvote anyone.

and i dont see that most ppl @ csdb want to have the anonymous voting killed. just have a look - and find out, that most votes are anonymous. there must be a reason for that... yes... ppl prefer it that way, otherwise they wouldnt vote hidden.

so...

whatever. this was the last time i give my 2cents about this for some time - because theres too many threads about this...
