Transparent votes?
There's been a lot of "discussion" in the one-liner box about whether voting should be transparent, i.e. you can see who voted (and their vote's value).
I feel that things should stay as they are, just the number of votes and "weighted" vote shown for each entry. That would save all the arguments "why did you vote low for me?" or "he/she is a lamer, they voted low for me/my release"
What do others think? |

Stryyker, I'm not against people not sharing my opinion, I'm against people telling me I should stop sharing my opinion. There's a huge difference there. I'm fed up with people always saying "stop wasting time, do some c64 stuff instead". I paid my dues and if I want to spend the rest of my life talking about it, that's my choice. I don't force others to join me, all I ask is that if you don't care, just leave me alone. It's that simple.
So please don't try making me look like the bad guy, while I am defending, amongst others, you as well. Read before you write. |

I do like to know what others think. It isn't too much different to diskmag charts. Only a small number know who voted for what and what they give.
I think too much of an issue is being made of these votes.
How about we pool some money together so everyone registered needs to have a number of lie detector tests? And then it will not be perfect.
Transparent votes reduces the rights of many, believing they have of free speeach. Everyone being able to interrogate votes reduces their freedom. Some don't want to offend people or upset them so they can give them what they honestly think.
This reminds me of the US presidential elections. Nothing will satisfy the public about who wins and flawed voting.
Free speech for anonyms??? ;-))) Isn't free speech about being able to speak out and not being punished for that? |

I agree with Stryyker. Some persons will take advantage of being able to see who voted for who and how he voted, and so to give bad critics to some persons about why they have such an opinion about that and so... And many persons don't like to be annoyed by such persons who like to slag on others who don't share the same mind as them.

do some personal option, like anonymous votes are show/count yes/no or something like that.. so everybody can decide for him/herself...

Everybody was looking for a solution about these votes being transparent or not. Slator has the best solution at the moment, a solution which doesn't harm anybody. I support Slator's solution and I think this is also easy to arrange by Perff.

I don't think anyone would be so foolish to whine about downvotes by real sceners while many of us don't feel like accepting the fact that someone can hide behind anonymity and freely manipulate the charts. That *is* harmful! |

tdj: I can see this post becoming a big "fuck you" thread as opposed to what should be done with the voting system, chances are this sort of topic will be around for another decade. There is nothing of importance to be gained from this thread, just as there was no importance about the chart cheating that went on 10-15 years ago. It's a lost cause and people are always going to fuck the voting standards. You don't think there won't be another secret man in the shadows? Thinking he was the best ever and will create numerous accounts to fuck up voting. If you are doing stuff on c64 for fame today you're a dead man and probably should go tryout for those superstar idol tv shows.
Bayliss gave me a 1 as musician, it's not like i'm bothered by it, he maybe has heard one tune from me and none that i spread around the local board scene in the late 80's. I'm a big fan of your work and we are all glad you put your time in so long ago but don't expect everyone to bend over for you because you did some cool shit a long time ago. As they say in Hollywood, what have you done for me lately?
Oswald: of course, idle hands are tools of the devil.
Vip: the fact you thought of that really scares me bro :)
Slator: Hello, nice that you pulled yourself away from the bbq :) now pass me some hairy schnitzel :)
Stryyker: Brad Hogg is God! :) also, hello :) we are the ruler and fear be in the heart of all warrior of the underwear
quite simply.. fuck it. |

bah, how pathetic. votes should be anonym - downvoters or not - it'll still be much more "real" charts than showed anywhere else before (mags etc).
and no, i dont have a problem with beeing recognized as the responsible person for downvoting - look at my damned vote history if you care :=P |
