Votes
Why do some of you hide your votes? HMM? this makes no sense. And stop downvoting people just because you do not like them.
This database is supposed to be accurate, not a place for you to continue with your stupid grudges and scene wars.
a note to perff: since Secret Man, WDR etc have been deleted from this, I think you should also remove all their votes.
and get rid of this hidden voting, if people cannot publicy stand by their vote choices, then they shouldn't be voting at all.

I am always hiding my votes. And really, there is nothing unique new with that. Most of scene-voting was hidden to the public in all the disc-magazines.
The votes that are not published in VN can go on anonymous and besides, why should I or someone else have to justify our every damn move here?
By voting anonymously I make a lot of secret connections throughout CSDB releases which by now have grown to three thousand ones. I can switch on some high points no one of you ever will know where they came from.
Think of that next time you happen to wonder how come one of your releases had a 9 in average, after all that could very well have been with the help of my voting. So what is the big deal anyway?
It is just some bonus, hidden and like the toothferry-presents you found under the pillow, if you happened to have some friendly parents who really let you believe in the crap.
Id say 7-10 is a high voting, 5 is in the mid and below that = below average. There are a lot of stuff that will fall under the low voting of 4-6 for some typical rasterdemo. 7-10 for a typical State of the art picture or demo. 1 for utter crap.

E.S. you are opinionated person and still from all your votes only 4% mark the "utter crap" status. I don't doubt that majority of them were well deserved. But I'm afreaid that you are more like exception than average responsible voter. |

After a friend of mine deleted my profile my votes (all positive, thanks to all voters) were gone.
Know your names..
:)
Thanks for the positive feedback after the fake releases also.. Never saw them, hehe..
Today i found out that i don't need to see the charts in the right corner. I removed them.. ;)
I don't need a vote system here !
Take a look in the comments and you see if a demo or the stuff is worth downloading it. Read the texts of the CSDB users and you know if this is a cool dude or what..
At last contact him to find out..

I just see a bunch of lame excuses why people don't vote public.
"I don't want to justify my votes" and shit like that, what a load of bull.
Please don't be a such a god damn spineless jellyfish.
It should be mandatory for voters to leave a comment, why they do or do not like the person/production.
Its totally OK to have an opinion, and its totally ok to not like everything and everybody.

A anonymous voter is much like someone sneaking up to a billboard and spraying something on it in the middle of the night (I'm not talking graffiti here).
It has no real relevance and amounts to not much more than a act of vandalism.
If all votes were public and a comment would be mandatory to state your opinion, the general quality of the votes would rise. The total amount of given votes might fall, but those lost would be useless background noise anyhow.
If you cant stick up for your opinion and you're to lazy to write at least 1 or 2 lines of what your vote means, then frankly, it doesn't mean shit.

I agree with ED's point on why *he* hides votes, but as for the others hiding?
I got a real chuckle from Stainless Steel:
"If you cant stick up for your opinion and you're to lazy to write at least 1 or 2 lines of what your vote means, then frankly, it doesn't mean shit."
Captures my feeling in one sentence. :)

I agree it should be mandatory in order to be able to vote,so no comment and your vote isn't registered,coz its vital to know why you voted the way you did. Make a comment and your vote counts! :)
However hidden votes are the Democratic way of doing things so why would you want to make them public? This I think would just open another Pandoras Box of extra problems for the admin. Votes in mags (at least the ones we released) never had who voted for what,and rightly so.It was chore to do the votes and Im happy to say that Stryyker got that job for TBG most of the time.
If I vote for something that I think is worth a 6,then nothing will make me vote it as a 10 or any other number other than a 6,whats the big deal with people voting as they want to......... :( lol |

It ain't about the people voting honestly what they think, be it a 3 or a 10 or a 1.
Just make a stand and let the person know why you cast your vote the way you do.
Seriously, a anonymous vote is just not having the balls to stand in for your opinion.
Its nothing less than a hit and run move.
Whine all you want, anonymous voting is just lame.
And please don't start singing songs of democracy about anonymous voting, this ain't the presidential elections 2008.
Anonymous voting has just as many drawbacks, it invites every prick and his dog to deface a productions voting just because he doesn't like the authors hair colour. Fuck that.
If you want to assrape me, then I at least want to know who you are and I want to read a statement about what you dislike about my shit.
Vice versa, if you like my stuff and give a reasonable voting then I want to know what you liked about it and who you are.
This is the CSDb, not the AA or the KKK.
We shouldn't need to hide ourselves or our opinions.

great ideas here, make votes public AND make an additional comment mandatory! that will surely increase the amounts of votes!
i really wonder what will happen when votes are public, and the results would not change at all (because well, they won't). no way it will only lead to more crap and more flames, nononono thats not possibly an option because not only everyone can stand for his votes - also everyone can deal with someone voting differently than he expected!
(wohohoho it took 5 people to vote trail mix to #1 before DEM! GAWD i can't express how seriously meaningful these charts are to me!) |
