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. |

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. |

anonymous voting can only ever be a problem for those who think they feel better if they can complain and/or take revenge on whoever voted something they dont agree with. ie: butthurt. |

If you have a voting system, it might as well be fair.
Heres a suggestion.
In some sports the best and the worst grade is removed, and then the score is based on the average of the last 3-4 judges.
Maybe if the system took out the worst and best 10%, alot of crap would be filtered out. Eg. Deus Ex Machina and Andropolis has a few severe downvoters.. No mentally healthy people would rate them a 1/10...
Best regards, Glasnost |
