Random topic closures
"Adam summed things up nicely and now another pointless thread about voting at CSDb comes to a close.
(read: Things aren't going to change)"
I am tired too about that topic, but just because *you* dont like it, its no reason to close it. This moderator function is abused way too much. |

In light of the above results and statistics, I hereby propose that we change the system so that it displays the real mean...!
Seriously though, at the end of the day, I think reputation - while impossible to measure - is the most important thing rather than scores on individual releases; the most accomplished sceners will always be the best remembered and the most respected in general. People downvoting out of jealousy or tactics or whatever - surely this is just the ugly flipside of respect. I know I'm new-ish on here so my opinion might not carry very much weight, but I think we probably can just rise above this issue. |

Of course I have also witnessed quite funny CSDb algo results after casting a vote.
But although only little above a dozen people voted for PETSCII compo 2017, I found neither meaningful nor even scandalous divergence of final results from CSDb results. So if Mr Ammo's comparison of Nonstandard voting with CSDb proves anything, then probably that there is rather less reason for drama than some think.
PS: After the BCC#12 voting drama, I was glad we've got CSDb voting to show ranks in a more realistic light ;) |

I'll dig out this old thread to give me 2 cents. I think 1-10 scale doesn't make much sence here. I noticed that you rarely get votes below 6 (I don't think I ever got any). And 6-10 can be considered an upvote. If someone doesn't like your prod he's more likely to not vote at all, maybe leave a comment saying it sucks, but that's it. Just a thumbs up/down would work really well here I think.
As for anonymous votes. I think they should be allowed, but only accounts with 1-3 (Arbitrary number here) releases / credits can vote. To get an account here you need to write a reason for it so I doubt there's a lot of sock accounts that are just vote bombing, but I get that impression from reading these threads.
Also, I've seen the word harassment in these threads. It's hysterical. Bunch of old dudes whining about mean words.
If you think someone disrespects you or your work how about you tell them to fuck of ? I feel so weird here. |

So the topic here is "random topic closures" and the link is showing a somewhat random one. Using 7z around here might be the most stupid idea ever, still it's hard to define off-topic in a board labelled "general discussion", especially if the discussed topic can be linked to CSDb itself.
I personally don't care about this topic at all, but still, Oswald has a point. |
