How?The fact that the suggestion was downvoted (it doesnβt show that way because I upvoted it) also lends credence to the fact that itβs simply too easy to abuse the votes for petty political or personal reasons.
By demonstrating that anyone with a grudge against Char can anonymously torpedo the proposal with the press of a button.How?
Iβm personally in favor of making voting transparent by requiring that names be attached to votes, but what about those that wish to remain anonymous? I donβt think the forum software supports βmixedβ - where votes can be transparent or anonymous - voting β¦If it helps, I downvoted it because I disagree with the motion to remove the downvote - nothing to do with who made it or why. Either leave it as is, or remove the voting system entirely and require people to post their vote.
This would be a lot easier if the score said "6 up, 5 down" instead of just the total of 1, for example. That way you could tell ignored suggestions from highly controversial ones.
We could do this with some sort of mod but also it occurs to me we could just use the forum's poll option. However then the poster has to remember to set it up, instead of it being automatically added like the current system.I think we should try that if possible. A controversial suggestion and a ignored suggestion are two entirely different beasts.
What's I&S? Not trying to be rude or cause drama, just curious, as I don't remember anything major or recent that goes by that acronym.The reddit style up/down system seems fine to me in all cases except for polls with multiple options. As a feeler for community sentiment on changes up/down is fine, and has never really been binding. I&S as well as negatively downvoted NTSE submissions have been implemented in the past, for example. Seems to be working like Wes' intentions stated in this thread.
For things like premier election, ooc awards, player of the month (if it were a public vote), and similar polls then it should only be upvotes because it's a form of ballot. And you don't get to downvote what you don't like on ballots, only cast a vote for what you do like.
