Title: You can see who upvoted/downvoted you
Post by: Jorge D. Fuentes on June 13, 2013, 08:36:18 AM
I hope it doesn't create ABSOLUTE CHAOS in the board.
This is an experiment.


Also, I recounted the post totals, to make sure everyone's numbers are on the up and up.


A am noticing that people seem to have 'buddies' who have gone back pages and pages just to upvote them, even if the post was rather trivial.
Is that really necessary, guys?

Actually, I think this is a good idea, since people will now think twice before voting.
Also, no more downvote-bombing because you can get away with it.

Exactly. Thus leading to uniform voting habits. People won't really vote what the want, because they don't want to get the stink eye.

I think this is also a good idea. I'd rather see the Perps who downvoted who rather then having them hide in the shadows like cowardly dogs. In all seriousness if said individuals can't openly come out and admit their actions then they're a bunch of immature school kids with nothing better to do except be an ass. And those asses were made for kicking.

I that case the voting system should be removed for everyones' benefit. But if we intend to hold onto the voting system then absolute transparency is mandatory.

Well, if they think it's the right thing to do, then they shouldn't be afraid anyway.
Point is, people will be voting with reason now. I think it's a better option than letting them run around and vote arbitrarily.

EDIT: Uh, Jorge? I tried going back to one of my older posts to see who voted on it, but everything looks the same. No voters, score only.

I'll be honest, I just upvote posts from a lot of people cause I love them...and I love everybody *_*

Seriously though, I don't think this is a great idea. If people can see who downvoted them, it might lead to grudges, bad feelings, and that sort of thing. At least anonymity does something to ward off that bad stuff.
Title: Re: You can see who upvoted/downvoted you
Post by: Pfil on June 13, 2013, 10:19:33 AM
To be honest, I'm used to upvote people I like, not in old posts, but in the posts I see every day (provided I like the posts, of course, which is generally the case).
And if they can see now who do it, I will continue to do it anyway. More than once I even publicly expressed "+1" to you. To Lelygax, Laina, Shiroi, Gaawa, and many others...
There's nothing to hide. I think it's a good idea.
Also, this will put a break to some unnecessary downvoting.
Title: Re: You can see who upvoted/downvoted you
Post by: Jorge D. Fuentes on June 13, 2013, 10:30:19 AM
I downvote people. :P
But I also upvote the same people if they say something good.  :D

This is why this is experimental.
If I see forum strife (one of the things that bug me the most), then I will look into ways of resetting the system (everyone gets Zero) and then change a few options around.

At this point I'm not so sure it's a good idea, which is why I'm only testing it out.

@VladCT - You will only see the dropdown if you're using a Javascript-enabled browser.  If you're viewing on a cellphone it may not work.

Post by: A-Yty on June 13, 2013, 11:32:36 AM
Well, if they think it's the right thing to do, then they shouldn't be afraid anyway.

People get pluses and minuses in a cumulative manner. Well liked people (mostly those who have been around enough) and the "authority" gets them more than anyone. It's more about the person posting than the post itself - most of the time.. If we'd really want more honest answers that are more about the posts, shouldn't we be getting rid of the "respect" number? That way it won't affect the person's reputation in such a public way.

And if someone wants to vent out by slapping minuses, isn't it better than spamming or whatever? You can always negate their work by upvoting the posts. I mean, I think that's kind of amusing. It's funny if you start getting downvotes and then you can guess who's doing it. If someone cares enough about the posts, it's like a virtual whodunnit. But instead of a murder, your rep number is being attacked. How exciting!  ;D

Not that this affects my life considerably. But IMO, this will lead to more boring results. Just sayin' etc.

This sounds like a discussion about REAL voting rights.

How can you see who voted? In your profile?

I'm a member of a small political movement and we take all our voting openly. But that's only because we can allow that, being a small movement and all. In a big organization, secrecy has its benefits.

It's true +1 to you this time . I'm kind of the opposite I do minus ones but only when it really matters but then there are other   times.

As for  my rep I kind of keep it like  a high score so it can be fun at times.  ;D

Agreeing with this ^^^

Imagine you vote down someone who you have had bad discussions with in the past.

That person will most likely make a big deal about "oh, your downvoting me just because you do not like me *insert member title here*".

The person making the vote will then most likely be drawn into a flame war situation.

All this really mostly does is make it more convenient for people to know exactly who to flame at when they get a downvote.


EDIT

Also, mind explaining how you can see this?

So far I haven't noticed a option to check and see who upvoted/downvoted your posts.
Title: Re: You can see who upvoted/downvoted you
Post by: Laina on June 13, 2013, 12:38:18 PM
I can see some good in this-like a previous poster said, maybe people will think twice before down-voting something, or it will curb emotion driven vote bombing. As a whole though, I'm not so sure this is such a good idea.

Not everyone's an open book-we all express opinions in private, it's an emotional well being necessity. Some people will always be apprehensive about voicing their opinions openly for various reasons; the anonymity thing lets people have that freedom without fear of repercussion, lets them "get it out". Of course that has a downside, which we already discussed (vote-bombing, petty vendettas, etc.), but I think the good of anonymity outweighs the bad. As A-Yty said, I feel this will lead to uniform voting, which will lead to resentment/discontent, OR, on the flip-side, possible calling out of "the offender" & then a flame war, and just general not-gonna-end-well-ness for the forum.

While I'm curious to see who up/down voted me I can also see where a possible issue of negative feelings could come from. However, if this is just an experiment I say we give it a shot.
Title: Re: You can see who upvoted/downvoted you
Post by: son_the_vampire on June 13, 2013, 01:26:37 PM
This is a good idea. I usually vote a lot on the well written posts. I can't recall really down voting but I'm sure it won't phase many members; just a semblance of ones opinion. I consider it somewhat of a refreshment for newer member like myself who enjoy chatting  :)
Title: Re: You can see who upvoted/downvoted you
Post by: A-Yty on June 13, 2013, 01:28:30 PM
I can give a prediction of the result of this experiment: it is pretty certain that there will be less negative votes.

If that is the desirable outcome, regardless of why that is so, then I suppose this experiment will be a success.
Title: Re: You can see who upvoted/downvoted you
Post by: DarkPrinceAlucard on June 13, 2013, 01:31:49 PM
While some may hold back on the negative votes the more strong willed people will still vote to their liking.

If I don't like a post or agree with it and feel the need to downvote it I will still do so.

If the person in question chooses to get mad and flame me than so be it.

I'm pretty sure there will be others like myself who will still vote to their liking and not be held back to by this, and I pretty much can already see the flame wars brewing.

I'll let it be known right now, that if I see someone 'calling someone out' as a response to a -1, I'm -1ing that person out of General Principle.

It's Javascript, not Java.

It's to the right of the Plus Sign.
If you do not see it, you might want to CTRL+F5 to fully-refresh the page.
If it's not there, don't know what to tell ya. ;)

If there are other people who do not see what I'm talking about, please let me know (should be available already), which might mean I may have to add a few permissions to membergroups (there's a chance only I can see it 'cuz of my Admin SemiPhenomenal Nearly-Cosmic Powers).

This is a way to show that things do not need to dissolve into stealth hate or sneaky upvoting. It's embarrassing. Just be open and honest. Air grievances and handle it like an adult.

Like now I know a certain poster has dinged me on almost all of my posts in recent history regardless of content or aim. Just come clean if you've got an issue. It could *gasp* actually be resolved. What a novel idea.

At another community I'm a part of, you can only +1, and you can see everyone who +1ed any post of anyone. (Chern knows what I'm talking about) No downvoting. It's handled pretty maturely, as if you don't like something you simple don't vote it up. I don't see why that can't be a similar approach that can be used here. No popularity contests. Just more thoughtful posting altogether.

Well no, see.  In order to have a clone do it, that clone would have to have at least 30 posts.  So you can't just clone willy-nilly.
Making duplicate accounts is frowned upon and I have called people out on it.  Some people with duplicate accounts have suspiciously higher respect values now, so at least with this transparency level, you can see if someone who never posts but is always upvoting someone else, may be someone on their tank.

However, I do not keep track of everyone's duplicates (because I'm not a babysitter, and because I'm not online all the time).
I expect some level of maturity.  I'm not sure I get it, but I expect it.  This isn't some dog and pony show here, folks.

Define necessary. :P

Actually this seems like an alright idea to me. Though it will discourage criticism, it might also discourage downvote bombing, and force people to articulate their criticisms of a statement rather than just downvoting. If they're going to speak up at all. I know I've just downvoted rather than articulate the problems I had with a post once, though I think it's relatively rare that I downvote.

I like it. Now when I get downvoted I can see if it's cuz Dave Cox's lapdogs got butthurt over a criticism of MS's games, or if IGA's sailor scouts got butthurt, or if it was just some weird that nobody gives a shit about. If it's someone I expected to downvote me, then what would I care? If it's someone I half-expected to support me, it might be enlightening and might open up conversations. It also lets you know who's reading your posts. I assume everyone reads my posts, but in my case it would be good because I could see who's actually interested in some of the threads I open, essentially knowing who my followers are, so to speak. I mean, like, who actually cares about my NES hacking or my quirky GM codes? I get upvotes but have no idea who actually likes what I post. This way I can know and possibly respond to them properly.

Well, now I have a better idea of who like me (luckily, it seems there's plenty, and I added you all to my friends list... you know who you are)  :)
And anyone who wants to be on my friends list, is welcomed to add me too. Maybe some users don't upvote, but they like me anyway.
I like lots of people here. Not from now, but from my very first days.
...and I also know who doesn't like me (luckily, there were just 2, so... Ignore, and problem solved).

On another note, I could find that most of my downvotes were when I said something negative about CoxVanias. Especially when I was new here.
I never went downvoting everyone that talked negatively about IgaVanias, but whatever, we are not all the same, the forum would be boring if we were all agreeing.
I must have done like 500 upvotings or more since I joined, almost always to people I like when they say something I like, but periodically, I also upvote any post I agree or find funny, cute or whatever.
Now everyone can see it... but I'll still do it.

And I'm also glad that now we are getting along just fine with people that (I see now) used to downvote me when I was new.

I agree with the idea of having only upvoting, anyway.
The disagreement should always be made with a text explaining why you don't like a post. It's not the same as a +1, because that's the same as saying that you agree.

Another solution could be to have no points at all, to just get rid of the respect system... but it's kinda fun to have a score, like in a game.

I love downvoting 'cos sometimes people are just real big asshats and I don't care if they see that I've given 'em a negative point.

But I've doled out downvotes maybe a handful of times.

So yeah, if the rating system stays, keep the option to give negative votes. I always lol when there's a real big turd on the board who has like negative two hundred points.

And I kinda like seeing who likes my posts. It gives me the warm fuzzies. But I won't be going back to old posts to see who did what; I don't even know which posts anyone liked or disliked.

Post by: uzo on June 14, 2013, 03:15:57 AM
This is a recipe for disaster. Let me go get some popcorn.

I'd like to have a report page to show me vote tallies per users who has voted on my posts for all of my posts combined too if possible. Something like:

user1 +22 -12
user2 +13 -11
user3 +5 -10
etc...

In addition, its more telling if perhaps posts had counts on + and -, instead of showing just the balance. I've had a few posts with "0" because 2 or 3 people voted on each side. That would show what posts are really interesting to people, but you'd never know unless you checked the voter list manually.

The curiosity is killing me! I want to know my biggest fans. Already I see some very interesting results on my posts.

Also, in total honesty, the up-vote only system with visible up-votes listed is really the best choice for civility and positivity. I don't care either way personally. The negative votes are interesting to see for me.
Title: Re: You can see who upvoted/downvoted you
Post by: Bloodreign on June 14, 2013, 03:23:44 AM
This could lead to flame wars, the likes which we've.....seen before. All over someone butt hurt because someone else multi downvoted their posts because they didn't agree with them. I can't gauge the maturity levels on the boards these days (there was a time it was bad, real bad), we'll see how mature people are. If I downvote you, I don't really need to explain why, I'm not killing you in anyway, nor is your everyday life affected. You'll live.  :P

There will be grudges because someone downvoted someone else, and they'll know exactly who it is. I like the way Sega 16 forums does it, there's no negative rep, but if you like someone's post you can message them via the rep system exactly why you voted their comment up. If you don't like their comment, live with it and move on as the negative rep had either been removed, or did not exist.

Lol, wow. I think crisis just went on a tiny -1 spree for my account a little while back. Some of these do not make any sense, or just seem like they're -1'd to offset a +1? Or maybe vice versa, I got +1's to offset some -1's? Even farther back it looks like I got a large +1 influx from crisis too, not undeservedly so though, so I guess everything evens out lol. Interesting to see how people think and act about one another when the veil of anonymity is up.

If I were worried about that, it wouldn't help me in any way to hope for this thing to go back the way it was. In a couple of days, everyone will know who "hates" them. Actually, if this is reversed eventually, it's likely the mystery downvotes will be attributed to those who voted the most down. If I, for example, suddenly started acting the opposite, someone could do me a prank me and "bomb" the shit out of you (or anyone else that has gotten negative votes from me).

So maybe Flame was right, this might lead to kind of hilarious results if more people start asking why they got so many negas from certain someones. This might cause more drama than worrying about mystery downvoters! (https://castlevaniadungeon.net/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.reactiongifs.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2011%2F05%2Ftumblr_ljh0puClWT1qfkt17.gif&hash=4aeda1b66a3288e393f03cae2e160faf)

And you don't have to do anything to get me to vote your post down. Except post.

This might cause more drama than worrying about mystery downvoters!

And you don't have to do anything to get me to vote your post down. Except post.
Suppose I were to shave my head. Would this warrant me a down vote as well?  :'( I mean it is getting hot again!

LOL but seriously, I don't recall, but I think you might've hurted me butt for whatever reason. Perhaps it was my fault, you prolly embarrassed me & called me out for saying something stupid like you usually do to those that deserve it.

There's another forum I go to that uses a similiar system and we haven't had any problems. 

Although I do like how they've laid it out a bit better. 

When you click to applaud or boo the post, another screen comes up asking you to explain why in a quick sentence or so. 

You can also click on your profile and have the options of seeing Who changed your karma and who's karma you've changed, which shows every single posts that's been ranked as well as why it was ranked that way.

I guess I'm a weird nobody gives a shit about :(

I down-voted you for choosing the only one of the three options that by way of choosing is a self-deprecating choice. I'm not down-voting because you're a weird -- that's what makes you special -- but because you took the option that says nobody cares about you. I'm sure somebody cares about you, so don't be so hard on yourself.

You have to use Nair and then buff it, I think. Never forget to exfoliate the scalp. Of course you could always just oil it. Get the sheen. If all else fails, get cancer and undergo Chemo.

It's not an illness, it's evolution gone awry. A lot of the deaths come from the treatments, which are about as bad as AIDS, if not worse. In an effort to eradicate mutant cells, the body's self-defense mechanism is destroyed along with the aberration. Unable to defend yourself against minor infections, you're more likely to die from complications arising from illnesses your body would have normally been able to cope with. So no, I wasn't mocking the illness, I was mocking the treatment. In the words of Dr. "Bones" McCoy:
