Re:Re: Vote -5 to +5QuoteI think there should be no limit, but the "weight" of your vote should think "I wont tell CG if I want that or not because it might affect the decisions of my other voted reports". I'd prefer to be able to tell you as much as I like. {smallsort} |

Nick,
| Voting is pretty broken as well. There simply aren't enough votes to | go around for the real feelings of the community to be seen. The | votes to reports ratio is very unfavorable. I think that users ought | to have, say, 100 votes, and a five vote max on any report. Maybe 500 | votes, with the same max. | | I have no idea why we try so desparately to limit the amount of | feedback that our customers give us. Hear, hear!!! NONE of the present "scheme" makes any sense at all to me!!! -- Q 10/04/2007 09:52:15 XanaNews Version 1.17.5.7 [Q's salutation mod] |

That's extremely useful information, and it's exactly the kind of information that QC should be collecting for CodeGear. Without some kind of limit or weighting, there's no way to distinguish your 1 vote on a report and only that report from some other guy's vote on that report and 50 other reports. They're all just votes. -- Gillmer J. Derge [TeamB] |
