Accused for being a DOWNVOTER

The point is that I use the whole rating possibilities (1-10), while it seems that other people get this when they are going to vote:

I must agree with Sparco here: His voting system is what everyone's should be. But what's happening is that people who vote like him get accused of downvoting.
With the !everbody vote a 10! thing what happened is that there's way too much cars with a rating of 9+. Cars that don't deserve scores like that (10 means best and you can't have 10% of best cars).

Everybody should use the whole specter of votes, not like Dragster who votes really bad cars with a 7.

We're seriously thinking of removing the "see who voted" option. I think people are actually afraid to vote what they think the car looks like because if they vote low, they'll be accused of downvoting and probably someone will even retaliate.

Oh please do so Bojan, because I'm not the only one who's tired of these "stuff", I'm sure there're others who are getting pretty sick with this.

I didnÂ´t say SPARCO way of voting is wrong(is perfect to me),I say other people has his own way,cause all are different.

BOJAN: donÂ´t remove see who voted option.
I always make some controversial coments, but IÂ´ll say it anyway(remember,I donÂ´t vote).The guest voting can be eliminated.If you care about this community and the site, you can sign in.A guest can enter only once and destroy some good car reputation hidden as a guest and never more visit us.ThatÂ´s not fair IMO.
More, when some user put a vote, it has to be an obligation to put a coment to see why that way of voting.It can be more clear to all.This can be aplly to showroom,vinyls and challenges.

Remember, this are MY opinions only and you donÂ´t have to agree.But I want to hear what you think.

Well now that the 'see who voted' thing is removed, I have to say I feel more 'free' to vote what I want.
Hope everybody feel the same

I'm with you, Dani...

although every body is whining about it... I think it is a good thing!
this way people will vote more fair..
cause of a few simple reasons!:
1 alot of people vote a 9 or a 10 cause they are affraid to be called downvoters if they rate a car a six.. while they don't think the car is that perfect!
2 we can more easely check UPvoting this way!
3 and now we hope the really good cars reach the top not the cars form makers with the most frieds!!

Gotta agree with Stig on point no. 1... People always think they're ALWAYS perfect when actually, they're a complete opposite.

Pedalo:

see why that way of voting.It can be more clear to all.This can be aplly to showroom,
vinyls and challenges.

I have to agree with this - i dont care if i get a 1 from a user , but i think that everyone
has to know why he has got this vote and not a better - and, if the users only vote, and
not comment, how can a user make a better version of his cars ????

Of course, the one who voted , dont have to write the vote, but can write what he dont like.

I know, i know - almost every user has another opinion,the one dislikes the spoiler, the
other maybe the decals - but the most users agree in one thing, and commenting would
eliminate these mistake in the next car. I have to say that i dont even like geting a 9
without comment.

What I think we should do is if a user wants to rate a car first he has to give a comment and then he will be allowed to vote but there shouldn't be a vote option except for guests before then. But that's what I think because that way you have to put a comment to vote and the person knows what you don't like about their car. Hopefully everyone gets what I'm saying. the other thing that is odd is that all the admins get to look at the votes and what they are and who made them everyone else doesn't they just see their ranking go from 10 to 200 instantaneously. I have to say that I don't like getting a vote at all without a comment because if someone comments on your car they're telling you whether or not they like or dislike your car and why so that you can keep it the way it is or change it so that they like it.

As said many times, if we do that, what's gonna stop people from posting a comment like "Good car, 10" and voting it a 5.

Then they will have lied and are downvoters and should be kicked off for lying downvoting and cheating

1. Voting a 5 isn't downvoting.
2. If we start kicking people for lying, then we should kick everyone.
