Why the hell does it matter? The numbers were meaningless anyways since they were fuzzed.

Actually, it's going to completely destroy voting in subreddits like /r/photoshopbattles, where they only take into account positive upvotes to determine a winner. Now people can be dicks and downvote a submission to have it lose.

Contest Mode hasn't been changed, and really should be used universally for polls like that (I don't browse photoshopbattles, but they should take a look at it) because it displays entries randomly rather than in sorted order.

[–]Evolutioneer 3 ポイント4 ポイント

I thought it was random so everyone had a fair chance of being at the top for times when a really great entry exists but took time and would otherwise have to compete with the already established top post.

[–]featherfooted 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Nope, totally random

EDIT: on second read I think your comment wasn't debating if Contest Mode was random, but rather why it was put into effect in the first place. For that, I don't know. I just know how it works.

They can always just hide/remove downvotes via css so that people that want to downvote would have a lot of work to do. Also, as a fix perhaps the admins can change it so that subreddit moderators can see the up/down vote counts.

[–]The-Mathematician 0 ポイント1 ポイント

You can just disable subreddit style. I do that all the time in subreddits that disallow downvoting or switch what an upvote and downvote do.

[–]Frekavichk 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Actually, no. Fuzzing only actually started to make things veer from fact after like 100 points.

Otherwise, it was close enough to the real vote count that it didn't matter. This is going to fuck over small subs big time.

.

Also, why the fuck would you try and counter people's problems with a change with 'Why does it matter?'

You should be asking "What positive aspects does this change have?" because if reddit keeps changing things for the sake of change, they are going to go the way of digg very soon.

It will be much easier to inject paid for posts into the front page if there are no vote counters I would think.

[–]schniggens 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Yeah, but you could still see the relative amounts of upvotes vs. downvotes. You could see if a comment was really popular or if it was relatively controversial. A comment with a score of 20 could have a 21/1 vote ratio or 200/180 vote ratio. That's a pretty big difference.

[–]Psythik -1 ポイント0 ポイント

Fuzzing only applies to submissions. Comments aren't fuzzed.

[–]macgyverrda 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Wrong

[–]the_omega99 0 ポイント1 ポイント

I'm pretty sure that's incorrect.

Of note, however, is that fuzzing doesn't kick in immediately. It doesn't start until something like 15 votes.

[–]Bramse -1 ポイント0 ポイント

The numbers weren't meaningless.

Fuzzing was only a small amount.

[–]InfanticideAquifer -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

Comment scores were never fuzzed, just posts.

This is the part where people endlessly complain about something new they don't like without giving any reason why. So far I have yet to read one reason why people hate it.
