The Recluse Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 As far as I can tell the voting serves absolutely no purpose, there's no reason for it whatsoever. So who really cares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seminal Inhalation Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 They serve no purpose and only encourage blind voting. Make it so you can only vote when you view the suggestion. and i'll gib u hugz n stuf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Radiated Banana Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 i only agree to this. But there are quite a bit of suggestors that suggest so they get better belts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of responses to this very statement that completely disprove the statement. Please, seek out one of these responses before someone has to make another one.

TheTruth Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Why not have them fill out a quick questionnaire to prove that they read the suggestion. Example:"How much proof was provided by the suggestion poster?" "Did the suggestion poster disprove unsolds at the higher end, or did the suggestion poster merely show people selling for lower than the higher end?"

So, if it's a new month and I downvote a proofless suggestion, but someone comes along and provides proof and it gets accepted, would I be banned from voting for the month assuming I didn't vote on any other suggestion?

knavesmith Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 that never happened since bp.tf was created. http://backpack.tf/vote/id/533dd1394dd7b82e278b4785 - Suggestion barely had any proof for high end until Polar came and saved the suggestion.http://backpack.tf/vote/id/537781474dd7b8506c8b47c5 - Originally did not have any sales. Suggester added in sales later on. Suggestion got accepted http://backpack.tf/vote/id/53c3e26d4cd7b8dd4c8b4568 - By far the best example. No valid proof whatsoever. Someone comes and provides proof. Gets accepted 7 hours later. This kind of stuff also brought up this suggestion, but that's irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utsoob Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Why not just hide the suggester and belt until the suggestion is accepted or closed? That way its a full neutral vote, so no matter who does it, they would be seen as a new suggester, and have their suggestions be read thoroughly and with less bias to downvote a whitebelt without reading the actual proof. This would also help cut out certain voter bias for d0 and other traders with their "X IS A Y BELT UPBOAT TO THE NILE" type of blindvoting.

(shout out to face for the idea) What about if you removed the name of the suggestor from the front page? I would prefer that to this, actually.

(shout out to face for the idea) I don't necessarily disagree with what you're suggesting but it doesn't really have anything to do with what this topic was originally here for. Mainly to prevent random people from just voting on stuff when they have no clue how suggestions are actually supposed to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utsoob Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 *Post about posts* Sorry I didn't read the first initial posts. I thought this was original. I don't necessarily disagree with what you're suggesting but it doesn't really have anything to do with what this topic was originally here for. Mainly to prevent random people from just voting on stuff when they have no clue how suggestions are actually supposed to look. Well its not removing voting from the front page though. Its just removing the user and belt from the suggestor's box, in order to stop bias voting like "Oh d0 made a suggestion gotta upboat that for rep".

Tobiased Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I think the presence of the vote buttons on the main page and list views in the voting section encourages people to vote without examining a suggestion. We should remove those buttons; that way people have to actually click on a suggestion to vote on it. Thoughts? Make it only a moderator option or something?
