Ok, apparently there are few people who are up-voting all submissions. I’m one of them. I’ll admit it’s a little boring, but it does make me feel a little better. Who else does it?
And if you are a mbumive down-voter, I suppose there’s not point in asking to admit you are. Whatever. |

I used to try and pay attention, pick the best posts to upvote, downvote the dumb ones. But that takes too much time. I think the number of votes allowed should be limited, like 10x your # of submissions for that round. |

I usually vote up a lot and down a little, based on how I feel. This time around I’ve decided to upvote every last entry, for lulz. |

i pbum on anything that doesn’t elicit a strong reaction, vote accordingly otherwise. |

Since I don’t know what the selection criteria for submissions is, I suspect global upvoting might just be 1/5 of a chocolate for every submission and a little good feeling…except now everyone knows you’re doing it, so mentally they’ll knock off a vote.
I figure as long as i’m going through and clicking lots of tiny bumons I might as well try to make the game more to my liking and reward funny people. Now if there were an upvote script… |

Since chocolate scoops will come from INCIT soon, there’s not going to be a reason for upvoting (or downvoting) for much longer. Arktor edited this message on 04/22/2008 8:54PM |

I upvote everything that looks like it had some effort put into it, and is at least somewhat original. I pbum most other things, and only downvote the really lame ones (cheap ripoffs of other ideas and the like). |

I vote based on what I like. I will be playing the forum, and it would be nice if it had a good look to it and has good content. I hate to downvote though, so I’m just pbuming on everything that I’m “eh” on and just downvoting the terrible stuff. On the other hand, some submissions are so awesome I wish there was an option to upvote something twice (maybe a limit of 10 per round?) |

Lately it’s been kinda… eh, not great. People downvote so much that forums end up having repeat threads now. Much more frequently. |

I have decided to cancel out both the upvoters and downvoters by pbuming everything.
I think one of the problems with forumbuildr is that new forums come and go so quickly, which burns people out really fast. :/ |

I would really like to see a voting limit based on forumbuildr score. I try to upvote more than downvote, but in some categories it is really difficult. |

It takes me about 10 minutes to do all my submissions. I used to take time and effort and think them out, considering every detail. I always got downvoted. SO I just type random very special bull**** and the chocolate scoops pour in. Seriously. I got a bunch of votes for Rick_Astley last time. *sigh* |

The way I see it my random upvoting isn’t going to let bad submissions in. You see, all it does is cancel out one MMDV (mbumive multi down-voter). Now it’s up to the person who judges fairly. If it’s bad it gets another downvote- rightfully. Of course there are more than one MMDV so that submission will go down again anyway. They outweigh the MMUV (figure it out) so it’s just offsetting it a just a little. What does this amount too? It gives the submissions a little more time to get seen by a fair judge. And it might just pull out ahead. |

I vote up for most, and don’t vote if I don’t get it. Occasionally I come across something like “4clanlolzors” and vote down, but not very often. |
