That's how it looks to me! If a user has ever thumbs downed a deal, it will show up in their dislikes tab. Ditto for thumbs uping a deal. TR was just trying to confuse me, that crafty guy!

we still rely on MA's to help police the boards.. and will never discipline people for validly using the ma system. "This guy's walking down the street when he falls in a hole.
"A doctor passes by and the guy shouts 'Hey you. Can you help me?' The doctor writes a prescription, throws it down in the hole. "Then a priest comes along and the guy shouts up. The priest writes out a prayer, throws it down in the hole. "Then a friend walks by. The friend jumps in the hole. Our guy says, 'Are you stupid? Now we're both down here.' The friend says, 'Yeah, but I've been down here before and I know the way out.'" |

Is there a way to modify what other people see? I personally don't wouldn't want my thumbs up or thumbs down page to be viewed by other people. Call me paranoid, but people can learn a lot about someone else when they see the list of things you thumbs up or down. Personally, I thumbs up things that are of interest to me. If it doesn't pertain to me, I don't click into the link and therefore don't give it a thumbs up or thumbs down.
Therefore, with people knowing what I thumbs up and down, they basically know what types of things I am into. I don't want strangers to know that my interests are. |

I simply vote only thumbs up for threads that have a number 8 in the title and the color blue somewhere in the offer description, and I never rep anyone who has less than three vowels and four consonants in their user name or resides in Oklahoma. Most important of all, I also never vote on Thursdays or the 15th of any month, as that's always a dead giveaway that you're a genius, or maybe just Jewish and over 40. So far though, you're the only one who's guessed who I really am, so things aren't always as obvious as they seem. It takes a formidable adversary to decipher all the hidden clues held in one's voting and rep history, but I would suggest to everyone that they TREAD CAREFULLY when it comes to voting or repping. Your personal information is at stake.

1. As people mentioned, a lot of people only thumbs up and thumbs down on the things they are interested in. So you can easily tell if the user is male or female from that. 2. You may be able tell if they are kids if they only thumbs up and down on toys and kids stuff, etc. Which is definitely a privacy concerns. So what's the reason to have this voting history anyway?? If this is for thumbs down abuse, then this is not going to help. Let me just give some negative affect. 1. This may change people behavior in a bad way. People may start randomly thumbs up deal and thumbs down deal to avoid the privacy issue without knowing the deal is actually good and bad. BAD BAD idea and this will eventually happen!!! 2. To get around letting people know you intentionally thumb down good deal, you can just find 100 bad deals and thumbs down on those. That in your voting history, in the "Deals I Dislike', you will have 100 thumbs down that looks totally valid. So a few 'bad' thumbs down out of 100 not that bad right?? Pretty much people can avoid the abuse issue with that. Because thumbs down history is NOT going to help the abuse issue (people can easily get around this). And it caused big privacy concerns, it should be allowed to turn it off for privacy reason. Last edited by MozartA; 08-23-2007 at 01:44 PM.. |

But again, if you read my whole post, this is just part of the result why it is bad from my original post. I think the intention is good (try to do something about abuse thumbs down). But there is no reason for this voting history because, one, there is insignificant amount of people abusing the thumbs down so thumbs down abuse is not really an issue. And as mentioned, going to cause privacy problem for those don't know about this voting history. Or bad behavior (just random thumbs up/ thumbs down) for those that know about this voting history. And those abuser that know about this voting history can easily get around it and still abuse the thumbs down without causing people to think they are abuser (again, one bad thumbs down out of 100 is not that bad right?). And there are reasons why our election voting record are private. Just because few people write in 'Donald Duck' as their president (Just like the insignificant amount of people abusing the thumbs down), doesn't make it good idea to let the our voting record public. This is the same. It will just slowly affect SD overall in a bad way. The effect of showing history of voting record is worse than the impact of 'thumbs down' abuser.
