Why should they be forced to do that? Why do you need to know who they are? All you need to know is that there is a control system in place, and if their votes are fraudulent they will be eliminated.

ah, a secret cabal of poetry avengers.

Again try word substition (privacy - secrecy).

I would like to know who they are so I can get an idea of the validity of the vote, dipping into your form of sarcasm, what do you not understand about that?

The validity of the vote is the same as that of any other vote. It is one vote from one person. All you need to know is that if it isn't valid, it will be deleted.

Really? If I say something to piss somebody off,and then "one" I am given, I am supposed the same weight, credibility to someone that has taken time with a submission.

Why is this all I need to know?

Conspiracy theories abound !! Though I was thinking in terms of elitist snobs looking down on the uppity masses.

I'd be curious to hear what you think of the rough draft proposal I'm still thrashing out with the Vixxx. I left an earlier version at:

https://forum.literotica.com/showpost.php?p=13545401&postcount=242

Just seeking some positive input; trying to address some of the concerns I've seen reflected on these threads. Just aiming for a win-win situation here.

I don't know. Could you rephrase that in English, please?

Better?

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Better?

No, it still reads the same.

So, how do you know that some supposed trolls don't think the same way as you? How do you know they're trolls, and not simply people who have some free time and have taken on to them the task of re-ballancing the top lists by voting down poems they feel are not worthy?

there are two kinds of people in the world,
those helping hands and those who are a handfull
those who are positive and those who are negative...<grin>
those who praise others and inspire
and those who leave a destructive wake behind them

i tend to think the human condition is a bit more complex than that.

I seem to remember some threads, started by you over less than 5.

You're right. I just couldn't pass up the paint chip humor.

heaven to the right
heaven to the west
( depending on your point of view of course)

we can only take it in small doses, puritanical roots and all, if we are happy for too long we become convinced we are doing something sinful.

Do you want it black? Or white?

 

[annaswirls]

Yes

and sweet too

I might even mark it with a red H. Unless some troll comes along and blows on the surface

I am sorry Lauren, I didn't know...
most people see the world in color.
This explains your ......alot <grin>

like the fact that those that want the anon voting to stay in place
obviously use it, or why would you want to allow such a thing? Is there an
honorable way to be anonymous? The ninjas cloak in the dark to decieve. The only reason I could think 'lit' uses such a tool is more poeple will comment as somebody they are not? To get more pages open daily? This truely has been an elightening thread. It does show those who vote with inspiration and kindness and those who have riddled souls using the full spectrum and partial to anon voting. Funny but it basicly has shined a spot light on the troll mentality.

well it is simple really, you either do ...or you don't

I admit I haven't read the whole thread so somebody enlighten me, what is a good excuse for having anon voting? Was there at one time no anon voting and they saw a problem where they had to instill one, for a purpose?

I also notice those that don't post very often are happy with the anon voting system and those who post frequently do not, a pattern there as well?
