I completely forgot about those movies. One was ok, but now they are just milking drinking it.
Id personally love to see a Die Hard with Bruce Willis, perhaps Die Drunk in New York?

Chris has rolled out changes that mean that downvoting articles no longer requires a reason. I remain to be convinced that this is a step forwards.

It's funny, but I would go to the other way - ALL voting requires a comment...
Until now the voting problem was that someone could get a 'best' award for a cr*p article with enough members enlisted, now we will have to see to vengeance too...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

I agree, there is already enough downvoting for no reason in the other forums.
|

No one is hesitant to write "this is great" along with their name as a throw away comment. Far less are willing to say "this is not great" with their name associated with the comment. The imbalance would stay.

I think that being caught - even by yourself - on voting 5 for a plagirised, or otherwise banned article is an embarrassing moment...I do not think someone will do it twice, even for a friend...
However, I saw you post and understand your reasoning...And I hope it will make it better  !

I tend to agree, a downvote is communicating something and without a comment it is difficult to know what it is about an article that has been downvoted.
In other words how can you improve, if people criticising you are not giving their reasons for criticism?

This was specifically the motivation for adding comments. It didn't work out in practice though: for the few articles that were actually improved, many, many more crap articles floated to the top above them.

Thanks for letting me know that.

What is your reasoning behind this? (Feel free to just post a link if there's a discussion about that buried somewhere.)
Currently I think this will open the door for ill-motivated downvoting.

Eh? I'm confused. I have just said that I don't think this is a good idea and I haven't seen any arguments to convince me otherwise.

Oops. disregard.. reading failure on my part

It's probably at least partly my "fault".
The voting system as it were was broken.
My reasoning behind it can be seen here[^].
More on it here[^] and here[^]

Thank you for the link, Chris! I haven't been aware of your personal forum, so that's doubly helpful
