"That would just make it even easier for people to vote 0 stars for the people they dislike. "
that hardly ever happens, those that do seem to do it regardless. It would mean more people could vote 0 stars who actually think the game deserves it!.. which is a good thing.
"you can already do that by making a rating post, and deleting it. "
but wouldnt that mean i can not make any comments after that or it would show my vote. (btw i personally would vote how i really felt regardless of whether people saw it or not)
Well now that the top downloads are no longer based on people's ratings and the overall star rating is no longer shown, I don't think there is any reason for admins to remove 0 star votes. Course, there is no longer a reason to vote 0 stars on something just to bring the rating down.
Anonymous voting would end up thoroughly screwing it up... like with the articles. I mean seriously now, I know some articles are not useful to the experienced kliker, but do most articles really deserve to get below 3 stars? 0.7 stars? Damn, TDCers can be so mean.
I'd prefer it if votes were anonymous, but only visible to admins, like with the articles That way, people could vote what they think the game deserved, but be reluctant to downvote something for the sake of downvoting, like what the old downloads rating system did.

I don't comprehend requests for anonymous voting. Really. This system works. Your opinions should be public. Why do you want to hide them?
My only problem is 5 stars rating. I would prefer 10 stars ratings. At least then we would see more 8/10 and 9/10 ratings, instead of so many inane 5/5 ratings for games that don't deserve it.
For the past month I was more annoyed with devs and fan boys moaping about people giving honest ratings, than with the actual downrating (what a stupid term).
A quite fair chunk of MMF developers need a reality check and get out of their Daily Click box. 1 hour dev games suck. Period.

There doesn't seem to be a guide on what the ratings are for, So you can forgive someone for rating a game 5 stars because they think it's pretty good. I take everything into account myself, but really no matter what you do 5 stars is terribly inaccurate.
I'd say you'd have to forgive someone who rates a game 0 stars because he thinks it's not worth the time downloading. But for some reason people take great offense at that.

The problem is people assume voting 0 means doing it to ruin a game's overall rating. Of course that is the reason in a lot of cases, but now people are going to accuse all users who rate 0 of 'downvoting'

That wasn't the case. I was unable to download because it was hosted on a shit hosting service that kept throwing "currently unavailable" messages every time I tried.
- Ok, you must admit that was the most creative cussing this site have ever seen -
