I have a question about animes that you started to watch and will not finish to watch.
Right now I have one anime that I seen a couple of episodes of and I didn't like it. So I won't see the anime to the end, and I put a temporary vote on it. But I don't like a anime to be in my Temp vote list because in my opinion the Temp list is just for animes that you are watching right now and haven't finished(and you will).
So I'm asking what to do with this anime still have it as a Temp vote or move it to Perm vote, even if that's wrong(because you haven't seen all Eps).

Perhaps I should post in the "Feature Request" forum about a new feature that you can check a box if you won't finish the anime? So it stands for example on the specific anime page that "6 users will not finish watching this anime"

That would be an interresting feature. I myself leave the series on temp if I've seen less than 50% of it, and move them to permanent vote if i've seen more than half.

Well, I put them on blacklist and remove any vote I did for them.
Don't know if it would be useful to have another kind of vote or what you propose. :/
But it might be useful for people to know how much people dropped it. It could be an interesting number to know.

If you remove your vote, your vote will not be used for the anime hint as a reference guide. For the hint to work well it needs to know your likes AND dislikes....

As far as permanent versus temporary, technically you are not supposed to put a permanent vote unless you have watched the whole thing, but if you have watched most of it then you may have seen enough to suit your tastes and a permanent vote may be appropriate. The rule is to keep people from just watching one episode (or without watching, just based on information that they have heard or read) and then put in a permanent vote of 1 or 10.

In the hint your temporary votes are considered when comparing against other users to find "similar" users, but the other users temporaries are NOT used at all. A permanent vote would affect OTHER users hints. I would caution against using really low votes (1 or 2) unless you really thought the anime was BAD, if you just were not interested then just give it a 3-5 score depending on how it fits in with your other votes.

I don't use the hint system as it wasn't useful before I started to do they way I do now, and I don't care about such statistical analysis of my tastes (because they can't be put in numbers).
