'My Votes' Seen By Other People [DONE]

Post by Ultima »

Is there a way to see what other ppl voted for an anime?... If there are ppl that you know have the same taste as you, it would be a better indication of that anime instead of just seeing the average of all the votes...

Thanks,

something like this is on the advanced anidb todo list.

the idea is to let the anidb compare your votes (per anime and per genre) to the votes of all other anidb users. And if there's a high resemblance with another user check if that user voted high for some anime which is not in your current mylist.
that would allow the anidb to make suggestions about what to watch/get next based on personal preferences.

however, this is quite expensive to implement and won't be done until we have a better host.

"People who liked this anime also enjoyed watching ..."

Be sure to not have amazon sue you ^^ - I'd really appreciate such a feature though. But maybe it'd need a more detailed voting-system just like for the reviews... hmm... I feel like doing another (little) REQ ;)

EDIT:
To avoid new-thread-spamming, I post my (related) reqs here.
> A "Make all votes anonymous"-option as maybe intended by the thread's author too.
> A checkbox to post anonymous reviews

It's more like features for those who fear being tracked down, but it should be in anyway :roll:

well about the voting based anime suggestion system, it will use review data too of course.

there is no need to make votes anonymous, bc for normal users they are.
the db stores who issued each vote but there is no way for anyone (except /me >=) to see that data.
and there won't be, ever.

even with the anime suggestion system you'll not see who voted for what or who's votes are the best match to your votes.
you'll just see the result => suggestions for animes.


I don't see why we should allow anonymous reviews. if you don't want yoru username to be listed there, simply don't post any reviews :P
