@raghukamath, it is now displayed correctly. But I had, just to test it, extra topics from the Feature Requests section called AFTER I had cast the vote, so it should have been displayed there already.
I see, as always I’m too slow in writing and translating, but exact that is the point behind my question. What if I’ve exhausted my votes? I post my thoughts on this anyway. →→
So surely at some point you get to a point where only users who are new sign-ups have voting rights, as the longer active users will have used up their votes at some point?
Because over time I will vote for different topics and when they are used up and there is a new topic that I want to support, then I can no longer vote for it.
Can this be intentional, is this thought out?
You can, it’s a wish list that you will have to maintain for yourself. If you go to the Feature requests category and click on “My Votes”, you will see an overview of your votes.
So if there’s anything you like more than what you have currently voted for, that’s how you can place a vote on a new item, by removing an old item from your list.
E: We’ll have to wait and see how this develops, I suppose. I mean, if this becomes a problem where people can no longer vote at some point, @raghukamath may have to yearly increase the number of votes for Trust level 3 and up (long term forum users) to compensate.
Yeah, there isn’t much you can do as moderator other than pointing out that 1 request per topic is preferred. Perhaps, I think, you could do this in a pinned topic as well and reiterate the rules for feature requests. You could also link to the guide on krita.org for feature requests: Ways to Help Krita: Work on Feature Requests | Krita
Anyways, I think you’ve done a stellar job on this. Don’t have anything else to add
And precisely doing that or asking people to follow rule makes them annoyed and they think of me some one preaching them. They do not want to read it or think why such page is written in the first place. For people posting once it is okay but they don’t consider that if we give leeway to all the forum will be in chaos. We have rules made to keep the place tidy right? I can show you number of example where people have got angry when I say please don’t bump the topic or please don’t do this or that. What can I do. People like to shit where they eat. Sorry for the outburst I am a bit irritated on people assuming things and not following rules etc.
I just found out that it is no longer possible to love the topic of feature requests.
Whether or not to keep the hearts feature while voting exists, I think it would still be useful.
Since the number of votes is limited, it feels appropriate for a more important feature request.
What if a feature request get for example N votes, but the feature request have a such negative impact on Krita that maybe most of users aren’t really interested to see it implemented?
There’s not real possibility to downvote except put a comment that probably won’t be taken in account
Current maximum vote on a feature request is 16
Currently for what I see on statistics (at this time)
Last 24 hours
Last 7 days
Last 30 days
All Time
Users
28
171
866
17.8k
So basically -and a simple vision of things- 1.84% (16/866) of users in last 30 days voted for the most rated feature request…
I’m not sure how to interpret this:
Really don’t care about that?
Don’t want it?
On my side it’s more I don’t care for most feature requests (I even didn’t vote for my own feature request as I’m not convinced by the system), but current system is like vote YES or shut up
The voting system is a way to sort things. Developers may or may not take count into account when deviding things. If a feature which is detrimental to krita roadmap is voted at top it won’t be picked by the devs.
I understand that there is no downvote button, but that is w limitation of the plugin. May be it will improve.
@raghukamath; @AhabGreybeard; @sooz: I just saw that I now have significantly more votes available. Have the vote quotas for each user group been increased?
