Voting on Reviews

V3 has brought with it a "disagree" button, as well as the ability to vote multiple things on a single review (e.g. "helpful" and "funny")

I wish it was possible to rescind an Agree or Disagree vote when one decides to be neutral after voting.

I have no idea which version this is, but I've come across multiple times where I agree and disagree with a review, but if I want to vote I have to pick one (agree or disagree) and can't select them both. but at least I can vote helpful, agree, and funny. I just wish I could click them all, but it's not that big a deal.

Mixed bag- the four options are nice, but I dislike the waiting time.

I really like the addition of the disagree button. A negative voting option was needed to stop people from using the funny button to indicate that they didn't like the review.

But it does take way too long to give a vote.

UPDATE: I still preferred the old inline option, but the pop-up box has been a lot faster lately, and seems to work pretty well.

I like the idea of being able to give more than one vote on a review, but why do we need the window to do it? Can't there just be buttons like in V2?


UPDATE:

It would be really helpful to see if I've already voted on a review without having to pull up the vote window. It's slightly irritating to read a review, think it worthy of a vote, pull up the window, look at demonic hellstar, to find that I've already voted on it.

Essentially expanding on what Magellan said, I like being able to give several votes at once to the same review (and I especially like the new 'disagree' button... however I am yet to give a helpful and a disagree to the same review). Saying that, having to wait is a bit of a pain, and it means I give out fewer votes, which is a shame. The loading times are taking away much of the spontaneity I loved about the site previously.

Pretty good, I'd say.

I like the new voting method. It takes me about two seconds to leave a helpful, agree, or disagree vote. Maybe it was a little /too/ easy to vote before and perhaps that leads to more abuse.

I think the unvieling of the fabled "Fourth Button" will add a new dimension to the site and its dynamics. We all should have figured out its nuances by the time the 2010 mid-term elections roll around.

Update: I hadn't picked up that you could cast multiple votes on a single item. I assume that Agree/Disagree is a toggle though. Or maybe its a legitmate statement that you could agree and disagree. Or maybe its a way of stating that you agree TO disagree. Time to start working on V4?

I just noticed that once you give an item a "Star Rating" the corresponding description ("Great!", "Annoying!" etc.) appears a s text next to the Star Bar. Nice touch.

A bit rough in application, perhaps, but the options for voting get rid of that moment where you're thinking, "Damn, its helpful, its funny, and I agree! What to do..."

UPDATE: Still wondering when the hell I'm gonna pull a disagree vote...

I have yet to use the fourth button. I'm still in the transition state to make sure I don't have the disagree and funny feelings mixed up. I'm proud to say that I got my very first disagree vote today, so people are not too afraid to use it.

Being able to vote on multiple things is a cool feature. I have always wanted to have that ability so a big thanks to the RIA team.

As for the complicated process we now have to go through to give a vote, it certainly has reduced the number of votes I've been giving.

It's a bit of mixed bag.

I like having more voting options and the ability to vote multiple things on a single review.

Waiting for the pop-up makes it a bit more of a chore however. I'm worried that this might reduce the number of votes given.
