That people are viewing submissions and commenting on them, yet they do not cast a vote on them?
I've seen quite a few submissions like this just lately, and its not the most important thing ever, but it is a little frustrating (even if its not my own submission).

Just a quick rant really, thanks.

I noticed this too, maybe the votes are lagging, or maybe people forget to vote.

Probably the latter. It sucks really, I like to see a lot of votes on a submission so people know how good it really is. It kinda sets a higher standard for submissions here so that people get good votes, overall improving the quality of the stuff posted here.

yeah, it's most definately the latter, but for me, it's usually the opposite, rate but not comment.

Voting for submissions has been neglected by me for several reasons including simply forgetting and not being able to vote with IE7.

Other reasons are variations on not having the same separation in feeling of forum topics and submissions as there is with Eggs and forum topics on RE. Basically a habit developed elsewhere and not yet transported to this arena.

I'll try remember to vote more often.

I noticed this the other day, a submission had 3 different comments by different people but only 1 vote! I nearly commented on it asking why, but I was supposed to be going out so I just voted and left.

I thought about making it so when you post 5*, it automatically makes your vote 5*, etc

but really, let's not get crazy here.

What if you made it so you have to vote in order to comment?

lol, I thought about suggesting that before! But I thought it would be a lot of work/impossible to do. Would it be easy enough to do? If so I think it might be a good idea!

Sounds like a good idea. I'd try do that, but don't do it unless you're sure it's bug free, we don't want people rating 7* on their own work xD

I love this forum, except for . What a dick.

Opus, that is possible, but I'm not sure if that's the best approach though.

Do you have anything else in mind that could stop people from commenting but not rating?

After you comment, couldn't it redirect too "Don't forget to vote!" and theres no way to skip? Something on the lines of that.

Probably would just end up with people not being bothered to vote OR comment, lmao.

I think it is a bad idea. Then if a submission is really shitty and you say 5* just to mess around, it would rate 5*

I hate that I take the time to submit something and nobody really views it. It should be forced somehow.

Well at least it would stop people from lying about what they voted!
