For you, yes. For others, no.
Agreed.
Agreed. This is a good thing.
It's certainly been used as a club in the past and will continue to be used as such in the future, regardless how we feel about it, It is also used by the contributors for any number of positive purposes. Most new contributions aren't voted on or receive very few votes, and that's fine too. The de-emphasis on voting has certainly arrived. People who like using it will continue to do so. De-emphasis on the voting though isn't bad, either.
Thanks for clarifying for me.
What I said was the SP voting system serves no useful purpose.
For you, yes. For others, no.
The votes do not indicate some particular mountain or route attribute. A score in and of itself cannot be used in any useful way of making a mountain or route selection.
Agreed.
Its been underway some time now, but SP seems no longer to be dominated by the couple of dozen contributors that once represented the core group focus. BUILD OUT!
Agreed. This is a good thing.
Now its evolving into a users group and as such the vote system is completely useless. It was never designed for the users, has always been a plaything and a club, of the contributors.
