AniDB allows you to vote for the | One of the best features of AniDB is the voting system. It allows you to vote for almost any aspect of the DataBase, including anime (both [[Votes: Anime|finished]] and [[Votes: Anime: Temp|unfinished]]), [[Votes: Episodes|episodes]], [[AniDB:Review Comments|reviews]], [[Votes: Groups|groups]] and [[Votes: Anime: Group|groups-per-anime]]. | ||
You should read up on the specifics of each one before voting for them; for example, review-votes should always be accompanied by a comment, and when it comes to the groups-per-anime vote you can also leave a comment if you feel like it. | |||
==Voting levels== | |||
===6 levels=== | |||
For reviews you only get 6 total levels of grading. This is mostly because you should use the comments to express your exact feelings. It is graded from 1-10 though, you only get fewer levels to choose from. | |||
:*'''6 levels''' - only for reviews - ''1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10.'' | |||
===10 levels=== | |||
For most things you have 10 levels to choose from when you vote, from 1 to 10. This includes episodes, reviews, groups and groups-per-anime. | |||
:*'''10 levels''' - default - ''1, 2, 3, ... 10.'' | |||
===19 levels=== | |||
When it comes to anime votes however, you have three different grading scales to choose from. Ordinarily it is the same 10 level scale you have with the other votes as well, but you can set an option in your [[profile]] which will allow you to see 19 levels of voting. | |||
:*'''19 levels''' - profile setting (only for anime) - ''1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, ... 9.5, 10.'' | |||
===901 levels=== | |||
If you're really crafty you can also vote with 901 levels! This stretches from 1.00 to 10.00 and involves manipulation of the URL in order to cast a vote like this. | |||
:*'''901 levels''' - URL hack (only for anime) - ''1.00, 1.01, 1.02, ... 9.99, 10.00.'' | |||
This is a bit tricky as there aren't buttons for this and most likely never will be. [[User:Exp|Exp]] never wanted to increase the voting levels to 901 levels in the first place. Though the db software doesn't care and accepts the votes anyway so you may use it, if you want to. | |||
* Copy the following link to the url field of your browser:<br> | |||
: <tt><nowiki>http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=357&votea.rate=100&votea.ratenow=vote</nowiki></tt><br> | |||
: You have to adjust the [[ID:aid|aid]] for the anime you want to vote on and the vote (the number behind <b>votea.rate</b>). It can be any integral number between 100 and 1000. | |||
* Alternatively, there is a [[Firefox Script]] that removes the current vote dropdown menu from the anime pages and replaces it with a text field in which you can write any 901 level value and then press vote. | |||
* Another way is to use [[IRC:Tessa|Tessa[AR]]] | |||
:{{h4|Usage:}} | |||
:*!votex <aid> <vote> | |||
:{{eyecatch|Note:|ONLY works with [[ID:aid|aid]]<br>The vote HAS to be input as a number between 100 and 1000. 100 equaling 1.00 and 1000 10.00}} | |||
==Grading== | |||
Regardless of how many levels you decide to use in your vote, there are in the end still only 10 main levels. To make a proper vote there are 3 easy rules you should follow: | |||
:* First, try to use 3, 5, 7 and 9 in the beginning; the most used one is 7. | |||
:* Second, the use of 1, 2 and 10 is very rare. | |||
:* Third, don't think of 10 as perfect and 1 as worst possible since those do not exist. Basically 0 and 11 represent those values and as those don't exist you can't vote for them. | |||

'''10 - Sugoi'''<br> | |||
This anime is something really big; it changed your mind, gave you a whole new perspective on life and broadened your horizons. If this sounds unfamiliar to you then you have yet to watch a truly sugoi anime.<br> | |||
<u>This grade is reserved only for the animes you'll never ever forget.</u> | |||
'''9 - Great'''<br> | |||
This anime is absolutely great, you were very impressed by it. Everyone should watch it, not only anime fans because everyone will enjoy it as this is the kind of anime that creates anime fans. Everything in the anime is on a very high level. Use this for only the best animes you've watched.</div> | |||
<div span style="padding-bottom: 2px; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px;"> | |||
'''8 - Very good'''<br> | |||
This anime is better than good, there are a few moments you were very impressed by it and every anime fan should watch it. However, it is still not great as it still has a few points to improve. | |||
'''7 - Good'''<br> | |||
This anime is good, the animation and sound is quite good and it has an original story and different characters as well. You can recommend it to the average anime fan; use this for animes you like. | |||
'''6 - Fine'''<br> | |||
This anime is better than decent but still not good, there are a few moments you enjoy although you can't really recommend it to others. | |||
'''5 - Decent'''<br> | |||
This anime is neither good nor bad. People can watch it whenever they are bored or when they've run out of other anime to watch. | |||
'''4 - Bad'''<br> | |||
This anime is just plain bad. It has nothing to recommend, it is just plain boring. While there are worse animes it's still too bad to recommend to others. | |||
'''3 - Very Bad'''<br> | |||
This is a very bad anime although still anime. There's nothing appealing about it. You cannot recommend it to anyone, not even die hard anime fans of this specific genre. If you think an anime is one of the worst ever vote a 3.</div> | |||
<div span style="background: #FF9F80; padding-bottom: 2px; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px;"> | |||
'''2 - Hopeless'''<br> | |||
You cannot say anything good at all about this one. Animation, sound, story, everything was really bad.<br> | |||
<u>This grade is reserved only for the very bad cartoons. There is probably nothing as bad as this in AniDB. Use this only if you're absolutely certain.</u> | |||
'''1 - Unwatchable'''<br> | |||
You were not even able to watch it; it was probably the worst thing you have ever watched.<br> | |||
<u>This grade is reserved only for the worst cartoons. There is probably nothing as bad as this in AniDB. Use this only if you are absolutely certain.</u> If you are just trying to vote so that this anime does not show up for things like the [[Anime Hint]] then add it to your [[blacklist]] instead of voting 1.</div> | |||
