reason for voting down
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
as an uploader, i find it very irritating when people vote my uploads down without giving any reason.
i can understand some don't like my work but i have no idea how i could improve it.
i think it would be a good idea to remind people about commenting every time they vote anything bad.
an extreme (perhaps too extreme?) version would be not to let people vote down without providing a comment.
ps. please, don't vote this upload down without giving a reason...

don't you find it funny is some strange way that the comments on this proposition are in general positive while the rating is pretty low?
i guess it means a big "no" from the takers, as maitre could put it, and a "yes" from the givers...
sometimes i feel like it's time for me to become a bitter old man.

Are people who don't submit to this site somehow inferior to those oh-so-special people who have? Do their opinions count for less?
Stop being elitist pricks is my suggestion.

On a personal level, I'd much rather receive my ratings from the people who GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY and not the ones who just TAKE FROM IT.

Again, I would encourage people to stop being elitist pricks.

uploading anything or not is of course not a great way to determine whether someone has a good or good taste.
still, i prefer being voted down by someone who's uploaded sth than by someone who's just dropped in for the first and last time.

This is good point. Ratings have no point if all users/visitors cannot vote.
However, required feedback when voting is not bad idea, also some more detailed statistics about voting and ratings will be more than welcome I think.

maitre:
yes, it seems to me, too, like the site admins have done the site, advertised it and stopped ever taking care any more.

We've been complaining about rating systems for years.

I rated this down because this isn't really any kind of site content, it's just a complaint (which would probably be better aimed at site admins?)

I'm voting this up because I think that verbal feedback is far more useful than ratings.

anyway, i can see this very upload's been voted down at least a few times but only got two comments...
do you think i'm wrong guessing that those who upload nothing or hardly anything are the first ones in the queue to vote other people's work down?

That's why themes that at one time were in the low to mid 80's are now in the low to mid 70's. How does 6 months or a year gone by lower the quality of a theme? It's a poor rating system.
You can't just view 'most downloads', for obvious reasons, so 'highest rated' should be the best way to find the good stuff. Unfortunately this is not the case.
