If you give a negative rating its ok - but you should - allow the author to remedy the issue - force users dowvoting scripts to leave a message
Its ok to downvote for a reason such as "contains executable". But its bad to have people provide negative rating and not knowing why! The website should allow some minimal feedback. > I have manually deleted the sequence of -1 ratings for script 2905. > Not a thing that we should need to do often. You're right: In open source malicious downvoting does not happen often or should not. I've checked it: I can no longer access HTTP access logs. Bram: do you still know when you changed the voting system using POST? Then we can confirm what happened to Dr Charles Campbell's scripts.
