suggestion for better voting system

[uazuaz]

sorry my bad english. sometimes people thumbs down all other videos to see its own video; in crowded servers this can be an issue, with lots of people who thumbs down everyone else's video. a solution: just remove the "thumbs down" button and leave only the "thumbs up", so people can still upvote good videos.

EDIT: another reason to remove the "thumbs down" button: due to thumbs down, most of videos have a negative vote, so most people use a stupid trick: they will just add their video in the last seconds on the video who's playing, so other people don't have the time to vote it and the last added video will be played for first; without the thumbs down this will not happens anymore.

another issue: if a video have some thumbs down, sometimes the user who have added that video deletes it then adds it again to reset the votes. 3 suggeston to fix this: when you add then delete a video there will be a "cooldown" and you can't add that same video for a fixed time or when you add, delete then add the same video again, it will keeps the same votes he had before deleting. or the better way to fix all this stuff is to remove the thumbs down as i said before.

There's a convar available in Cinema called cinema_queue_mode, documented in the readme of this GitHub repo. Setting it to 2 will sort the items by request time. Only leaving the thumbs up button will likely end up with the same thumbs battle of people trying to push their video to the top.

not really, when you add a video there is an automatic +1 thumbs up, so you can't upvote your own video. the convar is useful only to server owners, right?

Started working on removing down-voting from queue videos, see branch upvote-only. Should be able to finish it tomorrow.

Finished removing down-voting and the code has been merged into master. I'll update the workshop version when I've finished a few other things.
