...just my opinion
I think the score has little value without knowing how many people have read
the post and have chosen not to vote - it could be argued (not by me) that
these readers should register an automatic 50 score as they did not care
either way?
Furthermore, while I acknowledge the system is still in its early days of
use, I can't help thinking it is all very subjective. Take this post as an
example :
http://www.lugnet.com/market/auction/?n=5150
It has a current score of 25 (one vote of nil):
http://www.lugnet.com/news/rating-graph.cgi?lugnet.market.auction:5150
I can see nothing wrong with it. I can't see why somebody has got worked up
to vote nil for it? Additionally, I think quoting anything more than the
number of votes and the score is distracting.
....just my opinion.
