in reply to Blank votes, and total vote count display.

<cite>I suppose this probably has been up for discussion before

Heh. Understatement of the year!

No-one seems to have posted pointers to old threads on this topic, so here goes (judging by the node ids, this has been going on since the dawn of time)...

There is another thread somewhere on the subject where someone suggested that both count(votes) and sum(votes) should be displayed for your reputation. Unfortunately I can't remember who, where or in what context. Oh well.

This has been a Perl Monks community announcement.

    *Grin* I hear you. And I thought as much - I was pretty surprised when five minutes spent on Super Search didn't give any hits on the subject.

    Anyways, seems like most don't like the idea very much, and I agree they give good arguments - and my main reason for posting (as is any post here imo) was to find out what people want as much as proposing something. Although displaying how many votes has been used to get the final rep count seems still a valid idea - if implementable.

    *Drops subject* - thank you all for your time. :)
