Forgive me if this is an old saw, but I Super Search'ed and went back a fair way in Discussion history and couldn't find it, so...

Would it be more useful to be able to see a node's reputation as a proportion of votes cast, rather than simply the overall total, much like the moderation system does already? Then one could see that (say) a +10 node had had 100 votes cast (-45,+55), and the Monastery was fairly evenly split on the matter, rather than having had only 10 votes, but all positive.

It seems that it would only need a small change to the engine, but would benefits Monks greatly, allowing them to judge better the 'value' of their nodes and others.

Cheers,
Ben.
