How about a most controversial Node list.

For this a node with 10 ++ vote and 10 -- votes would get a score of 10, and a node with 10 ++ votes and no -- votes would get 0.

This code is a start. The $mult is used to keep nodes with only 2 votes from getting a score of 10. 

for my $p (0..15, 100) {
    for my $n (0 .. 15, 100) {
        next unless $p+$n;
        my $mult = 10 - ($p+$n) > 0 ? 10 - ($p+$n) : 10;
        print(10 - ($mult * (1 - abs($p-$n)/($p+$n))),
              " $p $n $mult\n");
    }
}

The for loops just test the code over an arbitrary range.

UPDATE: changed divisive to controversial. And added a note to the code and reduced its range.
