I don't see what is missing with the stars. What is the 'lot' that is missing?

  1. With the stars the people who are worried about rep influencing votes are concerned again.
  2. Well, that 5,6,7 series was from earlier in PM history, when votes were harder to get, so their * mean more than the * from the first list.
  3. I don't approve of hiding information without a good reason. 5,6,7 communicates to me exact, direct numbers. * means little. (Even Ebay, designed for the dull, includes the actual number with their little symbols)
If you aren't having the stars show up until the person has voted (or given a null vote), I see no reason NOT to provide the number. If you are having the stars always present, I again see no reason not to provide the number, and now have to defend the system to those who fear "me too" votes.
