Hi, I just wanted to suggest that the up votes and down vote numbers should be shown instead of a total score (or maybe both). I use this discussion website for a manga that I read and it shows you the count for both up and downvotes individually.
like so:
3 ^ | 6 v
Daen1 votesPersonally I see no point in doing a system like that, an overall observation of the community's disposition towards a topic shows the same information with less clutter.
-3 shows the same thing as 3 ^ | 6 v in a much clearer and more concise way, imo.
J0HN C3N41 votesOn a smaller scale like 9 total votes? yes it seems pointless but when we start talking about a post that gets 300 votes total 200 ^ | 100 v it would only show as +100 leaving out 100 + votes and 100 - votes from every one to see. When you start talking about what the general consensus on a specific subject is I believe it would be impacting.
eKatSS1 votesWhile I agree that this format would help see the division of opinions, it kinda defeats the point of having, at a glance, an idea of the "score/value" of a post. I like the simpler score format that is going on now.
J0HN C3N41 votesTBH the more and more I think about it makes me believe that the "score/value" should be kept as well and just adding what I'd suggest along to it on the post preview (when you high-light it) and when you open it. Not only on the OP but also all comments.
eKatSS1 votesNow if you make mousing over the score an action that pops up the ratio of likes/dislikes, it would do both at the same time: be simple while still be informative.
edit: while still being very easy to implement.
djump1 votesWhat do you all think about some integrated approach? still show the main total score, but then smaller next to it, show the #ups #downs.
The danger here would be mainly visual clutter I think, but I'm sure they could stream line it at least to some degree.
What do you think?
J0HN C3N41 votesAs far as avoiding clutter I liked eKatSS's suggestion as to making it to where if you highlight the number it would then show you the amount of up-votes/down-votes. My only concern would be how would people find out about this outside of accidentally high-lighting the score number.
eKatSS1 votesSimply make the mouseover area bigger; mousing over the up arrow, down arrow or score will trigger the popup event.
Also, using a fade-in effect would make the popup less intrusive and surprising, while still having that modern and sleek look.
The other option, while potentially worsening visual clutter, would be to resize the score area on mouseover so that it would reveal up/down votes while still having the arrows on either sides (feel free to request images to illustrate my suggestion).
lick my ball1 votesI like it because it sorts out everything pretty well.
uGbMwNxkbK1 votesYes please. The devs should set up a dual-monitor station, one without RES (reddit enhancement suite), and one with the most popular options enabled. Which feels better? Go ask random Rioters (who aren't involved in the coding of this project) that you know go on Reddit a lot (any Reddit, not just the heroes on /r/league) which they think is better. Chances are a ton use RES already.
Separate up/downvotes is one of the options that a majority of people turn on. I want to see how many upvotes and downvotes there are along with the aggregate score.
(Please not "total votes", we're just gonna calculator.exe to find the up/downvotes anyway, so just show them disparately for us.)
