Low priority site enhancement suggestion:
Would it be possible/easy to display the upvotes-to-downvotes ratios as exact fractions rather than rounded percentages? This would make it possible to determine exactly how many votes a comment required without digging through source, which would be nice in quickly determining the difference between a mildly controversial comment and an extremely controversial one.
This has been suggested several times before, and is in my opinion VERY low priority compared to all the other things we should be doing to fix Less Wrong logistics.
Or to just display the number of upvotes and downvotes.
(hovering your mouse over the karma scores shows that)
It only shows percentages, not the number of upvotes and downvotes. For example, if you have 100% upvotes, you may not know whether it was one upvote or 20.
If a comment has 100% upvotes, then obviously the amount of upvotes it got is exactly equal to the karma score of the post in question.
Good point. Math is clearly not my strong suit.
Yeah, the only ambiguous case is when the percentage is 50%.
ya sorry, i misread things. showing the numbers of upvotes and downvotes would indeed solve the precision problem.
