...trolltastic.
"Mean 1.25e+18 Median 45.0 Total votes 8"
Specifying a lower and upper bound on the input should be required.
That doesn't really prevent trolling, so i'm not sure that it would be helpful.
It won't prevent trolling but it will minimize its effects. As it stands, you can input numbers like 1e+19 which will seriously throw off the mean. If trolls can only give the highest or lowest reasonable bound then they're not going to have much of an effect individually and that makes going through the effort to troll less worthwhile.
