Currently, when you view the rating of a ruleset (i.e., 7 out of 10 stars), you do not see how many people voted, or who they were. Should we add a count of how many people voted? Should it be possible to view who voted? Should rating votes be public? |

I would like to see how many voted but their identity is unimportant to me. |

One reason to show who voted would be to expose if we have a bloc making negative or positive votes… |

One reason to show who voted would be to expose if we have a bloc making negative or positive votes… If we can trust you to divine the meaning of the Laws of Dawghausing, I think we can trust you to discern gaming the review system and adjust posts accordingly. Number of votes only please |

I'm not sure I could identify a 'bloc' by username. |

I actually support knowing who voted. Some people I know on this sites vote means less to me than others. Some people that I have already decided are cranks or trolls and their vote is meaningless to me. |

Too much micro-management knowing the ID's of voters. People skewing the tally can be handled by the Editors. Besides, this is a hobby forum -- I don't want to multiply the drama. I come here to to read, and post, about hobbies. It is not worth more effort, or stress, than just to put fun stuff up to share. My $0.02 USD, worth. Cheers! |

Number of votes, sure. Even better would be showing the breakdown of votes by rating (X times 5 star, X times 4 star, etc). But as to identity of votes, should not be necessary if a person cannot vote more than once.

While knowing the identify of voters and their vote can help in some small number of situations, knowing the identity poisons the pool with the possibility of peer pressure. |
