Vote counts as ratios?
This is not meant to be a committed advocating or request of the following, but rather a conversation to analyze the possibilities and potential benefits and drawbacks. What if the total score for a post was bounded in a small interval - either (-1,1), or possibly (0, 1) (or even [0, 1]). There are some different mathematical functions one could use for this. The main point might be to change from the kind of large-scale dynamics of, “this post has 66 upvotes; this one has -1”, to a kind of bounded ratio score, “0.97” is a generally positive score, which may yet fluctuate over time; whereas a 0.1 “needs improvement”.
