RE: Will it rain downvotes?
But the percentage is all positive, just the values change. It isn't a rating system because there is no negative (incentivized negative).
If @Blocktrades gives you a "1-star rating" that is a 12 dollar vote. Is that a negative statement? All votes are positive.
When it comes to a 5-star system, it would have a weighting like, -2,-1,0,1,2 or similar. So if a 100% vote is a 5, a 0 vote is a 3.
Besides not everyone can regulate their upvote. Some vote 100% any time they vote. I am more concerned about abuse. Some would settle scores with flags just because they can not because the post deserved it. This is where maturity comes into play. But where there is a possibility of financial reward, do humans behave with maturity?
This is what we all have to learn to deal with in the future (now too) as it is where a great deal of suffering lives.
I agree with the above. If I get any percentage of a vote, I take that as a positive.... if someone votes me 10% one day, and 50% the next, the perception isn't that they liked my more recent content 5 times more, but that they are less active or less votey the second day... as I'm getting a higher percentage of their voting pie.
