Re: Re: Increased number of downvotes at the Monastery? (no)

To settle the question that the OP was asking would it be possible to look at the change in up to down voting ratio over time for the whole monastery? I am thinking of results that might look a bit like this:

Changes in voting habits:

Year         Up : Down
00-01       80% : 20%
01-02       83% : 17%
etc...

I don't know how you would get this info or if it is something that you would want to disclose but it might be interesting. Then again: lies, damned lies and statistics...

Thank you theorbtwo. Thats exactly the information ive always wanted but never actually thought of asking for. :-) Could do one with the same data plus the number of voters, by month? That would show almost what I would like to see which is the proportion of votes cast by what level (at the time of the vote). Which i guess is impossible? --- demerphq _{First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. -- Gandhi}	[reply] [d/l]
