( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Every once in a while, I find that I end up with a node rated 0 or -1. This happens -- reputation, like XP, is just a number -- and I don't stress about it. However, I've always wondered about why I get a -1. Is it because very few people saw my node, and the one person who voted on it voted it down? Or, did many people vote on it with a net result of -1?

If I got one vote, and it was --, I would simply write it off as a fluke. On the other hand, if 90 people voted and 46 of them thought the node was poor, I can take some time to consider what I might have done to improve the node quality.

To this end, would it be possible to include a number-of-votes statistic next to the node reputaion? In other words, something like:

Reputation: 1 after 12 votes.

I think such a thing would be particularly useful to new posters, so that they get a better idea of what the community considers good, bad, and mediocre. There would also be some benefit to those of us who have been around a bit and want to improve the quality of our contributions. What do the rest of you think?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
