I already submitted this on the old site, but it was shortly before the hiatus and it probably got lost. I think it would be very helpful to see the number of votes on a comment next to the average rating, as this would give much more meaning to the comment ratings (a 4.50 with 10 votes is much better than a 5.00 with 1 vote). This doesn't need to have any further practical implications WRT mojo and such, it would just enhance the quality of ratings.

Is this doable? It's pretty high on my wishlist, and the last time I submitted it, the response was quite positive as well.

And names (4.00 / 1) (#1)

Also, it would be nice to see the names of voters. The reason the submission queue isn't abused like comment moderation is because with submissions you can't hide behind your vote like a K5 Coward.



Well... (none / 0) (#2)

It may discourage people from voting, however. Seeing a post with 500 votes may lower the participation.



It's real.. (none / 0) (#3)

Thanks to whoever implemented it, it will be interesting to see how this -- and the now non-anonymity of rating comments -- affects the moderation. I hope non-anonymity of ratings doesn't lead to flamewars.
