this is actually hilarious way to show that tiers voting is distinct from multiple choice or popularity

This is more votes than I had expected.

On a scale from new UI to old UI I'm either voting 0 or 4.

>>5427>it's impossible to decipher those results when there's no voter count shown and the results are given as a sum instead of an average.I was going to say that the shape would be the same regardless, but thinking about it... Since the voting is on a scale of 0 to 4, it would make far more sense for the results to be averaged and shown as 0 to 4 as well. It would be nice and fancy to then round to the closest whole number result and show the "sentiment score" as well (pic related):
X <= 0.5 -> Bleh
0.5 < X <= 1.5 -> Meh
1.5 < X <= 2.5 -> Sure
2.5 < X <= 3.5 -> Cool
3.5 < X <= 4 -> Boson
As far as making polls are concerned, it would help to just have an "invert sentiment" button.

I understand it but I vote 4 on both options anyway just because I can.

>>5430we had a discussion about this in IRC and my opinion that he failed to provide an alternative option to is this:
- The bars on polls are an inherent average
- Being given the raw numbers lets you infer how many people are on a poll
- Averages hide information and require me to add more numbers and graphs to the page decreasing readability
No.5435
What he made me agree about was that the voting should be a 1 to 5 since a 1 implies that you voted. However. this means that everything will get a vote
No.5436
We just need to make cool 'I voted' stickers
No.5437
>>5435>However. this means that everything will get a votethat's only a problem with sums, but not averages
as for this
>- Being given the raw numbers lets you infer how many people are on a pollit can let you estimate fairly loosely, but it'll never tell you whether that 12 is from six people voting 2 or three people voting 4
>- Averages hide information and require me to add more numbers and graphs to the page decreasing readabilityhide what information
No.5438
not him btw

>>5434>The bars on polls are an inherent averageAn average which does not relate to the options 1:1.
>Being given the raw numbers lets you infer how many people are on a pollNot important. If you think it is, just add a "votes: X" above the poll expiration.
>Averages hide informationIt increase readability by directly relating the sentiment scores to the result of the poll.
>require me to add more numbers and graphs to the page decreasing readability*Number: yes. Graphs: no. I think pic related is infinitely more readable than "48 vs 68 vs 61 vs 64".

i improved the memory of the polls and updated it to 1-5 rankings but I'm not interested in updating the version numbers so whatever, you guys can deal with it how you want or something
No.5447
it should go from 1 to 5 instead of 0 to 4 and it should display the average score instead of some weird total and it should let you make a poll with only one row if it's a Likert scale poll and it should be selected via a dropdown with three options instead of a combination of two checkboxes where one of the 4 states of the checkboxes is disallowed by fiat

>>5447> 1 to 5done, but I don't feel like updating the version numbers to cause cache update because the userbase doesn't want features.
