Once again about all of us favorite vote for topics
Habré has a simple and effective voting system for topics. In general, it works quite smoothly, but there are moments that personally confuse me a little. Let them share :).
To begin with an example. Suppose I created an actual and sought-after topic about poaching in the Altai Territory (an example of a deliberately abstract). The topic aroused interest, an active voting began, the comments showered each other more beautifully. The audience got a taste. But here's the trouble, the terrible death of sturgeon as such, not everyone liked (and this is understandable). Barely having read the article, some users rush to pick up a topic in protest. They are against poaching! And I agree with them. But let me. What does the phenomenon of poaching (object of the article) have to do with the assessment of the article itself.
I personally minus the topic, as a rule, for the following reasons:
But if I do not like the phenomenon described in the article, this does not mean at all that the article itself is uninteresting, irrelevant or the author is bad. Topics for discussion are different. And it is even good.
')
As a result, I see an amazing picture: the number of those who voted for my topic is 50, while the post rating is 0 (+1, +2, etc., but not more than +7). That is, “For” voted as much as “Against”. And the topic peacefully rests in its category, when, judging by the scale of the discussion, it should have been long ago become a hag and discussed by a wider audience. Neither the volume of the discussion (in this case, 50 voters), nor 25 votes “For”, played any role. The topic stayed where it was.
It is clear that this does not happen often. But agree that it happens. And this can be corrected if we display the topic in the Hacked, not only in the case of overcoming the “withdrawal threshold”, but also in the case of overcoming a given number of all votes (the actual amount of discussion), of course, subject to positive rating (> = 0).
By the way the idea: let's just vote. Voting results will be more eloquent than any discussion :)
So are you for or against?

I personally minus the topic, as a rule, for the following reasons:
- I do not like the presentation style or arguments of the author, given in the article;
- I believe that the article is custom and the author misleads me.
