Suggester being able to see Voting %

[Phanatic]

I think it will be great if you can implement a way for the suggester (not voters) to be able to see the % of votes of his/her suggestion.

 

This will be helpful because:

• If there is a low percentage, the suggester can try to gather more proof to convince more people.
• If most people disagree, the suggester can choose to close it himself.
• With multiple suggestions open, the suggester can better keep track of which ones need more focus and work to make better.

Since voters still will not be able to see it, it will not really affect the validity of the votes. There wouldn't be any bias if you only let the suggester see the voting %.

 

Thoughts/Comments?

 

Any problems with this system?

I like this idea but it shouldn't be implemented for promos i think

Eh, not worth it. It'll just cause people to be more paranoid about every single vote that is made. While I can see the use for it; it doesn't seem overly necessary. Most of the people who it would actually be 'helpful' for as you intend would most likely not understand the idea of gathering more proof or will be alerted to do so by the commentors regardless.

 

Any person that has more than one suggestion open knows what they're doing and has gathered ample proof. In less frequent cases that person could also be inexperienced and is spamming suggestions whether to be a troll or is trying to be helpful, yet is most likely wrong regardless such as spamming all unpriced unusuals to be a bud saying we can fix the prices later.

You can kinda still see, to a certain point: when you make a suggestion, take note of the amount of points listed on your profile, it will increase/decrease depending on your upvotes/downvotes.  The only issue is it only does so until you reach a certain amount of votes, and you can't have more than one suggestion open at a time if you want it to be accurate.
