Hi there. Sorry if the scores misled you. That's not the intent at all. The scores that you see next to each discussion/comment are exactly that: a score. It's not intended to represent the raw number of people who have voted. For example, on Reddit, the score that you see is extremely simple/primitive: upvotes - downvotes. The entire premise behind Caucus is that content can and should be scored using much more sophisticated algorithms. Some of the many factors that we use to generate scores: poster's reputation, voters' reputations, posters/voters' activity levels, community size, number of times the post has been seen by voters, etc. If this all sounds very abstract and you're wondering what a sophisticated scoring algorithm looks like, here's a famous one that we drew inspiration from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank. Anyway, long story short: the scores that you see on Caucus aren't an indication of the number of people who voted on it. They are the output of our reputation-system-based scoring algorithm. Hope that clears things up!
