Can't you derive upvotes/downvotes from knowing score/total?
score = upvotes - downvotes
total = upvotes + downvotes
Therefore,
upvotes = (total + score) / 2
downvotes = (total - score) / 2
- dusted 4y agoyes, but I can only see "points" on my comments.. Like, I'll have some slightly controversial comment and it will oscillate between +1 and -1 points, and I know there's a lot of interaction with it, but I can't know how much, It'd be cool to see the total as well as the points. As far as I know, I can't see the amount of upvotes or downvotes on my comments?
- r721 4y agoYeah, you can't, and that's what I was thinking about - there's some reason exact upvote/downvote numbers are hidden, and by disclosing "total votes" one would disclose those numbers too.
