* Spacing between items. Vertical screen real estate is important.
* Show up and down votes. Provides information on contentious comments.
* Ability to mix brand-new and front-page items on the same page. For better scanning of new content.
* With the ability to show up and down votes comes the ability to quantify the contentiousness of entire threads. Show us the aggregate "variability" of voting in the title of a thread.
* Get people to vote more.
* Let us develop our own ranking metrics.
* More stories per page.
- tokenadult 18y agoShow up and down votes. Provides information on contentious comments. Agreed. And the further suggestion of showing contentiousness of entire threads would be informative (and help participants trying to avoid contentiousness learn how to avoid it).
- blasdel 18y ago(and help participants trying to avoid contentiousness learn how to avoid it) That supposes that anyone wants to avoid contentious positions on the internet -- it is to laugh! Just showing (+/-) vote totals is bad enough when it comes to the "king of the shitpile" problem (showdead is worse); showing both independently is pure troll fuel.
- icey 18y agoI wish there was a way to see WHO did the up and down voting, personally. I bet there would be far less piling on if everyone could see.
