PG: Will you be applying some metric to determine if this improves site feel? If so, what metric?
- edd 17y agoI think the two obvious metrics are volume of comment votes and average comment score. I don't know which way you would want those two to go though.
- philh 17y agoIf the standard deviation in comment scores decreases, that indicates more people are voting in disagreement with the majority, which is probably the intended purpose. I believe pg has in the past just used "this seems better/worse" as a metric, but it's hard to say how noticeable any change from this will be.
- noamsml 17y agoI'd say the most obvious metric would be whether it evens the distribution of comment scores.
