True, but the number of people close to them three, especially #1, is also marginal.

True, but I was interested in the univoter's scenario in particular.
|
|
|
|
|
The weight applies to both the average score of the item being voted, as well as how many reputation point sthe message's user gets. For instance, a new user would have little impact on the average score, and my only give the OP 5 points for a five, while a very highly rated user's vote would not only significantly impact athe average, but might give (to serve as an example only) as many as 50 reputation points for a vote of 5.
At the same time, ANY 1 vote could be very detrimental to an article's average score, even if made by a low-rep user. It could take several 5 votes to recover even 0.1 of a point. That's why I'm not really fond of the voting system, and wish they'd just go to a "vote if useful/ignore if not useful" system, even if it's just for articles/tips/blogs.

It's the reputation points that I was wondering about. Wasn't sure if a 1-5 meant 1-5 points in reputation. Also if it's flat for all, weighted, or tied to the average rating of that post, etc. In which case, the univoter is actually helping the OP even though they don't realize it.
|

1 and 2 are down-votes, 4 and 5 are up-votes.
receiving an up-vote or down-vote yields/costs points (independent of the exact vote), their number is weighed by the voter's relevant color.
the act of up-voting gives you one or a few points, no weighing involved.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, but that's only for the vote rating and not the reputation points, right? No votes means no additional rep points added aside from the original message. Voting a 1 or 2 would not remove rep points I would think otherwise people may go negative. I assume that voting 1-5 gives the OP 1-5 additional rep points. Unless I'm mistaken.
|

|

all I said was about rep points, not average score.
yes, people can get negative rep, it has been seen many times.

It does work with today's Who's Who layout, that should be sufficient reason to upgrade.

I assume it can show him how to get into third place and not actually get him into it.

I don't think either one of you would get away with that, there is a noticeable difference in style, humour, vocabulary and spelling.

yeah, he isn't much of an antophile.

Even more importantly, he knows better than to try to spell when he's had a few.

What do you mean by a few?
Mind you, I'm only asking for DD's benefit.

Can't see how to get to third.

I did not know that. Then the definition makes sense.
That also means that 1+5 != 2*3 for equal weights.
|
|
|
|

1+5 and 3+3 are the same for the average score (assuming equal weight), and not the same for reputation (weight irrelevant here).
|
|
|
|

Up to a point though. Once too many people have voted, the max daily will be reached if you have a thousand threes or a couple of fives.

THIS[^] guy is asking silly questions in every forum at the interval of some time and trying to flood the forum with his question.
I made him understand many times that what could be proper way of asking. But He's just going on with ignoring all the comments.

Just ignore his question, he will soon get the message.

There's kind of a contradiction for you.
