So … you are basing you hypothesis on an article about Pedophile hunters written in German (or Swiss if you want to get frisky) that you linked using an English headline and summary in a software development community?

I’m surprised that your post wasn’t removed.

I’m mentioning this because it hardly seems like a genuine attempt to learn anything and any assertions you make about voting behaviour has to be suspect at best, not to mention that it’s based on a single example, hardly ever the hallmark of solid statistical analysis.

Let’s move on to the attempted “fix”.

You’re attempting to achieve what exactly?

A relationship between votes and comments?

How do you know how the users decide what to read, vote or comment on? You see a relationship with ordering by votes, I read whatever comes past on my “All feed” and vote when I think the pod warrants it. The two are not the same.

In other words, your proposal seems based on a very poor foundation and I’m voting accordingly.
