Other Factors: Up/Down Votes

I think if we tracked the number of up votes and compared it to the number of down votes it might tell us a little about the quality of an argument, or at least its perceived quality.

I think the more information the better. This is the best equation I can come up with for adding points to a belief based on the number of up or down votes. I would love your feedback.

Below is an explanation of each term.

Up/Down Votes

• UV/DV = Up or Down Vote
• #U = Number of Users
• We will have overall up or down votes. We will also have votes on specific attributes like: logic, clarity, originality, verifiability, accuracy, etc.
