Anonymous Cow Herds Can't Vote (Score: 1, Informative) by Anonymous Coward on 2014-04-28 13:56 (#17K) Ugh, I didn't find that out until deliberating and making all my selections.:(Also, the 1 is most trusted, 8 is least trusted (but yield 8 and 1 point respectively) methodology could be made more clear.It's this kind of confusion that may have led to inaccurate voting results on another site recently.

There is also a rather large "voting methods" section in wikipedia that give sample ballots of actual elections. I did find it odd that the name-vote from Soylent had the order swapped. In every ballot on wikipedia, "1" is always the highest priority.

Was this your own idea?)
