Logic Behind a Thumbs Up/Down Voting System?


Smudly

Recommended Posts

I'm planning to create a voting page, where users can vote on different ideas or suggestions. I think for my situation it will be best to use a Thumbs Up / Thumbs Down type voting system. Can anyone explain how these work? Do they use division, average, etc?

 

Thanks

 

They probably have a column for both up and down votes in each item's db row.  To order them, like, say Stackoverflow, it's simply a matter of ordering by the difference between each row's up and down votes.
