Idea #4423: Show the (+/-) number of votes after my vote

Description
To see whether an idea is rated with +11 or -4 votes may have been a reciprocal effect on the voting.

Often, decisions affected by displaying the number of votes.
That means if a idea has -4 votes I vote also negative. If a idea has +11 votes I vote positive. This "bias" can falsify the results.

It would be better to show the number of votes after the vote.
Maybe sort it by the popularity but show the amount of votes after the vote.

Something I had not thought about before.

If you cannot see the standings before you vote the you *must* be allowed to vote neutral!

I am uncertain if this "keep it secret" idea is a good or not.

Please, implement this idea!! Let's make Brainstorm as "scientifically right" as possible!

This has been requested many times before, from the beginning. One of the devs said they're not going to do it because they "like it the way it is", with no further justification. :/
