Idea #6815: Brainstorming link: most total votes

Written by kcox5342 the 11 Apr 08 at 00:27. Category: Brainstorm.

Description

Some Brainstorm ideas get a lot of votes in both directions. Having a link to see the ideas that have the most total votes (positive+negative) would let users see a list containing the most popular ideas as well as the most controversial ideas. This way, the ones that are controversial will receive even more exposure. Perhaps even a "most controversial" list could be made, one which takes the "most total votes" list and removes those on the "most popular" list.

How about a "least controversial" link instead!?

glotz, I think "least controversial" = "most popular". If it's neither controversial nor popular, then it must have a lot of negative votes. But I was thinking the controversial ones are the ones where the voting is very close (like the Democratic primary!), and it couldn't hurt to point people to those and urge them to vote if they haven't already.

This would be cool.

Sorry, man, but I don't see how that could be useful. Shouldn't the team concentrate on the ideas that are really popular and leave the controversial ones for a later time?
