Logic Behind a Thumbs Up/Down Voting System?

Post by Smudly »

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

That entirely depends on what you're trying to accomplish.

Generally though, it's just a matter of total up vs. total down.
