So what if 96.3 percent are 10s...
I guess I don't see any reason to change this system. I can't see how 8 extra numbers causes anyone any harm. I actually kind of prefer giving things on a scale of 1-10 even if I don't usually use 2-9.
I'd prefer we just leave the system as is.

PS I'll not that I have a personal displeasure for facebook, so any changes that make me think of facebook I find displeasing. I also don't see why everything needs to be simplified down to yes and no even if the majority of people choose to answer in a form of yes and no (good or bad, good or evil, 0 or 1, + or -, etc...).

Still have 1-10... nothing to worry about. 6-10 raises a pages score, and 1-5 lowers it.

I have had some 6/10's do damage too.
Re: Changes to Voting System
Posted: Sat Jan 26, 2013 8:39 am1-5 lowers a score, 6-10 raises it... so yes a 5 does damage... but very little.
Note that 5.5 is in the middle of 1-10, since we don't have a 0-10 system. So this was the design.
6s can lower a score by an insignificant amount (0.01% or so) in certain situations (such as if a user with less than 10 power points voted a 10/10 and everyone else voted a 10/10 too and then you come along and vote a 6). If you are seeing something different that is concerning let me know.

Posted: Sat Jan 26, 2013 8:50 amI am not worried. I just noticed it occurred a couple of time while trying things out.
Re: Changes to Voting System
Posted: Sat Jan 26, 2013 8:53 amNow for me to go stir things up by giving a bunch of ok but not perfect pages some 7s and 8s!

Posted: Sat Jan 26, 2013 9:04 amRock em out Chad! I encourage everyone to join us! 10/10's are supposed to be special.
Re: Changes to Voting System
Posted: Sat Jan 26, 2013 11:40 amI like the new presentation, just one minor issue: in many pages authors have used links in the legends of photos. Links are dark and so are the picture frames, which makes them not very visible. Easy to correct I think.
And yes, the issue of publishing pages is top priority. I've been writing it for years too: going through custom objects isn't user-friendly, there should be a "publish" option.
It would also reduce a lot the rubbish in the objects lists like unfinished pages of new users who never came back.
