I think we need someone to take a look at the downvoting on the site. I just downvoted a guide, refreshed and it went up a number instead of down. This may be the reason why we have so many terrible guides with high upvotes.

Please fix! :D

I think the votes actually increase but the bars decrease (i think it is the number of vote given)

I don't believe I saw the bars go down either :( I'll check again.

Edit: Nope, bars don't go down either.

I think (once again :P) that a vote couldn't change a bar that fast. Example is my guide got 10 votes and other guides get 14 votes. I have 4 bars but the other get 3 bars. Other than that, I saw someone gave +1 for me but it was still 3 bar (same as before) I think to reduce the bar, it needs a somve downvote (sorry for bad english, I'm very sleepy right now :D)

lol Well I downvoted a guide that had only 1 vote and 3 bars. I gave 1 downvote and it went up to 2 votes and still 3 bars. If what you say is true, then this is something that needs to be fixed. Downvotes should be shown immediately in my opinion or else it just allows more guides to be looked at over time before affected by those downvotes.

there is a lot of going on behind the scene with downvotes

a guide thats downvoted and has only 1 vote shows 3 bars, but a guide with only 1 upvote is better in rating. also in the long run the downvoted one will always be worse then the upvoted one although the rating seems the samen.
