Just saw an interesting concept on Pricespy.
Every article or shop gets a default vote of three, so they can't end up on top of any lists without having actually gotten a few votes.
I'd have to say I like that concept, as it would give a bit better distribution.
While CP is having different weights for different users the default vote would have to be a gold or a platinum one.

That's a kludge
We use a voting centroid when sorting items by votes. The centroid is (VoteValue_max + VoteValue_min) / 2 (ie 3.0), and all votes are centred around this. No votes means the item has a value of 0. A rating of 1 means a value of -2, a rating of 5 gives a value of 2. It's effectively the same as giving things a single vote of 3 and then sorting, but without actually giving the thing a vote.

And what happens when the article has a single vote of five?

I agree with the problem you mentioned. But I think, we should think something better than the solution you suggested. May be giving weightage to the vote count in this case...
I will post my opinion here if I could think of some thing better.

It was filtered, and subsequently people voted on it. With vengeance.

I cannot view PDF File Writer C# Class Library (Version 1.13.0)[^] with Firefox. I get a screen with Controller or Action Not Found. Do not try and find the page. That’s impossible. Instead only try to realise the truth: I can view other articles with Firefox. I can view the article above with MS internet explorer.

Works in Firefox for me.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I reloaded Firefox and it is ok.

Yeah, Firefox can go completely haywire sometimes.

The 'Use My Gravatar' check box on the account settings page is checked by default regardless of whether or not I uncheck it or whether or not I have a Gravatar. If I uncheck it, switch to a different tab, make a change, and save, when the page account page reloads, the check box is again checked.

I'm receiving the same comment more than once. Seems that there is bug for email messaging.

I just observed for the second time that a message that I modified much later didn't get marked with "[modified]" in the subject line and the message also doesn't show the "modified ... hr ago." remark. But it seems to happen just randomly.
If it helps, it was this message this time (I added the "[modified]" manually in a third edit):
