How the numbers work

A small set of simple rules, so every number on the board is explainable.

Scores

For people, organisations, and products, the score is the share of counted votes that are 👍 up, rounded to the nearest percent.

For face-offs, the score is the share of counted votes that picked the first option. 60% for Codex means 60 of every 100 voters chose Codex over its rival.

Weekly trend

The trend badge compares the current 7-day window with the previous one and shows the percentage-point change.

A topic shows rising or falling when the change is at least 0.5 points and both windows have at least 20 counted votes. Otherwise it stays steady.

Feed ordering

Hot ranks by weekly movement, Top by total votes, and New by creation time. No editorial curation.

Anti-abuse limits

Simple limits reduce duplicate voting and spam while keeping everything anonymous.

One counted vote per topic every 12 hours per anonymous voter.
Up to 20 counted votes per hour and 60 per day per anonymous voter.
Up to 3 new topics per hour and 8 per day per creator.
Temporary network-level caps when one IP sends unusually high volume.
