vote-for22vote-against +23 -1

Would you like to see how many up/down votes you have cast recently?

Tired of getting that you're too negative popup when downvoting wootbot?
Want to keep track of your rolling count of up and down votes?
Do you use Firefox and GreaseMonkey?

I can help!
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/107378

This will add your current up vote count and down vote count next to the My Account and Log out links.

The easier thing to do would be to just ask for a counter somewhere on your deals.woot account...

If you have no clue what I'm talking about - more on GreaseMonkey here: http://www.greasespot.net/

I tried it on chrome and had no luck - I might play with it later.

Usual disclaimers apply - I'm not a javascript programmer so use at your own risk, etc.

Thanks to the script, I can see my vote pool decrease as time passes. While it isn't a live rss feed, it does update every time I refresh or navigate to a new page.

it will actually show in your stats what up downvoted - and you can see who others downvoted too....i predict some interesting discussions coming!!

Sadly, I don't see monitoring coming since that would make people accountable for their actions. These votes show characters and biases and I think the anonymity is what makes it very successful so far.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
