the problem is that without a vote count, how do you know if 2 people voted for it (and thus really isn't a big deal), or 127 (and thus, the OP should really fix his stupid site). The only alternative are "me too" posts, which are hideous (and which is basically what my reply was).

In short, as-is, the OP really has no way of knowing just how aggravating his site is.



Thanks for explaining your comment, that makes sense. I do think, however, that your parent's comment makes a point on its own merit, not sure it needs to be "me too'd" 127 times to be heard. It also gets a prominent position on the page even without a vote count.

I'll concede that 127 visible upvotes are much preferable to 127 "me too" replies, though!
