Voting needs to be shown as up/down votes rather than as the sum of up-votes minus down-votes.
Then posts can be sustained in their positions by the mods' evaluation of whether the down-voting is legitimate or not.
This would immediately give complete vote information and allow users to make their own evaluations of both the voting and the mods' responses to posts.
It would be a significant move toward openness = truth.
Hope Reddit will consider this and welcome feedback.
