also make the vote values floating point

let's eliminate the 5 and store the value in two bits. this will save valuable server memory and bandwidth that is undoubtedly currently bankrupting lowtax

1 to 5 scales are dumb. people see 3 and think that�s not so bad. 3 = 50%. 1 = 0%.

I had to explain to a colleague recently that 5 is not the midpoint on a scale from 1 to 10.

1 to 5 scales are dumb because they encourage people to have no opinion on things

whenever i make a survey it's always 1-4 or 1-6 so people are forced to choose a side.
