I can see the cause of misunderstanding and it could be probably solved by adding one word.
Yes definitively. Very often it's just these little things that would improve the understanding.
The upvote is given only with integers
Is it actively beeing rounded? Because I thought it should be the score times the maximum upvote for the category.
Utopian votes are meant for the best of the best.
I haven't seen too many of the best of the best anywhere ;)
I read that part many times also and I did not really think that it makes that much difference. It is possible to misunderstand, though.
The vote is given in discrete values from 1 to 100 (excluding 0 because that means no vote). I hope I am not mistaken as I do not recall seeing decimals in the votes.
As I said, if there are not enough of the best, the others are still in the queue. There are going to be new QAs in the questionnaire that should be more suitable for each category.
We can see that lots of contributions get higher score because of questions that do not allow to give lower score, unless the user answers falsely.
