I recently thought that it might be an interesting experiment to not display any vote counts but instead order the posts based on them (as already done I guess).

pg did this for a few hours and used circles where the point number one, something like orange or red color was used to denote a popular comment.

Many people disliked this however and decided that the numbered system was better, thought a few hours allows very little benefits to be seen.
