How many people will vote for an appealed rating?
Askville sends appealed questions to five randomly (or at least semi-randomly as there are some criteria) selected Askvillers to give their own votes on. Of course you could have a lot more than five people being given the option if they chose to skip voting on the appeal (an option in the appeal voting box). The criteria for choosing who will vote on an appeal is that the Askvillers chosen will not be among those who asked or answered the question that the appealed answer responded to and that according to Askville, some preference will be given to people who have experience in at least on of the question’s topics.
