You deserve the transparency you seek.
Unfortunately, I believe I am the only current TB member who supports public real time voting. Hence the compromise of announcing when a vote has enough votes to pass or fail. Not nearly far enough for me, personally. But a positive step in the right direction.
I would support this, *but* I have concerns about the pressure put on voters who may simply be away from their computers for a few days.
Personally, I think that voters have enough ammo as it is. It's easy to find out, using public tools how many posts TB members have made in the public TB Topics forum, for example, since a certain date has passed.
Here are the number of posts made in the last month by TalkBoard members in this forum:
162, 106, 103, 39, 34, 32, 23, 17,
