I like the idea of Upvote/Pbum, but would this make the ‘excess choc scoops’ problem even worse? Or would it just spread the choc around more evenly?

Would it? Suppose you have a submission that would get 35 upvotes and 30 downvotes. If it was just “upvote/pbum” you would end up with 7 scoops. However, if you get to 5 scoops, get downvoted, get upvoted, get downvoted, get upvoted, etc. you would end up with 31 scoops. At the same time, if you go up/down/up/down etc. ending with 5 straight up votes, you’d end up with 1 scoop. It seems like “you get 7” is better than “you get somewhere between 1 and 31” in this situation.

It seems “you get scoops = floor[votes/5], no matter what order you get them in” would be a good system.
