Are you asking for something like a breakdown of all comments sorted by scores and percentages...
E.g...
- Score: 0, 45% of all comments
- Score: 1, 5% of all comments
- Score: -1, 4.3% of all comments
...and so on, and so forth?

1. Count all comments (in maybe one month)
2. That what you suggested with the per cents.
Like I said: If necessary. And maybe, if possible something that counts this:
Comment A has been downvoted to -1 but was later upvoted to 0.
-> Neutralization of the downvote
That would mean that it counts how many posts were downvoted, but were upvoted again so that its score is now zero. If there will be a big number, than one could assume how necessary it is to lower the threshold, because the downvote gets neutralized afterwards. Off course the comment will be hidden for some time, but not for so long that the downvote destroys anything.

Okay... well, the order for comment votes cannot be determined since the comment entities cannot be accessed, to include the "created at" timestamp.
Also, the number of upvotes and downvotes are also not tracked separately, unlike the post score.
Therefore, the only source of data available is the current comment score... :(

So...what does that mean? Impossible to count?
If yes, then I'd still say that one should make this possible (but other than this, I can't really imagine a need for that) or one should still lower the default threshold to -2.
But it seems that @Type-kun mentioned multiple times a former discussion. Might you want to link us to that, so we can read the reasoning^^?

You talked about a discussion regarding this topic. Where can this be found?
What? Where did I? I mentioned a discussion about showing comment scores, and I linked issue #1702. I don't remember mentioning anything else.

Then it is ok. I only want to know if that was also discussed somehow. And by topic I meant "comments".
I just skimmed the topic but from what I can tell this has veered off it's original intent and the problem presented was already fixed. If you wish to discuss the comment system as a whole or specific facets such as are people actually voting please make a thread to address specifically that.
