With an account, you can revise, criticize, and comment on ideas.
The displayed criticism count for a filtered parent can differ from the number of displayed criticisms.
Any filtered idea should always display only the count of shown criticisms.
As with #2098, implementing an accurate count of the number of shown criticisms gets very tricky once the user starts submitting new criticisms on filtered parents.
That could mislead people into thinking a revision has no pending criticisms, which would be bad for error correction.
The instructions at the top of the page are clear that not all ideas are being rendered.
People could easily miss or forget that.
For filtered parents, I could put an asterisk behind the count. On hover, explain that the total number of pending criticisms may be greater on the unfiltered view.
