Remove "by user" and people will think it's "received by this post".

Quite possibly true! Perhaps convert "user" to plural?

The counted +1s were only received by one user, so it shouldn't be plural.

I was just thinking it should be listed as

+1 received from users: 80

rather than the current

+1 received by user: 80


Assuming it fits ?

Cheers

Problem is "received from users" may sound like it's specific to the reply while "received by user" is clearly related to that one user.

I can see both phrases relating to both outlined instances however I agree that there is a stronger argument for "received by user" being related to more site wide activities.

must brush up on my school grade English .... nek minnit
