How is this list determined? Most up and down votes combined? Just curious

Thanks for the question, you've reminded me to document this. After much experimentation, the current formula for the "controversy score" is:

(lower of upvotes/downvotes) cubed, divided by (higher of upvotes/downvotes)

This score maximises when the numbers of upvotes & downvotes are similar, and when there are a lot of votes in total. Have added the score to this post, and will include it in future.
