Re: Cast: showing both ++ and --

This is not going to happen.

It has been discussed before, and it came out that for all the nodes so far, there is only an XP field, which gets updated along the lines of $xp += 1 || -1;.

Furthermore, adding this "feature" after a hundred thousand nodes leavs a hudred thousand nodes in the "dark", and I don't like that, among other people.

Anyway, it's not really that important, at least not as a feature.

The 100,000+ nodes could only be treated as per zdog above. That doesn't seem like a reason in itself not to do it in the future. p	[reply]

... I don't like that, among other people. So, some anonymous people don't like it. To paraphrase your reason: "we've always done it this way, so we don't want to change it." True, but is there a good reason for not changing it? It seems there is a great deal of interest in the feature along with a neutral (0?) vote. Their presence will change the "atmosphere" of the site. The question is will it be for the better? While we can't know for sure unless it happens, I think it's worth finding out. If it turns out to be a disaster, the votes can be agrregated and we're back to where we are now. Plus we will have learned something; maybe how to do it better. Have fun, Carl Forde	[reply]
