There's also reply ordering, which essentially achieves the same goal as what you want, by pushing the "worse" nodes down.

I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.

    Hello jdporter and thanks for the attention,

    Personally I never used this feature and for sure is not used by newcomers and surely cannot be used when browsing anonymously the site.

    The reply ordering is yet another thing in PM that make almost evident better nodes, so the cited policy aimed to conceal reputation of nodes you not voted is already full of exceptions: never read about this policy anyway; it is implicitly derived from the behaviour of the voting system, not a policy.

    As you taken the time to answer can you tell me if an automatic font decrease as I described is implementable?

    thanks

      It's now the default ordering. See Tidings around Jul 07, 2015.

      ($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-||-|5+lengthSq)`"S|oS2"`map{chr |+ord
}map{substrSq`S_+|`|}3E|-|`7**2-3:)=~y+S|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a,
