I would therefore be in favor of being able to "ask" for the Reputation of the node. Such a request would cost me one vote and never change the Reputation of the node.

I have to say that this is one of the most interesting twists on the voting/rep/xp subject that I've seen in a long time. There have been many nodes where I would have gladly given up my ability to vote for the node (and a vote from my store) to see the rep. In a sense its like casting a "no-vote" or spoiling your ballot.

I hope this idea gets implemented and if I find the time I'll be sure to look into making a patch.
