in thread Reputation Viewing Option?

vroom has a limited amount of time. It seems to me that it would be a fairly quick hack to just reveal the numbers

A quick hack doesn't mean that it is best for the site though. I would rather keep it as it is than have a quick hack put in just to do something.

Cheers,
KM

    But you've just been arguing for a more lengthy hack that would do just about the same thing...
      I have debated for an addition/change to the system, not a hack. If it ended up being a hack, that would be the choice of who programs it.

      that would do just about the same thing...

      Yes, about the same thing, but not the same.

      I'd be interested in vrooms opinion, or the opinions of others beside you and swiftone (which we have no agreed to disagree).

        Here's another opinion.

        I wouldn't use the option of a non-vote, because I don't really care about a post's reputation. Besides, I like to be able to later vote something up after I come to understand what the post is talking about. But I wouldn't mind if the option existed, because as I understand it, the person is forfeiting the opportunity to vote on that post in the future, so it wouldn't generate 'me too' voting.

        I think the part I've felt most strongly about are the stars and other pictures, and what I think about them is Yuck! :P Although if they could be disabled then I wouldn't care because it would be a lot like the sort by reputation option which I don't use. It would be fairly easy to get the proper amount of stars by just keeping track of what NORM was on the day that it was posted.

        Well I think I'll agree with swiftone then on agreeing to disagree and agree with you on seeing if anyone else cares one way or the other about any of this. :)
