in thread Reputation for anonymous monks

One of us is missing the other's point. I was saying that you can be cookied for your own account with .org, cookied for the other with .net, and non-cookied with .com, so any solution involving accounts is not going to be any hinderance at all.

    "My idea, therefore, is to reverse the current system so that if a monk logs in anonymously then the reputation of each node is visible"

    I think what johnnyfolk is saying (and you are missing) is that viewing the node reputation when logged out would be desirable, and being able to view the node rep this easily is a "good thing"™.

      Then it makes no sense to have reputation hidden when logged in under an account, because it's too easy to get that information; which, incidentally, is what I said in my first post.

        Right.

        You both said it would be easy to see node reps this way. The difference is that he thought it's a good idea to easily see this information, and you disagree.

        BTW, if a monk were allowed to see the node rep, what would be the benefit of making it difficult to see?
