I hear you. I also confess to not being totally sure what I want myself, and wanted to hear others peoples opinions on this matter.

However, I can easily see myself in that situation, although not often. The situation might be this: I do not know how to value this post. I wonder if others thought it was any good? I think I can take that as some kind of measure, although I definetely agree that sucky nodes get good rep sometimes, and likewise great nodes get none. But for the most part, nodes probably get what they deserve - if they didn't, why don't we just scratch the whole system - or at least stop displaying the rep even after a vote? I mean, I know what I think... why should I need someone else's opinion?

Don't take me too seriously here, I am just trying to explain why I got the thought at all. I am willing to be convinced it is a bad idea, if it is indeed a bad idea... if so, at least we have decided that it is. *Grin* That might be worth wasting nodespace on by itself... :)

Disagreement is good - without it there would be no new ideas or development at all. :)

You have moved into a dark place.
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
