As I come to know monks by their postings, I've been tempted to ask to see the "reputation" scores of their postings without having to vote on them myself -- in hopes of finding gems more easily.

But then... my own "best-scoring" nodes happen to be really trivial, and just scored high because they happened to appear early on a thread that got a lot of readers (because it was such easy reading, I guess).

I thought for a while that the ratio of XP / number of postings might be a good measure, but then I found a friar with only 14 postings -- maybe this person has done a lot of voting, becuase the posts I looked at didn't seem that strong. (Okay, I didn't look at all of them, but I think I saw enough that this person could have had at least one post on the "best nodes of all time" list... but didn't.)
