in thread Node Rep - A newbies viewpoint

Hi. :) You do know that you can sort nodes by reputation, right? That way, you can estimate what the reputation is without having to vote.

I've been here for 4 years now and i see no reason to fix what is not broken -- our voting system. If you are always helpful and never show off your ego then you will only rarely receive negative votes. It really is more of a moderation system in disguise than a ratings system, i think, and it works well. While i don't have any "mega" XP nodes, i do have a solid "portfolio". That's good enough for me. :)

    Actually, no! So I looked around some of the help areas here, and did a super search (where I got sidetracked for a looong time reading some very interesting related (kind of) threads), but I didn't find out how to sort.

    If you could provide a link to help on this, I would really appreciate it.

    Perhaps when I check that feature out, it will satisfy the "requirements" of my suggestion.

    But it brings up something else I've been wondering. I've seen lots of links and references to code other monks, who I don't think are members of pmdev, have written to provide various types of statistics or look at the contents of PM in various ways. Is that something any monk can do? Could I then come up with some code that helps me look at PM in a particular way when the inspiration strikes?

    Thanks for all the great comments, everyone!
