Many replies seem to have missed the point that the proposal is for a heads up ahead of voting to avoid feeding trolls and to avoid wasting a vote on a node that has already received a hamering.

I guess for symetry you could set a "Billy Goat" (just to pick a name at random) threshold for highly rated nodes.

There are good reasons for not showing the rep for a node before you have voted on it. OP is not proposing a change to that. It is a change that you could adopt or not as you wish. It will have little effect on the normal operation of PerlMonks, and can lead to a large reduction in Troll like activity. Where's the down side?

P.S. I presume all the down voters in this thead are Trolls themselves :-)
