1) There are more cheats than that.  They are features.  The reputation isn't a matter of national security.  It is just hidden from casual viewing until you vote the node in a limited attempt to reduce "bandwagon voting" (though I'm getting the impression that seeing the reputation before hand could lead to a lot more "voting against the rep" which would level out reps rather than widening the distribution).
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
2) No, sorry, you got that wrong.  When you run out of votes the voting "buttons" disappear but the reputations of any nodes that you've already voted on are still visible (and I actually stayed up late getting rid of all of my votes to verify that this hasn't changed since the last time I used up all of my votes some dark ages ago q-: ).
&lt;/p&gt;
