Folks-
I've been following the discussion both here and in A request from level 21 over the past couple days, and have these thoughts to offer: 1.) Although I enjoy seeing the level in parenthesis next to an authors name (one of my current favorites is Zen (Friar) - sounds like an enlightened poultry item :-) I too find myself focusing on the level of the poster and having that influence my expectations, before ever reading the article. Also, not preserving the level of the author at authoring time seems to be a valid issue to me. I would reluctantly vote to put things back the way they were. 2.) My original intent was to provide a mechanism to warn folks like me, that the poster currently requires penance (however I can also see an argument for indicating that the author required penance at posting time). Although some of the suggested implementations (including mine) may not be the best solution, I believe the goal still is a worthwhile one, and would like to continue looking for an acceptable solution with the least amount of bad side-effects. 3.) It was never my intention to make anyone feel uncomfortable by either highlighting or promoting religious themes, or trolls in general. I wonder if maybe the solution might be as simple as putting (Penance) next to an authors name, whenever they post an article while needing penance? I understand that some may think this is helping trolls get what they want, by adding something to their posts - but I think the cost-benefit would be justified (particularly if it was an opt-in thing). ...just my 2 cents. -Craig In reply to Re: Penance Highlighting?
