in reply to Reputation Viewing Option?
Since we're rehashing the issue anyway....
What is the point of reputation? If it is only available to those that vote on it, it seems mostly useless. It should be an indicator of a good post. If I have a question that I seek an answer to, and I find three posts answering it, how do I know which is best (since we're assuming I didn't know the answer to begin with)? I can't look at the reputations without voting, and I can't knowledgably vote.
