I can't look at the reputations without voting, and I can't knowledgably vote.

You can knowledgably vote by reading the posts and deciding on their own merit which you choose to ++ or --.

However, I do think you raised a good point. How do I know what the most 'respected' answers to a question are? The trend is that good answers have higher reps than the noise, and bad answers.

Maybe an option to sort answers based on rep (in User Settings (which it is in now), and a button on root nodes) would be good. We wouldn't see the reps (unless you voted on it) but you would know what others thought were the best.

Cheers,
KM

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
