Would be nice, but I would guess, most of us are Gen X or shortly after. I think there is a 13 year old kid on here, DiddlyDawg, or something. It would be nice to know. I agree.


I'm talking about those posters who lecture on the great questions of the day, as seen from their lofty perch as college sophmores.

Millennials are easily a plurality of posters if not an outright majority. It makes sense because the older half of them would have been college aged when this place took off.

I used to post on another forum that did that. Made it easier to sift through the bullshite.

You could also see who upvoted and downvoted you.

Basically like Karma on Reddit.
I think it would be a good feature.
Would not be good for OweO and Walt though

I think I got downvoted a lot in one of Ib Freemams threads for arguing that tariffs are taxes on your own citizens.



But, really, those are the downvotes that make you feel good because you know you're right

A lot of other boards seem to offer reputation scores or a number of upvotes/likes displayed for each user but it's kind of shitty for newer people. That said, it'd be fun to see my counts, though they're assuredly in the red.

I would support your total number of upvotes and downvotes being viewable only to you and the admins but it can't be visible to other regular posters because that would lead to way too many call out posts.

Reddit Karma sucks. I never want to see that system where votes affect a post's placement in use here.

I would prefer no voting at all. But if we've got to have it, let's know who's doing it.

I looked at my last 20 posts. The tally:

180 Upvotes
7 Downvotes

So as far as your new feature suggestion goes:

Of course. Each post has a visual record that's reflecting the recorded data and each post is tagged with it's creator.

It's just a matter of writing the query to pull them all together in aggregate.

There ought to be a blinking number next to your name for the number of times you've upvoted your own posts.

A (female dominated) board I used to frequent briefly allowed users to see how people were rating posts after an update. It caused so much drama. It was great.
