:( Who else is unhappy that XP comments are now showing up in the post?

I kind of liked it better when the comments were private. It sort of meant more in a weird way. It made it nice to know that someone appreciated what you said enough that they bothered to tell you by giving XP (even though nobody else would know about it). That's just my thoughts about it.

Not a big fan of the XP comments.

On a somewhat related note, I also strongly dislike toe possibility of negative rep. I can see very little purpose to it, except to wage feuds between posters.

As a note, I'm pretty sure Morrus agrees with you. It was there for a very short time when the system was first implemented, and then they got rid of it.

Cheers!

I thought I had seen it listed as a feature for silver subscriptions, but I can't find it now... did I dream it?

Stranger things have happened. Incitatus, for one.

Giving negrep to the emperor might be a really bad idea...

I agree with this. Giving XP in my opinion is for showing approval of the person's post to that person. Not for simple "me too" posts.

Hence why I quoted Oryan77 instead of XP. Two different things in my mind.

And that particular Emperor? Oh, boy! Bad idea doesn't come close...

Cheers!

Put me down as another vote for the "drop-down" or quasi-hidden comments that you can see if you want to but that don't get in the way otherwise.

The whole XP idea might best be looked at in terms of 'less is more' - they weren't around at all not so long ago and things worked fine then too - I'd prefer if they not become *too* front-and-center.

I actually LIKE xp comments in the post. Saves me the effort of posting to say "+1 rep for (such and such)."
