...but beyond being pointless, so what? Seriously, what problems would that cause?
(In the best case, it might actually reduce some of the less-substantive echo chamber posts, and just lead to likes on the other guy who said it first.)
That's an interesting point. Maybe this would be as harmless as you think. I'd like to discuss it further.
Suppose we had a per-post Helpful button displaying the total for each post
but not showing any summary data anywhere on FT. Considering just OMNI/PR, what other worst-case scenarios can we think of? Everyone please chime in, because I virtually never visit OMNI/PR. I need the expertise of regular participants there.
Edited to add: Oooooh, I made post 666!
