Q&A

Welcome to Codidact Meta!

Codidact Meta is the meta-discussion site for the Codidact community network and the Codidact software. Whether you have bug reports or feature requests, support questions or rule discussions that touch the whole network – this is the site for you.

Reputation is disappeared from user's card recently

+3
−0

Not sure exactly when but for some time I don't see r in a user's card. From what I can tell it happens only on Meta and, for example, on SD it is still visible.

An additional context: Heads up: small design changes, a better user card and some long-expected features

Quote from there

From now on, communities can decide, which details are supposed to be shown on it.

I don't remember discussions lately to change the settings to another one here. Was the line with total score is removed purposely or this is a bug?

This was intentional; we're testing out deemphasizing reputation here on Meta. This was a decision by the Codidact Team.

Of course, if it turns out that it's detrimental somehow to not show the reputation number, or if the community decides that they really want it back, it'll be reinstated. But we'd like to find out for a while what it's like having reputation be much less of a focus when you look at a post - for instance, it allows you to judge a post by what it says and not by how much reputation the author has.

It's worth noting that the original plan for Codidact was to not have reputation at all. Since we ended up working off of software that already included reputation, we wound up having it kinda by default. However, we're looking at ways to reduce the importance and prominence of it, and looking into other options for measuring expertise in subject matter (and in how to use the tools of the site).
