I think that's officially my most upvoted post now.

Make sure you remember, because if you forget, you won't be able to find it again.   :P

Re-posting this, since I fear it may have gotten lost in the middle of the "yet another bitch-fest about the merits and flaws of any given internet respect / kudos / karma type system" argument.

I'm curious if it can be made so that you can see the respect count when going through an account's "show posts" area.

I am just really wondering if there is the kind of 'switch' for this as there is for us not being able to see respect in PbP. Because if we could see respect in that listing of our posts, then it would be much easier to find which ones got respect.

All right, well, it looks like I'm dredging up something everyone else is finished with, but I'd like to talk about the merits of the money analogies. 

Using money as a stand-in for votes, we're not considering having a $100 bill or $100 in pennies.  We're considering a person who has both a $100 bill and $100 dollars in pennies.  The question is, which better sums up the state of this man's finances: “he has 200 dollars,” or “his largest bill is a hundred.” 

I'd also like to point out that our current system is a hybrid of quantity and quality.  A system of pure quantity would show the total number of up-voted posts with the number of up-votes on any give post being irrelevant.  In the money analogy, it would be “he has 101 pieces of currency.”

More accurately, it was never there from the start. Giving respect is disabled for posts in the PbP section.

Which is probably a good thing, because Sneaky_Sable's awesomeness would have broken the system by now.  :clap

I think that's just a side effect of it being disabled. As far as I know, it can't really be helped.
