This wide-ranging thread has been dormant for a week, so I’d like to try to settle the MVP requirements. Much of the discussion here is longer-term and we should definitely come back to it, but for MVP, here’s what I’m getting from this thread. (See also this one and this one.)
MVP:
- We do not display a reputation number even if we compute one under the hood.
-
We do display upvote/downvote counts on posts.Removed here because there’s a discussion elsewhere about scores and whether it should be raw up/down. - We do display whatever “stats” we’re tracking for privileges on the user profile page. There should be a separate MVP thread for user profiles; this interacts with that.
That’s it. Obviously there are related issues, like how privileges are granted, that need to be settled, but it seems like we are in agreement that a single reputation number is not desirable, though voting is.
If there are no objections within 48 hours, I’ll update the requirements.
