The searchyc concern is a good point. Maybe the points could start being displayed a couple of days after the comment was initially posted?

  Points could also go into an invisible field, for the benefit of search engines. Then those hell-bent on seeing people's points could have their greasemonkey script.

    That would immediately bring on a slew of browser extensions/userscripts that unhide them. Not sure if they'd be popular enough te negate the effect.

      It would, but I don't think it would make enough of a difference.

    In which case you might as well have comment points display as a user preference and save some processing cycles.
