why is the karma of the top 10 not listed on that page along with the others? Seems like an odd omission since you can easily find out the karma for each person

- tptacek 4y agoIt may have been a compromise from my request that we replace numeric karma scores with something like "lots" after some threshold.
- jdthedisciple 4y agowhy would you want to do that? genuinely curious
- tptacek 4y agoBecause high karma scores are mostly just embarrassing.
- kergonath 4y agoNot the OP, but I see 2 reasons: - avoid a competition that encourages people to just farm karma, which adds noise; - avoid a kind of argument from authority, where some people get more influence than their points deserve just because they are high on the table.
- ayewo 4y agoKarma scores used to be visible next to each username in the leaderboard. Somewhere down the line, I believe dang hid it, but I forget the reason why.
- jb1991 4y agoit's odd because all you have to do is click on the name to see the karma, so why not just list it along with the other 90 names and scores visibly shown on the page?
