I think it would be good to keep hiding comment scores for new topics and then after a few hours show them... I like sometimes revisiting old topics and in those cases, having the comment scores helps a lot for skimming and finding informat

I was being sarcastic when I said that it was secure.... It's true that sometimes having very secure banks can be a pain... But, I would much rather have a bank that is very secure and a bit of a pain to sometimes access compared to a bank
