I think the intent of the hack is to help others see what people are saying about your posts. Anybody have any thoughts on this.. is it worth installing? Would it help to keep reputation points on track? Too revealing? Good idea? Bad idea?

Brandon,
I think this might be a good idea, but only if the comment portion is left out (I'll explain this below.) This way, the people can still see what posts someone is getting good/bad reputation for (i.e. they can click on the post and say "hey, that was a good post", or "what was this bozo thinking giving him reputation for THAT garbage"). This will keep it in check somewhat.
I don't like the comment portion (at least not at this stage of the game), since I have put some side messages in the comments that probably wouldn't be appropriate for others to read (I know others have done the same thing). If we want to make comments readable from this point forward, that is one thing - but I wouldn't suggest making them retroactive.
