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?

I personally like the idea of this. Since reputation points can be given for any type of post, not just technical, it would be helpful to someone like myself who only knows of the "big guns" around here (in spite of roaming the forums for several years) to determine if the person giving requested advice knows what they are talking about.
For example, I noticed one post a while back that was asking about the author being a 16 year old engineer. The response was that the person was the "engineer" for his team because he designed various parts for the robot. Since the respondent had "engineer" under "Team Role", I would have no way of determining if any future advice from this person was worth adhering to without being able to see other people's comments about previous technical advice given.
For those that have said "I've made comments that I don't want posted publicly," my response is to start using the PMs again or think about how you can constructively criticize the person.
