Choose how to vote on those nodes where you really just want to see the node rep...

Make it an alias for ease of use.

Update: Added alternate versions. Choose the one that matches your style!

perl -e 'die rand(2)%2?"--":"++",$/' perl -e 'die qw(- +)[rand(2)]x2,$/' perl -e 'die rand>.5?"--":"++",$/'

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    Another (pseudo-pseudo-random) way:
    perl -le 'print+time%2?"--":"++"'
    Or if you weren't doing all of your voting at the same time:
    perl -le 'print$$%2?"--":"++"'
    Anyone who has never voted on a node just to see its rep feel free to ignore this one as well, or use the following instead:
    perl -le 'print pack h2h2,b2,b2'

    Please don't!

      Ok, I'll heed that advice this one time. I downvoted you deterministically.
