<ins><p>Update: note that I read [kiat]’s node as suggesting that level indicators be available throughout the site – in particular, including on nodes in threads. This is what my arguments apply to. They do not touch upon [kiat]’s actual request, that this be done only for the Other Users nodelet, where implementing his idea is harmless.</p></ins>
<p>I am strongly opposed to having any indicator of the poster’s level on nodes. I’ve seen what happens on forums which have such indicators – rank whoring is amplified manifold, people use a user’s rank to judge him or his post, off-topic discussions about it ensue in the middle of threads, the works.</p>
<p>My answer is the most emphatic possible <strong>NO</strong>.</p>
