I can see how this would seem like a good idea to a new user.

As an oldschooler, I would actually like to be able to hide the metadata. Usernames, vote #'s - all of it.

The points really do matter and greatly influence the content of the website as a whole, unfortunately (that 1% that'd abuse this feature would ruin it)

Trimming out the points values from the userbar could be arranged.

By the way, welcome to Voat. A points change counter would be helpful to users individually, but in the long run would further gamify the site.

It's justifiable to think that these points are a score, but while there's still time, please don't be concerned about S/CCP here. Users concerned about maximizing karma helped contribute to reddit's decline in content quality.
