--- Comment #8 from WhatamIdoing <[email protected]> --- I've got nothing against prefs settings, but I understand the rationale against making endless prefs settings. So on the assumption that creating another unpopular prefs setting is undesirable (because it would be unpopular), it seems like this should be easily solvable in CSS: Individual users should be able to suppress this by tweaking their CSS files (if, for example, User:Bob felt that seeing User:Alice's edit count or the fact that Alice is a sysop would cause Bob to be biased against Alice). Bob would not, however, be able to prevent Alice from seeing Bob's information—which is appropriate, given that the information is already public and we value transparency. I'm not sure why site admins would object. The information is all available anyway, and I don't think that it would cause performance problems. If the concern was that they (rather paternalistically) thought that their users would all be biased, then presumably it could be suppressed via sitewide CSS. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
