I would appreciate an option to hide the number of votes that posts have. Maybe not hide entirely, but set them to only display at the bottom of a post, and not at the top nor on the front page. With the way votes are currently displayed, I think I’m getting biased for/against certain posts before I even read them, just based on the number of votes they have.
Yeah, this was originally known as “Anti-Kibitzer” on the old LessWrong. It isn’t something we prioritized, but I think greaterwrong has an implementation of it. Though it would also be pretty easy to create a stylish script for it (this hides it on the frontpage, and makes the color white on the post-page, requiring you to select the text to see the score):

Oh, good idea! I don’t have Stylish installed, but I have something similar, and I was able to hide it that way. Thanks!
Can you share it?
Sure. The Firefox plugin is Custom Style Sheet and the code is as follows:
Thanks!
Presumably you’d prefer them not to appear in post-list-items as well? (i.e. on the frontpage?)
Right:
:)
ah, whoops.
