Overall if you want to award points, I think I'd rather see them awarded purely for number of posts. At least there's no judgment involved in that.
And to be honest, if this were done, I'd probably opt for seeing as much information as I could. Yes, it might lead to hurt feelings for me, or angry feelings on my part towards the original poster, on my behalf or the behalf of others. But if the information is going to be there for the world to see, I just as well know the worst or best myself. Yes, it might change my feelings about other posters. But oddly enough, not in the way you seem to wish. Although I'm guessing you have some positive spin on how it can be helpful to know whether original posters share my values or have different ones altogether on a topic that is near and dear to my heart. You always seem to have positive spin on the most surprising (to me of course) things.
