yeah,
I was thinking that it would be cool if next to the exalt button there was a number to show how many likes the post had already gotten.
Might make the exalt button more popular.

you could maybe click the number to show who had exalted...??

Likewise. I don't think the exalt addition is finished though. More of a test run to see how it went before Lego adds more detail? I could be remembering that wrong though.

DCMs also pay attention to the state of the site and think about how to help improve it...
Otherwise we wouldn't be DCMs...

I'd like to see this but I have a strong feeling Lego is already planning this...

You might say that it's
*Puts on glasses*
More than a feeling

Though I have had more than several drinks so there is a small possibility i'm wrong...
Very small...

Well, I actually think contrary to this.... I think Lego's been trying to avoid this to not have any of the +1 Like/Exalt/Thumbs up fights that you get in other places. Trying to avoid the "OMG guise my thread are like the best evar, +1 Exalt pleez!!!111!1!! kay?"

Could just be my imaginings however...

There are a few reasons it has not been implemented yet, and not all are just my lazyness/being busy. The pinnacle of exalting for me is having people use it to help get additional exposure to the the thread or post.

Showing actual counts would definitely increase the popularity of the exalt feature, but the exalt feature is popular enough for the benefits granted by being on the top threads page and home page content feed that I dont need to push it much more than that.

Post exalting is a bit more complicated. You can see the list of popular posts here:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/jforum.page?module=posts&action=listExalted
Quality really only exists in about half of the posts there - the rest are rants or people agreeing with random comments.

Post exalting is still only used for us to promote content to the homepage at the moment, and is not automated anywhere yet.

Showing specific counts would certainly lead to an increase in desire for clicks and rewarding people for their hard work (while nice) is a bit opposite the purpose of people wanting to share great content above all else.

We could implement it and even use it as the basis for a reddit/slashdot karma style system, and we could even make it so your score could only increase. While that is a nice idea on the surface, it would change the dynamic of the community too much as the signal to noise ratio would drastically alter from the inevitable influx of karma whores.

Simply showing the scores of a thread would be interesting to most people, but at the same time it would make it a lot easier to game the system. At the moment I can easily alter exalt counts behind the scenes to prevent or lock out abuse. While I could still do that with visible scores, it would be more work, it would be possible for abusers to spot patterns and weaknesses, etc.

There is enough stuff only for dcm's
If this where to become implemented it should be for everyone.
I would like to see a count but do agree with Lego for being aware of the change in dynamic.

There is however always the option to trail it for a month or two and if it doesnt work things could always return to how they are now.
