| Jul 28, 2014 at 16:56 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | While I agree with most of this answer, I am strongly against having an indication of the existence of annotations that is always visible on the user's productions. I want to be able to at least try to evaluate an issue on its own merits, without being unduly influenced by the user's history. Annotations should only visible if I choose to dig further (e.g. clicking through to the user's profile, which does display an indicator for moderator annotations). Having something always visible would also mean a risk of leaks through screenshots. I might be ok with an indicator in a tooltip. | |

| Jul 28, 2014 at 16:33 | comment | added | fredley | @MonicaCellio No! Caching is not the answer. Caching is never the answer. Caching is the problem. Is caching the problem? Yes. See no c̛achi̸ng̛, hear no cach͞in̷g, spe̴͜ak̨ ̸̧͜n̨̡͢ǫ͢ ̸͟͡càćh̢̛í̸͜n̷͜g̵. | |
| Jul 28, 2014 at 16:29 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | @fredley good point, though this would actually be a place where caching would be just fine. I think it's reasonable to expect mods to remember that somebody just got annotated ten minutes ago... | |
| Jul 28, 2014 at 16:25 | comment | added | fredley | I'm guessing a dev will come along and grumble about database calls at some point. Neat idea though. | |
