Is there any setting/userscript/extension available to disable/remove all reputation, badges and badge notifications from the stackoverflow interface?
It just clutters the interface for me and I don't see the point in having them.
Activity on sites like stackoverflow as someone that answers questions should be purely altruistic anyway ;)
In addition to the greasemonkey script mentioned in the answers I'm also using this userscript in Opera
if(/(stackoverflow|superuser|serverfault)\.com$/.test(location.hostname)){
opera.addEventListener('BeforeScript', function(e){
var o = document.getElementById('notify-container')
if(o){
o.style.display = 'none';
removeEventListener.call(opera, 'BeforeScript', arguments.callee, false);
}
}, false);
}
