Kudos sort on AO3

[petronia]

Good idea in the short run, bad idea in the long run -- not for social reasons, but because it'll probably make incumbent advantage more advantageous to the point of reducing the value of the peer review itself. I mean, there are forces that work against that too, and everyone has their compensation heuristics, but it's not necessary.

EDIT -- working it through... before this you had to sort by hits, then scan down the page for kudos/hits ratio, which is more indicative than either metric by itself (baseline also differs by fandom size, fandom maturity, and fandom who-the-heck-knows, but all this is heuristic). Geez I have to get off the computer though

Actually the existence of private bookmarks WILL show to the author but you can only tell by comparing the numbers between your statistics and the public record, so to speak, so this is probably more trouble than it's worth. XD (I only realised this because of the discrepancy on one of my recent stories)
