I think this won't happen. It's an obviously good idea.

But.

Moderators, potential moderators and those who work behind the scenes here to
control things want to be quite free to interpret posts and threads and posters
their own way.

A readcount contstrains their freedom to act arbitrarily.

That's one reason why my posts got no comments from any moderators or 'senior'
programmers.

Even technical solutions are political, you see.

I think forget this place. It is beyond redemption.
