Somewhat related to the above comments so I’m putting it here:
I wonder if there’s a way to automatically show users’ interest in specific areas via the tagging system, e.g. by showing how many (or how much karma) they have for (1) posts with particular tags, (2) comments on posts with particular tags.
This would mean people don’t have to manually update some sort of interests list.
Downsides include that
maybe it would make people more conscious about where they comment or post, in case it affects their stats and forum identity.
I would guess that lots of features like this sound good in theory but then few people end up using them
