Will ratings from the OP be eventually shown on the thread view again?

It's really the only feature I personally miss from the old design. I would usually just visit the videos sub-forum and visit new threads based on ratings.

Here's what I mean for reference, just makes it easier to quickly browse for content which might be worth looking at imo.
Please bring it back
This was one of the easiest ways for me to sort between general "clutter" in SH and Videos, and what the actual top pieces were. One of those things you don't really realize you use until it's already gone.
Dumb rating was really useful for the videos section, It was nice to know when to not bother to open a thread.
Yeah, I was just thinking about this while browsing video section. Early warning for dumb videos.
This was the main reason I liked to visit the Videos sub. In General discussion it is not really needed because the OP doesn't matter as much as the discussion, but for one-time posts like videos it is super useful.
It would be lovely if we could also bring back thread icons for News Node
Showing the OP ratings on front page gave browsing the forums a human touch. It summarizes the general feel of a post so that you can sift through the shit and tune in to the good stuff. If you see 60 funny emotes, then you know it's worth checking out. It would also be cool if the post's background color looked a little more green or red depending on the positivity/negativity of the OP reactions, but that's just me. It doesn't need to be added, it would be abused, it would be biased, and worst of all Facepunch would look like the stock market. Still, seeing the reactions really helps you pick out the s p i c c y threads.
