Discourse is trying to focus on content and meaningful discussion, rather than showcasing stats and personal flair (signatures,postcount,reputation etc.)

The quality of discussions is Discourse’ core mission.  
Everything else should either be supportive of the discussion, get out of the way, or be removed.

At least that is my understanding of the Discourse philosophy.
