Nicely said. As for "making the aggregated accept rate completely unaccessible" that's not 100% true, we can still see the users questions list and have rough estimation of the accept rate, especially when it's very low. It's just not easily accessible anymore. :)

@ShaWizDowArd - I said "aggregated" because I knew I could still derive it from their reputation history or going through their question pages. It is not private information. We just made a big change in its presentation.

You're basing quite a lot of your analysis of the outcome of accept-rate removal on the (extraordinary) behaviour of a single user. Your last paragraph seems to be the most important. We need far more evidence than (what now seems to be) a single instance of strange behaviour.

"The user appears to be a cooperating citizen who distinguishes good and bad content and is willing to take actions to provide feedback in some cases." He appears so, but he's already made it clear himself that this was due to oscillation. It's right at the bottom.

@BoltClock'saUnicorn - answer edited to reflect that.

@Bart - I agree with you, but I don't agree with the use of the word "rage" in most answers to this question, which is why I answered. See the answer by LessPos_MoreFizz for a much less extraordinary instance. Neither of the two examples we have is well described by the word "rage".
