I find this to be a really disappointing and needlessly complicated choice. Rather than allow us to check what's been approved in one location we have to check for new comments across two posts and wonder about what people who don't bother commenting have done? I can't think of a single exchange I've seen in the last year that hid nominations.

I was excited to try this exchange this year but I don't think I'll be participating if you're deliberately making it harder to maximize request and offer options.
