This is not a bug, it's a feature :). You may only vote once on an individual node, and after you've voted, you get to see the node's reputation

cheers
Update: Please use relative links when referring to nodes on perlmonks - see Guide to the Monastery, Perl Monks Site FAQ, Site How To, for further info.
