Votebot users are dumb.

During a moment of epiphany it struck me: Votebot users are dumb! Altho Perl programmers are by definition smart, there are dumb people too.

Instead of having loads of dummy users downvoting respectable monks who do *un-1337* stuff, they should be upvoting their own nodes. That way they won't have pissed off monks hunting em down like rabbits and their XP would grow rapidly (while their IQ probably never changes). At some point it would obviously show that crappy nodes are getting ++'ed like hell and vroom will get into his serious hand-slapping mode.

Ofcourse we shouldn't run off and contact the world press, it's just my E0.02

If I have 500 nodes, and create 10 dummy users, I can only increase my total rep by 5000, and my XP by maybe 20% of that. Whereas, if I vote all my nodes up, and everyone elses down, I'm gaining XP for the vote, and decreasing your XP, which puts me closer to 'level vroom', and above you in the 'Other Users' box. And what exactly is a 'respectable monk who does un-1337 stuff'? --Chris e-mail jcwren	[reply]

I wouldnt go so far as to call a user dumb... A problem a lot of people have, is that they call someone "dumb" and have nothing to back it up with. In this case, I would call them "greedy" or in the status quo, I would call them "vengeful" but I wouldnt go so far as to call someone dumb. They found a loophole, and exploited it. So they are exploiters. Watch what you call people, and always stand ready to back up your statements, because people can and will always associate what you say with who you are. _________________________________________ E-Bitch Tempora Mutantur Nos et Mutamur in Illis "The Times are Changed Even as We are Changed in Them"	[reply]
