Here's an idea: let the experience of the post be determined, in part, by the average experience of the totality of posts made by the poster. That way, not only will experience gained from a post be determined by the average post in the monastery, but by the average post of the poster. That way, if someone is improving: writing better code, making better suggestions, each post will give them slightly more XP. If they are just posting many times, it will have less of an effect. Obviously, a breakpoint would have to be set, so that those with a very high signal/noise (high XP on every node) ratio don't get hurt simply because, though their posts are good, they are not better in comparison with their previous ones. Any thoughts?
