There have been several post in the past asking for more votes or an easier way to gain xp. Most of the time it is just people who make a game out of gaining xp, and want to become a saint faster then anyone else. These same people usually don't post much that is usefull to perlmonks and see voting as the only/main way to gain xp. So, even if you have good intentions about asking, it has become a taboo suject around here.
