Re: Re**3: How to whore for XP

Hmmm, well I guess I missed that one (like I missed the whole article, cos my search missed). More seriously though, I don't think that you _can_ frontpage your own nodes...

Indeed, but you can certainly frontpage a node to which you replied. And replies to frontpaged node tend to get much more XP than replies to non-frontpaged nodes. Even if the quality is far less. Which proves again that XP is as useful as random numbers. Abigail	[reply]

You're right, you can't, and I think that's a Good Thing©. However, that post was written a year ago, and according to the faqlet about moderation: "After a long-running debate (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7), the ability to approve and front-page your own nodes was removed. The numbers reference meditations about the topic, the last one being in October of 2001, so until at least the end of October, you still could frontpage your own nodes. As for duplicate posting, eh..there must be a thousand SoPW nodes about why s/// or map() don't work like they expected, meditations a year apart are acceptable. :)	[reply]
