At least you have a system. I suspect many vote for the sake of voting(xp whoring). Doesn't sound like fun to me. Sounds rather negative actually. Glad you enjoy it though :)	[reply]

Way to go quoting me out of context. The previous node said "Why would it make a difference? XP doesn't matter, right?" Seeking Green geeks in Minnesota	[reply]

No it actually doesn't matter. People get too concerned over titles/levels and XP. It is the same all over. A game site I am on, people rush to get the highest level and get rather violent if posts get deleted, or they loose levels. As I have said there and vroom has said here "A million XPs and a cup of coffee gets you a cup of coffee" What I am calling is the voting for the xp is when you see a post that basically says "Yea you're right" and it has 10 votes. Heck, Merlyn can make a strange post and he would probably get 15 points for it. My only gripe about the XP whoring is the fact they rush to get bad posts(ie --'d heavily) removed. Sometimes these posts can actually teach things.	[reply]
