update:
(line change as suggested by grandfather :)
Here we go again on the most discussed non Perl issue on this site: voting and XP...

In some nodes, i see an answer that i don't want to ++, but i want to double ++ it.
In such a case, the monk has done such a great deal in taking time to answer a question or solving a difficult problem, that i find it hard to be only capable of 'rewarding' a single upvote.

Would it not be possible to make a +++ vote (or something like that), that costs you 2 voting points, and that the rep of the node goes up by 2.
For the xp of the monk, he/she would not be rewarded by e.g. 25 % chance of gaining XP, but for 30%.
That could (possible) as well lead to longer and (perhaps?) better answers than the one-liners as 'look on cpan' (although sometimes totally correct :) ), but also to the effort for great answers to questions where we all try to get +++ as much as possible (because we all know that XP is a way of life :) ).

Anyway, thanks for your opinions so far, indeed, davido made a good point here, but anyway, i wasn't thinking of unlimited voting on a node, but to something like (+++, ++, --).
How the exact working is done of the +++ is a suggestion, perhaps as davido said, not a rep doubler, but a message from root in your chatterbox like 'Monk xxx just +++ed your node', but all else is like the 'normal' ++?

Like GrandFather said, and i fully agree: An answer can be esteemed ten times more than another, why not be allowed to express that.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
