Interesting idea. It's somehting I've kind of thought about, or rather feared. When I started lo the many weeks ago, I was worried that people wouldn't listen to what I had to say. What reason did they have? I had no "experience". But I knew that I knew my stuff, or at least a good portion of what I think I know ;-). And so I worried, and this wouldn't help to assuage (damn that's spelled funny) that.

On the other hand, it might help those who like to try and dole out votes to the lower level breathren when earned/ appropriate; say over those that are already saints.

Finally, I think the community does a pretty good job of judging the value of posts as it is with regular voting.

• 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.
