There are actually a few things I would like to see updated in the voting-xp system:
- I want there to be an option for zeroing out my vote. By that I mean if I read something at the top of the Monestary Gates and think I like it and ++ it, then down the page find something even better and more deserving, I cannot un++ the first article without refreshing (lots of Monks live overseas where refreshing takes several minutes). It could either be something weird like check boxes with javascript onchange commands to make them act like radio buttons that could be unselected, or some middle radio button to save/cancel my vote before it is submitted (not afterwords, of course).
- Also, for areas like Seekers of Perl Wisdom, the Monk who started the thread might be given a few extra votes (maybe even SUPER votes) for the reply that was found to be most useful. Sort of a way to reward those who went the extra or best mile.
- And my boss is calling, so I'll end this node now!
- Update Or we could start getting really crazy (e.g., "dumb") and give out XP based on how many poll questions you answer, or better yet, if your vote matches the winner.
- Oh, and we could vote on different home nodes' style and content
- What about extra XP for being on long enough to make it to the top of the "Other users" box?
- And we could give *LOTS* of experience to people who nonsensically update their posts because they are sitting at their keyboard and are bored....
Please ignore everything following the word "Update." Thank you--the management
I should burn some of this code into firmware. Then I'd be a Chip Monk.

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.
