Having a voting/experience system will be a good thing...I think the structure vroom's got now is going to be fairly okay at keeping down XP-whores and encouraging valuable community participation. But I also think that the real value of the site is that if a person asks a (well-framed) question, there is at least one answer posted even before the question gets to the gates. It's a faster and better way of getting information than newsgroups and IRC, and way easier on the ego than asking Tom Christiansen.

Which is why I support chromatic in the idea of extra rewards for good answers. I don't care about particulars of implementation, but I think it is important. Funny poll comments just should not be worth as much as excellent answers.
