<b>(colors darkly!)</b> I guess I misunderstood the requirement for <b>- -</b> votes as a guideline whose applicability was subject to a janitor's discretion.
<p>Still, that raises a question, in my feeble brain: NTC says:</p>
<blockquote><tt> Janitors only honor a consideration when it is consistent with site policy and doesn't conflict with their own judgement, regardless of how many 'edit' votes it has. When the appropriateness of a consideration is less clear, patience is preferred over haste.</tt></blockquote>
<p>...which led this non-janitor to believe janitors have some discretion about the rule you cite.</p>
<p>And if I misunderstood the rule, does that not mean the (potential) loss of XP for an actual service is -- in your earlier (and well-considered) phrase, "<tt>noise that should be avoided</tt>?"
