I agree that XP exerts a profound influences on the way that people interact with the Monastery. XP tempers my interaction with the Monastery positively. The more XP I accumulate, the more I feel obligated to:
  • set a good example by carefully crafting my submissions.
  • participate in routine maintenance.
  • offer more assistance than I request.
I've made some mistakes and felt rather foolish and unworthy, but hey, I'm not a Saint yet. I do the best I can.

As for the negative side of XP/Rep, the only thing that truly bothers me is posting a goose egg (you know, a node that stays at zero rep). Does it bother me when I occasionally get --'d? Yes, but only for a moment. I remind myself that there's no point in dwelling on it. It's going to happen from time to time but the positive will outweigh the negative in the end.

So what does one do to cope besides fulfilling the obligations listed above?

  • Have fun when possible. Let others know that you have a personality and sense of humor.
  • Participate fully exercising your best judgement.
  • Try to learn from the contributions of others.
  • Let the XP fall where they may.
The Monastery cannot help but be enriched.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
