The fact that front-paged nodes get more votes convinces me that we have a lot of visitors (it seems, most of our visitors) that primarilly hit the front page. This means that if you don't front-page a node, then most of our members likely won't even know about it. I think only a small fraction of our nodes deserve such obscurity.
Most nodes should be front-paged. We don't want a static front page. The front page size is such that about one day's worth of nodes will fit on it. If we (again) return to rarely front-paging nodes, then we'll (again) have a front page that hardly changes after a week. For more details, see the other threads on front-paging.
I think you are way too worried about XP. Besides, if we front-page nearly every node, then they'll all get lots of XP and we'll all be happy. If we only front-page a few, then the disparity will just get bigger and make you worry more. (:

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).
