I'm new here so I think this interesting. Surely the vote value will always go down over time if the Monastery grows?
So far I noticed I have a vote surplus, I used 2 yesterday and
3 today (I'm normally pretty neutral). You're not going to tell me I only get 8 votes _ever_ are you? So where are the surplus votes going? Probably to /dev/null unless corrupt Abbots are trading them behind the herb gardens. If I am typical and there's a vote surplus doesn't $NORM depend only
on voter activity? Also whats the relationship between votes cast and reputation? I gave you a vote and you got 10 points.
If everybody has 1 vote to give and gave it then $NORM would be 10 exactly right? The 0.24 variance is votes that went down the plughole? So I'm guessing votes are a kind of accumlatable currency of value. Wanna buy some votes, maybe I know a guy who knows a guy who has some spare? :)

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).
