Re: Notification of XP increase has gone wild (maybe)

I can see that a certain monk has upvoted 750 of your nodes in the last 30 days. This is a monk with lots of votes to spend, meaning they're already pretty high level, so I'm not sure what their intent is. I hope they see this, and will take my advice to go read RFC: Policy regarding abuses of the voting system. I am a little concerned, because this monk upvoted a ©ertain ®ecent troll over 1,110 times, and downvoted them a mere 60 times. To me, that pattern casts a shadow of suspicion on their motivations.

I suspect that LanX's theory here is a likely explanation.	[reply]

Hmm ... there are actually a handful of obvious suspects in Saints in our Book ... After some meditation ... I think the only way to "repair" this is to adjust the rep2xp economics. Like only x first votes per day on posts older 4 weeks get a gratification. This might be hard to implement tho ... My incentive to do this would not so much be the rigged saints ranking, but rather the distortion in rep weightings of posts. > I suspect that LanX's theory here is a likely explanation.

I'm not sure I'm in favour of changing the economics. Can you explain to me how the change would make my progress faster? ;-) `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l]

I'm not sure I understand why the economics should need to change: as I understand it, we get these sorts of undesirable results only when someone abuses the system, and there is already a blanket rule against abuse. Changing the economics will not stop the problem of people abusing the system, or of failure to enforce the rule against it.	[reply]
