Thanks, ww. I was lazy and didn't reread the Voting/Experience System explanation.

Script changed to only deduct 0.5 XP per day as a monk. This makes a meaningful difference in score to certain Monks who were lurkers for a long time and later became active posters -- but that doesn't guarantee an upward change in ranking since everyone else also benefits from the change.

Before:

+--------------------------------------------------------------------- +-----------------+ | Pos | St. | Monk name | XP | Level | Age | XP/Age | +Posts | XP/Posts | +--------------------------------------------------------------------- +-----------------+ | 134 nnn CertainMonk nnnnn Vicar (15) 4,963 0.3876 + 791 2.1024 | +--------------------------------------------------------------------- +-----------------+
After:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------- +-----------------+ | Pos | St. | Monk name | XP | Level | Age | XP/Age | +Posts | XP/Posts | +--------------------------------------------------------------------- +-----------------+ | 139 nnn CertainMonk nnnnn Vicar (15) 4,963 0.9662 + 791 5.2396 | +--------------------------------------------------------------------- +-----------------+

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
