    I don't like this idea. I have already moved a lot higher in the ranks than my PERL knowledge alone would allow, simply by voting for nodes I like. Making it easier to gain points will make it much harder to tell the learned with little time to vote from the learners (like me) with a lot of time to vote.

      I dunno, I feel like I've learned a lot just from reading other posts... I don't really care if I get XP or anything for it... my learning will come back in my answers and in my code.

    Seems like this would be too hard to measure and keep track of to be honest. There are plenty of opportunities to gain XP as it is. If it were too easy to gain the high levels then it would render them meaningless.

    Just some not well-thought out idea, similar to this one. I've been thinking not about points for reading other user's posts, but points given for going through tutorials and completing the exercises.
