in reply to XP Propagation to root node

I don't think so. Say the root is troll-ish and someone rebukes them and gets a high rep node for it. Should the troll get XP?

    That's a good point. My idea isn't really well thought out at this point.

    For someone whose initial post gives rise to some great discussion, this idea makes sense. If the initial post is a troll .. the propagated XP would to some extent mitigate the negative XP from the root node.

    Kind of looks like a solution looking for a problem, doesn't it?

      I also think it would be yet another way to XP whore. Just ask popular questions and watch the XP roll in!

        That's how it works now anyway. The Best Nodes of Last Week are usually nodes that ask a good question.
