I know this is probably a cheap ploy to make me vote

It's not a cheap ploy to get you to vote. It's a way to avoid "bandwagon" voting. Rather than upvote or downvote based upon the decision of others, you should be voting strictly upon your subjective opinion of the node's merits.

Of course, if you check out Best Nodes or Worst Nodes, you can see some of the extreme reputations that nodes have earned for the day, week and all time.

Cheers,
