But I can see virtue in encouraging people to be a little more considered in their voting

At that point I realized that I had no idea what the perlmonks rules (regarding voting) actually are.
Are there any ? If so, where ? (I should probably read them ;-)

I had assumed that we were free to vote as we liked - for whatever reason, or even without any reason whatsoever.
I do recall seeing something about losing some XP if one persistently downvoted a specific monk (or specific monks).
However, things that I've seen in the last few days lead to me deduce that repeated down voting of Anonymous Monk will incur no such penalty ??
And that is about the sum of my knowledge on this matter .... sad, but true.

Cheers,
Rob
