Which could be partially addressed by taking most or all of the XP gain out of voting.

I often see multiple posts from someone, decide based on them that he is clueless, then go to his user info only to find that his experience level exceeds mine, for far fewer posts. This is not to say I'm a genius of some sort - I've had some very clue-challenged moments myself - but rewarding voting so heavily is definitely distorting things.

I'll admit to having posted faster than is good to try and get a few votes. I'm not sure of the cure for that, other than self-discipline and humility, both of which I lack.
