That is, it requires two of your votes but doesn't give anyone any XP.

Why? That would restrict its usefulness and discourage people from using it. Why would Mr. Noo B. Monk waste two votes for no XP when he could waste one vote and perhaps get XP by voting randomly on the node? In order from most to least preferred, I think it should not cost votes, it should be the same as a regular vote, or it should be the same as a regular vote without the chance for XP.

We should also change "+=0" to something less ambiguous like "no vote".

I very much agree with that.
