I ask for your observation / experiences re:

XPs and voting ONE node at a time versus voting for MULTIPLE nodes (original node and replies) at a time.

(this is without regard of others voting on your nodes)

I have noticed that when voting on more than one node at a time that the "25% chance of +1 every time you vote" appears to occur on the group of votes as a whole, not as a 25% chance of +1 on each node ++ -- when voting...

Doesn't this seem to penalize those of us who find an interesting thread to vote on...

I don't particular care to ++ -- vote a single node at a time (especially when having 8, 12, 16+ votes) ...

Does this appear to be your experience as well ?

Would it be possible to update the voting system to award XPs based on number of nodes voted on rather than the number of times I hit the 'Vote' button ... ?

Your thoughts ...
