O tempora! O mores! Perlmonkus haec intelligit... I hold the truth to be self-evident that all nodes are not created equal. The most knowledgeable writers should have their nodes upvoted, not those who appeal excessively (and I mean, excessively) to the more knowledgeable. Nor those who fail to acknowledge their sources. If a writer uses somebody else's code, he or she had better give it an appropriate citation, or otherwise it's blatant plagiarism. Additionally, the writer should have the source's permission to reprint it, or otherwise it's piracy. It's important that nodes get upvoted and downvoted appropriately so that the undeserving do not obtain XP. Furthermore, I don't know if advice about upvoting and downvoting can be taken too seriously from the Worst Nodes Upvoter... The name says it all. -100104
