Great responses from all, many thanks! I'll do a general response here instead of having lots of small responses individually. See below for some re-thinking on my part.
johngg and moritz Advocate finding an existing node to ++ This is a good solution (that I didn't think of... duh!), and may end up being what I adopt.
I agree with the general want to avoid -- in this way (and other implied abuse). I didn't intend to advocate a --.
Voting on a monk's home node, for a possible "most useful home nodes" link is an interesting idea, but wasn't my original intention. Nice suggestion johnlawrence!
liverpole makes a great point about where the real reward is (I agree wholeheartedly), and maybe my intended suggestion will fizzle in front of this (which is ok), as the discussion progresses.
Many thanks to clinton and jdporter for explaining about Karma, I had no idea...
Position Clairification: Upon reflection, I suspect I was really asking for more of a thank you instead of a ++.
A thank you doesn't (necessarily) imply access to an inverse function, and fits in more with what my original thinking was. I would envision a simple thanks button on the home node, that each user is allowed to hit, say, once per day per homenode (and it uses a vote). Perhaps there is also a 35-Character (or so) text box that can describe what the thanks is for (this could be abused with sarcasm though).
When you get a thanks, you have the same chance for getting XP as when someone ++'s you, and maybe your home node shows a tally of your thank's-es.
Just my thoughts...
