I don't see the problem with having saints with "too few posts". XP is the Frequent Flyer Miles of the monastery, except that you can't redeem them for anything.	[reply]

++ for the analogy of course there is the frustration over the number of times I have tried to redeem my frequent flyer miles for anything useful only to hit some arbitrary rule or blackout date. I would prefer to just get the XP <grin>	[reply]

The former suggestion sounds OK to me, but I think the latter would do more harm than good. An unpopular upvote/downvote != an indiscriminate one. Having people who don't want to lose XP worrying about whether their votes go along with the majority strikes me as a worse situation than having people who so want to gain XP that they're voting indiscriminately doing so.

Actually, I quit voting on nodes, because I reached Level 6 (friar) and didn't feel like I earned that yet. I understand that's not necessarily fair to monks that deserve an upvote, but still...	[reply]

If you realy feel your current XP is more than you deserve then thepen has a solution for you. You can burn off some XP and still give good nodes the ++ they deserve. Or you could just ignore your own XP and vote based on what you think should get a ++ or a -- and forget about your XP and level, at the end of the day what does it matter if you've gained another 10 or so XP.
