Re^3: Down-vote Bad, Up-vote Good (participation)

If you did place your votes thoughtfully and judiciously, then your experience did raise over the time. You read a lot of materian and you thought about it. How could it not have affected your experience? ;-)

I would say that in your case the ploy worked great. It's hard to measure experience, just like it's hard to measure quality. That's why we have at least XP and kwalitee. It can be measured and even being what it is, it's still a useful first aproximation.

Actually I do not care about gaining XP since the way it is if its 0 or 6000 it's the same thing. In RPG games greater XP means I can cast a spell while a low XP means that I just can carry a dagger!! This distinction does not apply here and it should stay like that But you do miss the point;I am not complain about XP but about people that offload votes for XP who don't seem to look at it from the same prespective as you do;For them it is either a joke or on the other hand carries a great meaning to them 'image' wise. All well but the true victim here is the author of a post who does not get credited correctly;and I am not talking about my posts,my posts are a drop in the ocean.I'm talking about people like Javafan. I do not offload votes and many times I do not vote at all knowing that this way my XP will not increase, but I do gain experience by helping other people out or getting helped by other people and I really do not need XP for doing that	[reply]
