in thread XP for Consideration

Actually consideration for restoring content is one of the things most likely to be acted on quickly, where the original content is available anyway.

I don't see offering XP as an incentive to consider nodes as being good at all. There may be a small virtue in XP as an incentive to vote on considerations, but I suspect that's unlikely to happen and if implement it would be as an incentive to get new monks involved rather than try to re-educate experienced monks.

And yes, it could be abused by XP gamers so on balance personally I'd leave well enough alone.

True laziness is hard work

    I always assumed it was begin stored int he database? Not true? That would explain a lot.

    I should clarify -- I was really thinking of Nodes to Consider as voting on Consideration. I do not check on Nodes to Consider anymore, but I do still vote on nodes being Considered in threads I am reading. And if a node deserves to be Considered then I will act upon that as well -- just very few I catch before someone else does. Anyway, I did not do a good job drawing a distinction between Nodes to Consider and Consideration in general and I wanted to apologize for any confusion or ruffled feathers that may have caused.

    As for XP, I think Consideration and voting should be altruistic actions.
