Re^9: We should elminate: Anonymous, and DOWN-voting

In real life, you get one vote for each ballot measure, each office ... same as here, one vote per node, fair and democratic

Partially true. You get to have *at most one* vote per node. But I cannot vote on every node - I only get a limited number of votes per day. And some people get more; some people get less. That's not the case in real life (well, at least not for public offices). We've done away with the "number of votes scales with the amount of taxes you pay" quite some time ago.

I seldomly vote, and don't give a rats ass about XP. I don't care much at all about Perlmonks voting and XP system, just don't try to compare it to "real life". It doesn't compare.

We've done away with the "number of votes scales with the amount of taxes you pay" quite some time ago. Not quite. Having more votes mean you participate in more elections, your vallots are larger . You still vote for one node at a time. I seldomly vote, and don't give a rats ass about XP. I don't care much at all about Perlmonks voting and XP system, just don't try to compare it to "real life". It doesn't compare. Sure it does. An analogy is never 100%, but it does compare.	[reply]
