Like the idea of the XP. It's a nice feature and stimulates the people top post.
Actually when there's no extra stimulans to vote: NOBODY WILL VOTE!! Except some people.
Now more people are voting an are stimulated in doing so.
No system is perfect!! When dealing with people there will always be people who try to find holes are using things for the wrong reasons.
Considering I only joined a few days ago, with the XP I feel part of the monks. And I think that's the general idea of the perlmonks.

Think the system is just fine like it is.
