Ok, I went back and read your actual suggestion. My problem with it is that it all hangs on the theory (I'd like to see some proof), that people prefer not to vote on AM nodes, when they don't have very many votes to spend. As far as I'm aware, thats not the case. Therefore there is no reason to change the way voting on AM nodes works at all.

The suggestions also hang together with the miscomprehension that reputation of nodes and XP are directly related. They arent. Anonymous Monk does not have/need/get any XP. AMs nodes DO have reputation however. Changing how votes on AMs nodes work would skew the system, they should be regarded in exactly the same light as all other authored nodes.

Does that explain my point of view better?
