Re: Bestowing blessings upon monks?

There are actually a few things I would like to see updated in the voting-xp system:

I want there to be an option for zeroing out my vote. By that I mean if I read something at the top of the Monestary Gates and think I like it and ++ it, then down the page find something even better and more deserving, I cannot un++ the first article without refreshing (lots of Monks live overseas where refreshing takes several minutes). It could either be something weird like check boxes with javascript onchange commands to make them act like radio buttons that could be unselected, or some middle radio button to save/cancel my vote before it is submitted (not afterwords, of course).
Also, for areas like Seekers of Perl Wisdom, the Monk who started the thread might be given a few extra votes (maybe even SUPER votes) for the reply that was found to be most useful. Sort of a way to reward those who went the extra or best mile.
And my boss is calling, so I'll end this node now!
Update Or we could start getting really crazy (e.g., "dumb") and give out XP based on how many poll questions you answer, or better yet, if your vote matches the winner.
Oh, and we could vote on different home nodes' style and content
What about extra XP for being on long enough to make it to the top of the "Other users" box?
And we could give *LOTS* of experience to people who nonsensically update their posts because they are sitting at their keyboard and are bored....

Please ignore everything following the word "Update." Thank you--the management

I should burn some of this code into firmware. Then I'd be a Chip Monk.

Hey, you've done this before! I like learning new things. Sorry I'm out of scratches for the day. But if you were able to bless this with some super upvotes, when I hit level four I could have some more scratches for you! (It's just a joke).	[reply]
