XP != votes
You don't always get an experience point when somebody upvotes your posts - see Voting/Experience System for more details

I've sometimes seen it happen that I've gotten 1 vote but gained 2 XP. I've noticed this at times that I've kept a close eye on noderep xml ticker. I used to think that what I was seeing was actually 3 votes—2 up and 1 down—which would show as delta 1 vote up but, with some help from rand, wound up being delta 2 XP.
More recently I've decided that the XP calculations are fuzzy. This is just another reason to ignore them. Would it be possible to have the XP Nodelet tell me how many votes I have but not my changes in XP? That would be nice.

As others have mentioned, voting can affect XP. Which raises the question -- is it still possible given all of the XP changes for someone to make it into the Saints in our Book <update> only by voting (or at least with minimal posting) </update>? I think it was under the old XP system. Anway, XP is used to encourage participation, which includes voting.

Yes.
Within the last year (IIRC), I made it into the saints list, so yes, it is possible to make it into the saints list.

On the subject of software that lies. I just elected to decompress an NTFS drive. I deselected the "compress this drive" option and clicked "apply". The pop-up progress window tells me "About 39703 days and 4 hrs remaining".
In the time it took to type this response to this point (circa 25 seconds), that figure reduced to "About 39652 days and 0 hrs remaining".
What is your best estimate of how long this process will really take?
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Yeah I doubt anyone will claim the prize as having access to the source code of Perlmonks is extremely hard and therefore your prize is unclaimable. | [reply] |
