in reply to Neshura's point on xp and voting...v2.0
in thread Votes & Reputation

I don't think that people are going to let the current reputation of a post alter their voting decision too much. As I pointed out in a another post there is much more to be gained from always showing the reputation then the risk of slightly skewed poll results. Our system isn't all that scientific anyway, after all a post could have a low reputation because it dates back to the days when fewer people came here.
