monkdiscuss lzcd I know this could be judged as somewhat akin to complaining about the texture of the left index fingernail on Michaelangelo’s David... ...but I thought I might anyway:<br> <br> Is there any profound reason for having a voting option on nodes submitted by anonymous monks?<br> <br> Outside of the possibility of the node appearing in either the Best or Worst Node lists, most monastery residents are unlikely see much difference between a Anonymous Monks node at +25 or –25.<br> <br> Instead of this waste of votes I humbly put forward the following options:<br> <br> A – We kill the vote option on nodes posted by Anonymous Monks<br> B – The votes spent on such a node go towards a charitable cause. <br> <br> With the latter option, the votes could be used for all sorts of interesting things. A daily random act of small blessing? A fund for under priviledged monks? A prize for completing quests and awards?<br> <br> Maybe we could organise it so that we get the best of both worlds ie. A vote that gets donated but still shows up in the node for statistical things such as thresholds etc.<br> <br> Thank you for your brain cramp time.
