I don't know about the less votes thing. Most days I
have more votes than I need, but sometimes I've got a
good use for every one (or I wish I could hold over
the ones that were left from the previous day).
<p>
Just having X votes doesn't mean a person needs to spend
X votes if there aren't the same number of deserving
articles. If someone really wants to be a munchkin,
I'm sure there are other ways of pumping up exp other
than getting that last vote bonus--such as creating
multiple logins which serve only to give the primary
login votes, or entering into an agreement with another
loser to promote each other's posts, etc. No matter what
you do, someone who is determined can cheat or abuse the
system.
<p>
I do think there should be some way for more advanced
monks to have more influence. One way is of course by
giving them more votes. Another way might be to have
their votes count more--perhaps carry a greater chance of
xp for the receipient, and to affect reputation by 2 instead
of 1. It certainly means more to me if I get a vote from
someone whom I respect than if I get one from the person
described in the previous paragraph. Or it would, if I
knew who had voted :)
<p>
I'm not sure that's a good idea though. There are some
things I vote for where I'd happily spend 3 votes if I
could, but a lot of the time I'm not <i>that</i>
enthralled with the post that I'd spend more than one
vote. Hmm, maybe some normal votes and some more powerful
votes?
<p>
Kudra - if exp doesn't matter, why do we seem to care so
much about voting? ;)
