RE: Proposed XP System Changes

This sounds really good, I am still wondering about some things though

You say "delay of posting bonus" but I see no mention of whether the automatic +1 XP will be assigned when someone votes ++ or whether it is being scrapped altogether in favour of the new voting system.
Will the current value of NORM be available (easily)
Are current XP levels going to be adjusted, it would be quite hard to implement something that reflects the dynamically variable nature of the new ++ (I'm in favour of some sort of regrading if it can be shown to be fair & equitable)

The +1 voting bonus will be awarded when a node gets its first ++ vote. The current Value of NORM could be available on the Voting/Experience System page. Current XP Levels will probably stay the same unless we notice a problem. One other thought we had was to have writeup or moderate reputation total requirements for advancing to a level. These wouldn't be hard to attain but might toss some people back a level or two if they'd only gained their XP through voting or the login bonus. vroom \| Tim Vroom \| vroom@cs.hope.edu	[reply]
