The worst thing is that seems that if you down vote, you also can win XP, and some peoples only make the --.
When younger, I kicked trash cans with my friends. Then I grow.
At least you can broke anything here in PM. Even the rank of every post is a
bit useless as content valuation, as you can't see it until you vote... and
is not necessary (till now). Try to post an incorrect answer, and surely
you'll get a reply noting your mistake. Or be agressive, and someone will
reproach you. The real value of PM are the quality of it's threads,
not it's posts. Every post (generally) has little value out of context.
I'll be more worried if we start to see a lot of offensive posts (or worst,
offensive threads), other than offensive XP usage. And if it
happens, well... tye will do something ;-)
I know that we have a lot of good monks, but somes are around the monastery just taking care about XP, -- & ++.
Has been said, XP is a game. Don't worry, it's not important. And those who need XP to raise his ego,
well, mail me, I'll upvote you. Or better! post explaining that you need XP,
and we all generously will give you a lot of ++!!!.
Recently it seems worthless posts are becoming more common
Maybe... Looks like a cyclic thing... when everyone are talking about changing
the recursion limit using B::Complex, someone ask how to make a
form button using CGI. But It's not a bad thing... without childrens, we all
will become a bunch of geeky bad-tempered old men.
Seems like we need fresh blood right now...
