I agree that 50% of the number of votes seems high just for using all the available votes. But I also think it wierd that you can get a point just for saying "thank you" to someone who helped you with a question.
I think that if points are going to be given, they should be given based on merit, not on simply excercising your right to vote or posting a message that says "thanks."
Just my 1/50th of a dollar.

    You are correct in expressing a concern about getting XP for dropping a line of thanks. XP should be given out for good posts, not just junk. However, the civility of someone saying thanks for an answer given is worth something to the person who took the time to ponder the question, formulate, and explain his answer. I have dropped a simple 'thank-you' out of sheer politeness, not because I wanted a XP. So how do you balance it? Message the person in the Chatterbox? That seems like a very good method; unless the person does not wish to be intruded upon that way. Looks like plain common sense and decency should dictate what warrants creating a node. Besides, there is always the -5XP for one being pulled. But surely we are all cool folks here in the Monastary *smile*
