[QUOTE="Starfox, post: 6121873, member: 2303"] One of the main reasons I like this is that I can give a short reply top an early post in a long thread without getting into post necromancy. The main thrust of the thread might have gone elsewhere entirely, but I can still post a minor comment on an early post without derailing the discussion. I can even add Xp to years-old threads. The author will be notified, but the thread is not revived. Another use is the "I agree" post noted above. I can quote the specific part I agree with. It can also be used to avoid threadjack while still leaving a comment. Say I come up with a tangential idea, or like something in a post that is not strictly relevant to the discussion at hand - I can use Xp comments to post this in an unobtrusive way. It encourages the handing out of Xp. Without Xp comments, there is not much point to having Xp at all. And we all like Xp, right? I know I do. About the only part I disagreed with the old system was the repeat Xp limiter, that I felt was a bit too tight. I agree there should be a limit, but I feel it should have been less limiting. Maybe make it a time limit - such as no repeat within 3 hours. Should prevent spam without being a hindrance. I sometimes feel the need for anti-xp, handing out small demerits to a post in a similar way. But on second though I don't think this would be a good feature - too much potential for bitterness and infighting. And I suppose this ties in with the abuses people have noticed above - misusing Xp comments to give snide remarks is just that, a misuse. [/QUOTE]
