XP is supposed to reward people for adding to the community, not ridicule people or to actively encourage bad behavior.- XP used for "me, too". This is bad because it encourages XP for no other purpose than to say "me, too".  It also encourages "me, too" comments, which are unnecessary in whatever form they pop up in.- It's part of the conversation.  This is bad because comments can be made out of synch with the conversation.  It's like a post/thread edit without a record of when it happened.- XP used to try to be cute and funny.  See this post: <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/274685-suicidal-players.html#post5144727" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/274685-suicidal-players.html#post5144727</a> or the one vagabundo showed above.  Both of these commend were added for teh lulz, not to reward the post or to add anything to the conversation.The bottom line: XP is now being given for the purpose of making a comment, rather than to reward a post.  This undermines the purpose of XP altogether.  And really, do we need another way to make comments on a message board that already consists of people making comments?</blockquote>
