MY XIMMY EXPERIENCE
After the big news about the daily limits now imposed on submissions, comments and voting, a question immediately formed in my mind regarding the limits on a member's votes.
Why in the world would Ximmy limit the number of votes allowed per member?
I let go of that thought for a while, but when I was doing my rounds on submissions posted by other members, the answer to the question just came to me...
They needed to do it to minimize the impact of having to give more 15 point rewards for popular votes.
I pondered over that thought for a while, and then it hit me. Ximmy members must now use their votes wisely in order to maximize the potential power of their votes.
HOW?
It's really very simple if you think about it.
You only need to limit your votes to those submissions made by your friends or potential friends which have yet to reach the Popular page.
So let's say for example that you see that your friend's post has yet to make it on the Popular page, vote for it. If however, your friends post is already in the Popular page, just skip voting for that post and move to another post which has yet to reach the Popular page.
Why?
If the purpose of your vote is to help your friends/potential friends reach the Popular page and get the 15 points they deserve, then you'll be doing them a favor if you don't waste your votes on their submissions that has already reached the Popular page and just focus on voting for those submissions that have yet to reach the Popular page. That way all your votes count.
Now, this strategy is applicable now under the current reward scheme implemented by Ximmy. If for example, Ximmy adds to this scheme that of giving rewards to those with the highest points for the month or for the year, a new strategy should be implemented.
So, just like in anything else, your strategy should be based on your over-all goal, which in this case, is to maximize the potential power of your votes at Ximmy.com.
