A vote up could be used to increase hubber score
A. good idea
b. bad idea
c. stick to reading/writing hubs
b. bad idea.
As Arlene says, Hubber Scores are just an ego trip and do nothing for your earnings on HubPages. I often wish HP would just retire them.
And though I love the community here, I often think HP offers too many "social" features already, to the point where some people seem to think it's a social networking site first and a writing site second. So adding another would definitely not get my vote.
We already have that. It's that green "Follow" button...
good point...I guess I was thinking of an additional way to reward the author for the profile content...
I think the best way to reward an author is by reading their hubs, sharing, tweeting, etc.
If there's one thing on this site that does NOT require voting, it's profiles...
How are you to "reward" the writers who don't have profiles??? Do you like reading what people write about themselves? We're all experts on the Internet. Read someone's WORK instead! Maybe you like writing fan mail, too??? Follow someone, and you can do that.
"This would increase Hubber Scores?" Who cares! GET THIS THROUGH YOUR HEAD: Hubber Scores don't make you money! Send the author some pennies, instead! Or a minimum $50 payout! This will make you very popular around here.
b. and c: BAD IDEA AND STICK TO READING/WRITING HUBS.

Hubber scores do not reflect anything but some weird algorithm that is not in sync with anything. My score just went sixteen points down. My views are up and I am featured way more that 140 times.But what I noticed was Billybuc. He is an 88. What? He is the highest ranking site at Hub pages. This...

Does commenting increase or reduce hub score? Let's discuss the issue. I think it might help some writers here.

Prompted by a comment in another thread, I thought it would be useful to perhaps slightly change the way that we commonly think about changes to hub scores, hubber scores and the like. Rather than see them as a judgement on us or our quality of writing, we can use these scores and other tools to...

Following this button and receiving countless e-mails about the 'Vote Up and Vote Down' button, is it possible to just eliminate the down button on this site? I believe it would not effect the (algo) of our hubs, but would allow the scores to remain somewhat steady and not drop tremendously when it...

Just amazing--sitting at an 80--publish a hub and drop to 67.This place is really starting to suck jelly beans. I knew there was a good reason I had started writing elsewhere. Hmm, I have clients praising my writing up and down and paying me anywhere from 28-60 dollars an hour, and here where I...

I took a hiatus for awhile from Hub Pages! However, in the past week or so, I have added new hubs participated in forums, asked a question or two, participated with the Hub Hopper, have read some Hubs, yet my Hubber Score is lower than it was when I was doing nothing. I don't get it!
