So let people get 0. That's an unequivocal statement of "your role sucks and nobody here likes it" What I'm saying is that if I think someone will like my role enough to count it as 1500 points I would rather wait for that person to see it, and if nobody ever thinks it worth that much then fine, let me have 0. That means I need to do better.

And if it really is just a sucky role that anybody can tell will not be particularly enjoyed by anyone else, then fine, slap it with a 1exp award to point out that it has failed.

This isn't about increasing exp awards, or thinking that 500exp is somehow "not enough". If the exp awards were 1, 2, 3 or 4 exp I would still welcome an opportunity to say "I've tried hard to make this role a 3, so if you just dislike this basic style of role, please move on and give someone else a chance" But as I just said, I think I'm wasting my time and will just stop writing long roles, since the consensus seems to be that most people don't like them, and even if some people do, once your role is read by someone who doesn't like long roles then nobody else will ever see it.
