What does this suggestion change/add/remove?
The Suggestion would introduce players playing as scp to gain XP when sampled.
When sampled for a total of 1l, the scp should receive a one time per test 200 xp reward. The reward isn't too big, and a way to implement the one time per test limit would also be to add a 30 minute cooldown, which matches the current sampling cooldown.
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?

I wasn't able to find a post regarding a similar suggestion
Possible Positives of the suggestion
+/- makes SCP level progression easier
- encourages flagging on
- adds reward to getting tested on
- makes SCP level progression not purely based on breaches, killing and afking
- compensation for scp players that have been waiting for roleplay or have flagged on for roleplay, only for it to be purely sampling
- minor change
- won't discourage RP after the first liter
Possible Negatives of the suggestion
- may discourage RP for the time waiting for the 1l to finish
- situations in which a player should get killed, doesn't lead to them getting killed as the scp may want more xp from sampling
- people might blackmail (e.g "If you wont let me finish my test without killing the d-class I won't sample you and you won't get credit")
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted
Adding this would be a simple thing to implement, while also making it feel more rewarding to play scp and get a sampling "test". It'd make the gameplay of SCPs even if just a little bit more appealing and doesn't have many drawbacks.
