I see no change in the forum sorry to say.
So do the rating abusers lose the rating feature now?
Nothing has really changed here. IMHO
Yes, there has been a change. A rule on "ratings abuse" was made just for you. Virtually all your posts have little to content. The ratings you get are a reflection of that. Here are a few of your latest gems.
@SW48, please take note.
There you are, demanding moderator action and making a personal attack on me.
Once again, there you are demanding moderation on your behalf on the open board. Note there are three others down rating you. That's because your posts are pathetic.
Look at that! A topical post! You posted "looks like the repukes are afraid of him. So I gave a dislike and offered a rebuttal. You can see it right here, below:
And your response? Nothing on topic. Just more whining. Of course I gave it a dislike.
There you are once again demanding moderator action on the open board. Why
shouldn't that get a down rating?
Now.... I began getting screen shots but unfortunately was banned for "ratings abuse"! Read Bear Claw's post above and let that sink in! Someone please tell me: which of these posts was it inappropriate to give a "dislike" rating?
If anything, Bear Claw should be banned for abusing the other posters with stupid, inane posts.
@SW48, thanks for the gesture. But no thanks. I know you're busy. But the fact is, Bear Claw makes pathetic posts, gets down rated and I have no desire to continue here without ratings buttons. Bear Claw already has a rule made just for him. As I've clearly shown above, he abuses that rule. On principle, I refuse to take part in such silliness.
One last thing: Bear Claw even gets special service! I reported the personal attacks and nothing was done. But Bear Claw gets action on his behalf immediately. In fact, that's the only reason there aren't even more screen shots of Bear Claw's abusive posts. Someone thought low enough of them to delete them. So unfortunately, I am unable to provide yet even more of Bear Claw's silly posts to make my case.
But don't just take my word for it. Read what others have and will say on this topic. PJ isn't a site for wimps.
