I second that: gone from the sublime to the ridiculous.

It is like they're crack heads looking for any fix that can get.

Agreed: one rather bland post has been reported (for fun, I'm sure) a number of times:
Participant points: -880
I don't care about the debator points (par for the course and I'm sure I deserve it for something) but -880??? That is not right.

Yeah, I wouldn't care about the debator points, but the participant -80+ is a really punch to the gut. I'm actually going to recommend a new way of doing reporting.

Just remove the ridiculously punitive participant points: surely not needed. I had no idea it was quite so harsh - my apologies to anyone that has suffered such an undeserved loss cos I reported your post.

I'm going to be making all spam reports public.
I don't spend my time creating a code sharing site for a bunch of primary school kids. We're adults, so I'll treat everyone as adults.

Sadly, it only takes a few of them to spoil a good great site.

Sorry you're having to deal with such BS. Unfortunately people find a way to deal with issues with one another in the most childish ways possible... we're having similar issues at the workplace... it's hard to listen to.

It's been a few days already now, so what is the status about the "heavy load" and/or the possible voting system "bug" ? Still struggling ?

I thought everyone was enjoying the lack of "Someone downvoted me!" messages 
(We are still chasing down an issue with rep points and Quick Answers though. It's bad timing, though, because we're about to launch a new service so things are a little hectic. OK, a huge, crazy amount hectic)

Indeed, but it is balanced by the increasing whining about missing rep points 
( OK, I guess something like that was almost necessary since you did not have anything to do otherwise anyway, did you ?  )

I'm thoroughly enjoying this new service. People actually seem to be nicer to each other.
