Come on now, Griff has a rep to uphold!

Also clicking 1 or 5 was much easier than explaining what you think. And a unibomb really sticks it to the guy.

I know. It's terrible how we're forced to support opinions with reasoned, intelligent and coherent debate, rather than anonymously nuking someone's account because they happened to say something that we know we didn't agree with, but weren't quite sure what argument to come up with to counter it; but whatever the argument was, it would be a killer one.

While I don't miss them in the more social forums I think they are valid in the support forums.

Yes, the technical forums could really use the highlighting/filtering that ratings provide.

You are a demagogue and a crook, promising the people to have a voice when in fact your ownly interest is hoarding more reputaiton, to increase the cap between you and the majority, so you can look down on them, outvote them and use it to claim a perceived superiority over the majority. Down with you! Down I say!

Of course - I meant "democracy for ME"

How do you think I feel. I nuked my old account, started this new account and then got hammered by Reports. So now I am underwater and can't even report spammers.
I didn't fully think it through.

Why don't you ask the hamsters to get reinstated, I think you have a case.
People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

I would prefer my old account to stay nuked. My complaint was that with the voting down, with hindsight, I chose the wrong time to switch accounts as I failed to see that people would 'report' instead of 'down-voting'.

My Rep leads it's own existence independent of me, as a result of our being told once too often to "get a life".
If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

'A life' is the very last thing Chris wants any of us to get.
They often happen 'outside' and with 'other people'.
He wants us sat at a computer, day and night, desperately trying to impress people we've never met.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
