I got a mail from Ageless, where he asked me to post this: Tell everyone I didn't detach, nor deleted any links. I may put Seti on No New Work, but seeing all the outages coming on, Seti is doing that for me already. ;) I'll take a break, lurk, play a lot of GTA San Andreas, and write some Wiki stuff. I'll be back when my energy is rating positive again. Thank everyone on my behalf, or just post this email in your reply. ;) The ratings is, in my oppinion, an obsolete function, after we got the Ignore function. It was created last year as a way to make some people's posts (read: Guido's posts!) collapse, and with this invisible after a certain numbers of negative ratings. Later we got the Ignore function, so if somebody post something, I don't want to read, I can put that person on Ignore. The ratings developed into something used to harrass others with, where it's the person posting, not the post itself that's being rated! I don't know why this has developed into a schoolyard bully thing, that "we don't like this person, so we mob him/her!", in school with physical harrassments and here with the ratings! Some people here has been a victim of these harrassments, where no matter what that person post, it is being rated negatively! Funny enough, when I look on the boards of the other projects, people can post to each other in a proper manner and very rarely getting rated, either positive or negative. This phenomenon only exists here on the Seti boards! This is weird! What kind of people comes here, who doesn't come on the other boards? And why is this behaviour acceptable here?

No problem with taking a break. We all need one from time to time. I know I usually do if I spend any amount of time perusing the NC board. LOL. Glad to hear it'll be just a vacation from the boards and not a permanant departure. To truly explore, one must keep an open mind... |

Well then, Jord - have a good time! I always liked your postings and sometimes tried to equal one or the other minus... Looking forward to reading you again. :-)= Greybeard All about BOINC: BOINC-Wiki (by Paul D. Buck) |

I got a mail from Ageless, where he asked me to post this: Fuzzy, thanks for the note from Ageless. And, I agree with what he said in that the negative rating should be made obsolete and taken away and only have the positive. The positive rating and the ignore feature should be all that's needed. All the negative rating does is cause "hate and discontent".... CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr - L L & P _\\// Winders 11 OS? "What a piece of junk!" - L.

I got a mail from Ageless, where he asked me to post this: Hey, that was my oppinion! I quoted Ageless' mail with the different fontsize and color! The rest was my sayings! And my oppinion still stands! "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me |

It was my opinion as well, Fuzzball :) Or how about we did away with the stupid rating of posts? Or only gave it the option to positive rate it? Guys, read my proposition in the anti thread. I minused myself to give everyone a head start. :) |

Guys, read my proposition in the anti thread. I minused myself to give everyone a head start. :) I re-minused all my posts to help them out. |

Somewhat of an ironic topic for a thread for me, as I decided for awhile that I needed to be away doing other things (and yet others were thrust upon me). Wellcome back, Murasaki! Nice to see you again! Did you see that you were UOTD for some time ago? We did a Congratulations thread for you. "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me |

Well I got the e-mail and got a snapshot of the front page before it disappeared, but I didn't hit the boards. Thanks to everyone. :) |

Ageless, if you are still reading this, don't stop crunching, just stop coming to the boards. I crunched classic for six years without hanging out in the fora. They are not the same. I hardly look in here anymore because of the bullshit. I probably wouldn't look in here at all but I fell in love with Leeloo several years ago and I hope Misfit really is Milla pretending to be a guy obsessed with her because I think I am falling in love with him.

The positive rating and the ignore feature should be all that's needed. All the negative rating does is cause "hate and discontent".... Sorry Fuzzy, but I was right. This is from Ageless' original post: Or how about we did away with the stupid rating of posts? Or only gave it the option to positive rate it? You don't like someone's posts? Put him/her on ignore. That's what I was agreeing with. Leave the plus rating and get rid of the negative one. Plus and ignore would be sufficient.... >:-) CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr - L L & P _\\// Winders 11 OS?

I hardly look in here anymore because of the bullshit. The first person minusing this post will get my death squad on his/her address. ""ring ring", Yes! What!? BLAM!!" David, I haven't left, I am not going away. That I am posting tonight around here has to do with the amount of Palm (5.2%) I drank. The fori aren't the same, I agree to that. It's something I'd like to change. If only all these buttheads plussing me in this thread would get that in their heads. :) I noticed that none of them read furter than all the negativity. Well maybe CA, but he's one of the persons who told me, that I should change my mind on how the fori work, again immediately in response to my first post. Let's hope his box is rectangular, not square. :) |
