They sure did, damn drive by minusers don't care who they minus. This would imply that some people are immune from minusing. I only minus if a post really crosses the line, but I don't care who the user is. If it's deserved, it doesn't matter who you are. ID: 162771 ·

Yes, but the minus rating lurkers minus the poster, not the post! So when someone minus Jim's post above, do you find anything offensive in that post, that requires a minus? I don't, but it was on -1 when I opened the thread and read it! So the minus rating lurkers are busy! "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me ID: 162788 ·

Nobody is immune to minusers, even people that have never said anything bad to anybody. Nobody that posts is immune, but how many of the minuses come from cowards that don't post ever. You have something to say, say your piece, don't hide behind a button. Here's a solution, they already log it, list the people that have minused (new window, a little button to view it). Let's out the cowards, both those that hide with nothing to say, and the regular posters who won't "man up" about doing it. Still looking for something profound or inspirational to place here.

Let's get rid of that minus rating function! It's obsolete, redundant after the Ignore function was implemented. It's not to any use anymore except for harrassing and minus attacks! And the minus "competition" that's going on in one thread in NC at the moment is ridiculous IMNSHO! "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me ID: 162819 ·

Last modified: 4 Sep 2005, 0:49:09 UTC More like "new grounds" (but that would take too much time and effort to maintain). Besides, I think that losing the "anonymous" factor would be enough. Anyone that uses the " " that doesn't add a post, wants to be anonymous, they don't want the heat. Still looking for something profound or inspirational to place here. ID: 162820 ·

I don't, but it was on -1 when I opened the thread and read it! So the minus rating lurkers are busy! No, I don't see anything in the post that would warrant a minus. I was just saying that CR's post made it sound like there were some people that immune, or 'above' being minused. Untouchable so to speak. I might have interpreted his/her intentions incorrectly, but that is how it appeared, so being the type that speaks my mind, I commented on it. But yes, I agree with a later post of yours. The ratings system isn't working as intended. I'm pretty sure the admins can see who rates what, and abusers should be banned. ID: 162856 ·

If I have a question/problem with anyone's post, I will post in response to that person. Not - or + If I plus you, I'll tell you why I did. Same with a minus. Hopefully we could all do the same.

If you want the Minus Rating to go then the Plus Rating should go too, simply because people are abusing the Plus Rating just as much as the Minus Rating ... IMO I find it amusing that I can go into some Threads & the same person in the Thread has a +5 Rating on every one of his-her Posts in the Thread while nobody else has any Rating at all. As I look thru the Persons Posts I see nothing the Person has Posted that deserves any sort of Rating at all yet he-she has all these +5 Ratings ... Go Figure Also the very same people that are howling now to get rid of the +- Ratings were the very same people that were howling to get them when it served their purpose. But now that their finding out it's a 2 way street they don't like it ... Personally I don't hold anybodies opinion higher than anybody else's, I don't care if they have 1 Post or 7000 Posts. Having numerous Posts in a Forum means absolutely diddle squat in my book because most of the time a person that posts that much isn't saying anything worth reading to start with ... ID: 163855 ·
