I could have started a thread about why HRS is allowed to call Ralph an idiot and not get any punitive action...but I already know the answer.

So, I have two ratings votes - one positive and one negative. However, both are from a thread back in 2003. I don't think that it is particulary fair to allow ratings that far back.

its possible the rep was given back then. we had rep on years ago, but then turned it off, now that its back on, maybe the old info is still in there somewhere

There's no reason to delete the reputation information from the old system. It's YOUR reputation. It sticks with you regardless of what year it's from...

Isn't it obvious? The admins love me!! :cloud9:

Or maybe it's because claiming that I was the reason you were banned was an idiotic thing to say about how the admins handle business around here. :bulb:

I don't think we'll ever have to worry about namecalling going unnoticed again. I'm not always available to see what's going on and I know there are times where things get out of control. Well, now the people who are here can take care of this in realtime.
