    Be warned:

    I had a PM from a member today asking why I'd given him negative rep. The problem is it wasn't me but presumably some spineless wuss who is trying to stir up trouble. The idea is you give bad rep to another member, sign someone else's name, and hope the recipient will be pissed off enough to retaliate by giving bad rep to the named member.

    This isn't the first time this has happened here. I have a suspicion about who it is based on prior behaviors but that isn't the point for the moment.

    I'd suggest you evaluate the likelihood of the negative rep actually coming from the member in the signature and preferably check with that person before retaliating.

    Let's not help the morons to continue to be morons. You know who you are.

    Yes, it is. This sort of tactic is designed for one purpose only: to stir up trouble.

    The "oh yeah... right Anthony :eek: " was actually a reply to Wendy... it should have had a question mark on the end, as in

    oh yeah... right Anthony? :eek:

    As for Shawn taking care of them, you know I've always had a fondness for vigilante justice :eek:

    We know who it is... we'll get him... :D

    i have no idea who would be impersonating others, and I don't see why they would want to. I mean, I don't have MUCH of a life right now, but i can think of better things to do with my time then THAT.

    Are there any actual benefits to the rep system or at least a prize or something ?
