I understand that you scrubbed a bunch of thumbs recently due to what you termed a "pattern of abuse" of the forum ratings. That's fine if that's your decision (although I disagree with it, and would defend just about every thumb I've ever handed out as justified if asked to) but if that's the case why does my thread listing who I've blocked still have a negative rating and a red star?:

I can't think of a more obvious case of "rating abuse" than someone giving me a thumb's down in a fit of pique over being blocked.

Erik,

The pattern of abuse we detected was limited to one particular topic in which a gang of forum users agreed to rate each others' posts. All others have remained.

The rating drops appear more widespread than that though -- the deceased user erffdogg, to pick one obvious example, has apparently had his rating tumble from HoF to Pro. I can't imagine he received too many thumbs from that "gang" (who apparently shall remain nameless.)

But that doesn't really address my point. Why is this specific group being singled out as 'abusers', when there are also other, just as blatant, instances of 'abuse' going on?

ginahann would abuse anybody in a tandem, but that guy would be more beneficial to them than someone trying to run a more "normal" rotation.

I don't give a **** about forum ratings, but why placate the GD 'tards or whoever complained?  We make this site far more enjoyable than any of those douchebags.

Dave should write in that they do mean something, they mean who got the most thumbs ups.  Isn't that what they wanted the forum rating to mean?

They create it

We make a mockery of it

They knock us back to the beginning

We ??????????


i started off with the ticket acting very clueless and just wondering, my last ticket response was much less nice...

The top users page said otherwise.
