Last time I left this site I had 3 red squares. Now I have 6. Hmmmm...
I don't know how the 'bad post' system works because I've never bad posted anyone's post. It seems logical to me that the whole point of the 'bad post' system is to inform the (busy) moderators about somebody who has broken the site rules and hence placed the future of this message board in jeopardy (likely, given the litigation culture we live in).
I have never threatened the president/public figures or anyone else.
I have never subjected anyone to personal insults.
I don't have a habit of using foul language.
And, I would expect to be banned immediately if I had done so, or broken any other site rules.
Therefore I must conclude that I get bad posted for saying things that other people disagree with, which seems pretty pathetic on the part of the people who bad post me. Unless ofcourse this board is solely in existence for the purpose of allowing a group of likeminded people to congratulate each other on how wonderful they all are. I notice that other posters who disagree with the majority view here seem to have 'bad'(ish) reputations.
If making comments/posing questions/discussing about the human condition makes me an internet troll then I am guilty - but, in that case, you 'bad post' posters are worse. Closed minded blinkered bigots, cos I've seen some far more offensive things on this site than the (stupid or not) questions/comments I post.
PS. I am pretty new to this site and so please do correct me if I have completely got the wrong end of the stick on this one.
PPS. Does anyone wish to bad post this 'bad post posters' post?
