[OldLady]

May I suggest...

That kind of looks like a pack of ramen noodles they forgot to cook. Is it good?

THere's no real counting involved in that we wont act on anything that isn't obvious stalking/harassment. The 6 or more is guideline, not a rule. And it says it has be chronic and malicious and happening in other threads.

Why bother

Just more whining you guys gotta put up with

None of this applies in the FZ or taunting areas. People are SUPPOSED to be harassed in those zones. The OTHER zones we expect to actually DISCUSS content and use words.

Interesting, mods. I count two members so far (including me) that think this rule is a good idea. The people who complained about funny-trolling are laying low, aren't they?

thats what kids around the country SHOULD sing to their history teachers that teach FAKE history.

It's a shame that I am unarmed.

If that's the case ... Please respond a few more times so I can willfully disobey this ridiculous adjustment to the moderation standard.

You don't troll. You gonna do it just because it's a rule now?

Considering the whining that was done down in the Flame Zone when it was suggested that rules were or were not required over the last couple years, and who should and should not be banned for violations down there, you're one to talk.

*****CHUCKLE*****

It wasn't just "rep crying".. Folks were being abused. There were a couple folks who would stalk their victims. Send them PMs every 15 minutes a couple hours before their 24 hour "neg rep" limit got renewed. Told them to watch the clock because it's coming. That's harassment. Not the enviro vibe we want for USMB.

You're not affected by this at all if you don't go postal and TARGET members with dozens of funnies on posts that are serious replies
to threads. From the pattern and timing -- we can EASILY tell harassment from just incident taunting or genuine rep..

My last forum had the neg rep system for a while. I was the one they were all neg repping. Even the moderator/administrator was doing it. That changed overnight one day...

Only stating the obvious. I mentioned no names or instances so if you want to take it as trolling feel free to report me.

Take the time to read the new USMB announcement in the sticky section above.

Addition to USMB Posting Guidelines.

Doesn't "Funny" ratings increase your positive ratings? If so, and I'm pretty sure it is, this seems completely silly.

Yeah they do. But NOBODY is funny enough to deserve someone maliciously funnying about 24 of their posts over multiple forums and multiple threads in a 20 minute period. That's malicious and creepy. And we've seen it too many times. It IS stalking. And even if it rolls off your back as it rolls off mine --- it just escalates the frustrations and anger.

I personally take "malicious drive-by funnying as a badge of honor. It's that "click - click" sound when your assailant is out of ammo. But when I see 10 or 11 from the hater in one day -- it's mildly annoying. OTHERS are not that mellow about it.

It's an escalation of the increasing friction around these parts. And using it as a weapon does not promote what USMB is primarily for which is discussion..

OTHERS? What others give us some names.
