    Default the rules

    I really wish people here would follow them.



    Please remember, this system determines a members reputation on the board. It is not a popularity contest, nor is it a means of retribution. It should reflect a members posting ability, not whether or not you agree or disagree with a post. Use the system as intended and the results will be much more accurate. Moderators and Administrators reserve the right to look into complaints of abuse, and correct accordingly.

    Why is this being placed in the religion section? Why is a staff member not being sent a PM if you have an issue?

    I was just hoping people would start beig fair and I did not want to point any fingers.

    I was trying to appeal to peoples better behavior.

    I will never use the red squares.

    I just think it is really unfair when people use them like I understood they were not to be used.

    Just because you don't use them doesn't mean others can't. Maybe you misunderstand the rules? Wouldn't surprise me since you're starting threads about the rules instead of handling via PM with a staff member...

    Moral? Because you're angry that you were given a negative reputation? Please, get a grip.

    Disagreeing with you and making it known via rep is moral issue? Give me a break. I don't, but don't cry about those that do. I'm often a recipient.

    This may be a good time to remind people that rep comments are not to be discussed in public.

    ...reputation comments should be treated as private, and therefore comments left should not be discussed on the board.
    Which was the next sentence to, and was left out of, truthmatters rule-quoting above.

    And again, why haven't you followed proper recourse if you have an issue? Thus far, the only issue I see is someone opening a thread instead of handling something that the rules state should be done via PM.

    Why do you hate rules so much?
