Note: I'm very surprised BB-Edju is sitting at 3 balls I would think by now he'd be down below that since he is the only member I give 1 balls to (daily) I would appreciate anyone else who wanted to join in the vendetta. Thanks in advance ;)
Seems like I don't need any someone beat me to 1 balling you on that ;)
While others who constantly are giving bad advice are below 3 balls.
Thing is though over the course of time the posts do even out
He is right, though. It seems like the rating system isn't working properly. The purpose of rating should be to let new players know whom to listen to and whom to ignore. But, it seems like it has just become a game, or a sort of popularity contest. Perhaps it should be suggested that only experienced players who have earned their way up the ranks should be aloud to rate posts. As far as his morons comment, I have seen it many times were all the posts in a thread are one balled regardless of any other factors by some one who just felt like doing it, or was bored, or wasn't held as a child. How can you not call them morons.Yes, the ball system isn't exactly working, but I didn't think it would when it was implemented. A better system would be one in which people are allowed to give positive rating or no rating at all, and those votes will accumulate over time.That's beside the point though, I was addressing the approach of the OP.

I have seen users who have a nice time with this kind of vendettas (like the one against Edju)
I have seen users who have a nice time with this kind of vendettas (like the one against Edju)It's not a real vendetta - he was joking.
