Why am I surprised that Millsapa is questioning the legitimacy of this and arguing over it?

This is another instance in which you can't see behind the curtain. I've had a lengthy conversation with colton and Jason about a number of topics, the effect of rep on the board being one, over the last couple of weeks. In that sense, YB's timing is fortuitous.

Considering that Sloanfeld's final infraction came as a result of rep comments he left he is accurately described as part of the problem on this one.

The effect of rep was discussed at length publicly when you changed the system to make people's name known, and I mentioned that you were only creating a different set of problems.
You then resorted to your typical "if you don't like it go away" retort.

Of course I can't see behind the super secret iron curtain but it sure is "fortuitous" that the moment Trout got himself in trouble for the same thing as Sloanfeld and JSL then it was time to consider getting rid of rep all together.

Just saying.
 
True story: Trout has both texted and facebooked me today complaining about being suspended and claiming he didn't break any rules. Sometimes you just can't win in this business.

If the moderators felt that the rep system should go (because of Trout's infraction, or whatever), we would just turn off the rep system. We wouldn't ask YB85 to start a thread about it.

Just saying.

I didn't say you asked YB to start a thread about it.

I voted for cheese because, well cheese rocks, and because it was the closest option to "don't care". Either way, with or without rep, this is a good forum, and I will continue to partronize it until I see no value at all in the discussions. Rep is just another feature, like editing polls. I would like to be able to edit polls, but it won't make or break the forum, imo, same with rep.
 
Did you know that cheese encased in wax can last more than a decade, and will taste better at the end of that decade than it did the day you dipped it in wax? (hard cheeses, like cheddar store best)
