Dude, if that were the case, some of the people in question wouldn't have gotten ANY positive ratings at all (magic for sure, ellpen more than likely, 2dum possibly and Golgo). At least how it is set up now, those people I just mentioned have SOME positive rates. Again, I guarantee you magic for sure would have a complete red bar, and a few others would have almost all red if it were only the admins voting on their douchebaggery.

Like i said in a precious post. The admins are "supposed" to be neutral on most topics. what i have observed from Ely is exactly what i expected to be the embodiment of that. so does reflex. you can argue he may have deviated from that slightly but he is human like anyone else here, so what you expect. on the other hand, haunted has participated in the smack category over the years doing the exact opposite. so if you're really going to invoke admin status, at least be truthful. haunted would be the only giving constant down votes if he felt the need.

The purpose of rates should be exactly what it's based on now, i.e. if you're a good guy and/or give good things back to the community, whether that be in advice, civil discourse, technical assistance, gaming help, or whatever the case may be, you get a positive rate; if you're doing everything opposite of what I just said, you get a negative rate. The balance comes from people who think you're right vs. people who think you're wrong. And if someone gets a shitload of negative rates, guess what? THEY'RE WRONG AND THEY DESERVE THE NEGATIVE RATES.

The ONLY scenario where this is an issue whatsoever is when magic (and ellpen to a lesser degree) was systematically spending hours on end downvoting Dervish and upvoting Golgo. Literally HUNDREDS of votes within a few short days. Okay, you have a point there, that was clear and unadulterated abuse. But what's going on here now? Not even close. The people in question DESERVE the treatment they get, due to how they have acted in the past AND in combination to their current behavior and lack of willingness to change.

There's the common Tasty Logic for ya. It's actually the opposite, but whatever. you see the same people downvoting my comments even when i don't even make a comment. i seen Magic as a balance of power in the community. not that it matters anyways. green bar, red bar. just colors on a screen. much like the forum blather, "2 nouns combined to illicit a prescribed response."

haunted would be the only (one/admin) giving constant down votes if he felt the need.

"Would" "If"

Somehow you can predict how someone would possibly use a mythical voting system?

You're a fucking liar and your constant "slander and post dumb youtube shit" routine is just pitiful.

Pretend you ignored this.

Racist Ignoramus.

Looking at the ratings, it seems to me for the most part they reflect the general opinion of that person/persona's comments as seen by the most active posters here. If you were new here you would at least quickly see what the active forum using part of the community's opinion is. From that standpoint, I think the rating system works pretty well.

Now, you could make a valid argument that the more active portion of the posters here are surley, a bit hard assed, like to talk shit and have a very low tolerance for bullshit...well you would be wrong and you can go fuck yourself...

Translation: Getting negative ratings hurts my little feelers.

Elysium got down-rated with his complaint because the real intention of him disliking the rating system is clear to most, imo.

If nothing else the people rating my original post as "Racist Ignoramus" are demonstrating why the current rating system has turned into a griefing tool.

You can have one from me too cuz I really think you're a stereotypical ethnic ghetto-style individual.

As intelligent as most of you seem to be, this is what you're talking about?

Would be nice if it didn't hide posts that has "to many" negative ratings.
