Mods....Follow

PLEASE put an end to this. Yes, I'm still being rated down left-right-and-centre. And I'll give a to the first mod who can explain why ANY of my posts in this thread justifies a rate-down. Someone IS chasing me around the site rating me down, and I'm begging you mods to do something about it. I told someone how to back up their macros to S-E's servers and I got rated down for it. Please explain that, or at least tell my doctors to up my dosage so I stop having hallucinations over being chased around, if I am in fact not being camped. But if someone has a vendetta against me for anything I've posted, they need to keep it to the thread I posted whatever offended them in. Otherwise, how am I supposed to continue to use the site?

Low karma prevents you from using this site?

noposts happen more often, but only mainly because one IP tends to have multiple accounts when someone's spamming.

and someone randomly rating you down doesn't effect you really since other people are rating you up. that's how the karma system works. we can't babysit every time someone gets rated down and thinks they don't deserve it. The system sustains itself except in extreme cases, and this isn't one.

It is about 10 different people. I checked, there is no indication of sockpuppetry. all 10 people appear to have not only different IP addresses, but significantly different geolocaitons (and none refined back to proxy servers).

people are rating you down, and in some instances it does appear to be someone kamping an entire thread, but aside from that you are not being hit by a single person to a degree that we would consider to be an instance of karma camping. I also used the reverse karma lookup and in most cases the people rating you 1 are not jsut going through and rating everyone they rate a 1. The two instances where they are doing that will be delt with.

or maybe... they were all just pissed off about your ratebot?

PWNED

/laugh

In that case, I apologise for wasting your time. As I said in my first post, no action is necessary if I'm truly not being "camped". I just wasn't expecting quite the reaction I got from the mods on this, but now that you've explained it I appreciate it and understand. Thank you.

It's ok, I'm sure being a mod is a stressful-enough job. I didn't mean to spaz and I apologise for it. God knows we're all entitled to be a little ****** once in a while. ^_^

hahahaha hot damn i haven't seen that much ownage since gigli.

No worries. When it happened last time I didn't approach a mod because (a) I knew who was doing it, (b) it wasn't happening enough to really hit my overall rating and (c) I figured you guys were way too busy to be bothered over something like that (as I assume the mods for the FFXI side of allakhazam also moderate the other divisions of the site, meaning you folks must be busy). But someone suggested I bring it up if it happened again, so I did. I did NOT mean to add to your workload or frustration, so again I apologise. I wouldn't have made a fuss at all if it hadn't taken me from almost-guru to almost-scholar, but it just seemed to be happening too fast and too often to be isolated. And as I said, someone here on the site (don't remember who) had told me to email Kaolian on it if it happened again as the mods "don't like karma campers". So, that's what I did. I haven't been around quite long enough to know what counts as a major violation and what's too minor to put to a mod. But I won't bother you guys with it in the future. ^_^

When Crap like that happens just refrain from posting for a bit then everyone forgets and its a happy ending
