according to my user page, my karma is 3.01, which should have me as scholar according to the faq page, but i think i lost it when i was defaulted in a thread twice by a troll, thread is here. is it a rounding error or something?
so basically i lost scholar because some troll decided to rate down a rather neutral thread for no reason?
Probably.
I felt like being nice... so I rated you up (got ya to scholar too :P) Complaining about karma in any way usually doesn't help. I wouldn't be surprised if you lost scholar and got it back a few times from that one thread and this one.
