Punishment? Oh, well, I'm very sorry I tried to suggest something so horrible that would impede you from growing that precious number of yours. I didn't know that was a punishment.
But really, I was promised change, and all I got was a forum with a bad layout. I only wish for drastic change.

This.

Well... Post count doesn't matter that much right? Its just a rising number, no significance whatsoever. Plenty of people here lost large quantities of post count when the forum broke down and we had to switch to this one. Scotty and myself being two of those people. I understand what you're getting at but back at the old forum, if we included all the posts from the chit-chat section, post count would skyrocket for just about everybody!

Whether the general chatter and chit-chat section exist separately or not doesn't matter that much. Why not focus on the things that actually do deserve the "drastic change" which you're speaking about?

Now that's a matter of opinion... ㄱ.ㄱ

There's a reason why we have a chit-chat section. Kami and Yuna probably thought that we needed a place to unwind and chill out a bit, and from time to time, all nonsense posts go to there instead of the other parts of the forum, thus, we have our 'space.' However, nowano once told me that it is the source of what made our old forum go into a trolling state, and I'm not pointing fingers, but those who did damage, spent so much time together there and outside of it.

I already said my reply to this message on the above.

As soon as I saw we had this Karma system, I already asked for its removal, since it can be easily abused. But the admin said to give it time, and I'm not blaming them or anything, but what I said is right. In all honesty, there are people with +points and -points who don't deserve them, and people who do. Check out Nanashi. He's one of the greatest informants and wiki editors, but his +points aren't as high as Yukipo and Laburey. Also, look at Sam, for being inactive for like, 3 weeks, and during that time, he already accumulated -6 karma? If that's so, then all inactive members should be like him, but no, which just proves that it is all a troll.
People, just ignore this until they actually come back to remove it. It's nothing but a good way to troll, and I'm not pointing at people, but a group of people here tagged their way to the top and plunged others to the bottom. How ridiculous my current karma is stands as proof of this. Also, Scotty, please, don't act like a hero, at least, not at this moment, when people can still remember that you asked and were given a custom rank for yourself in the old forum, and right now, where you have high +points and low -points for what, coming back? May you choreographed this or not, at this moment, you had no right to say what you just did. The Karma is already is abused, let's stop it like this, bury it for later when the admins come for deletion.
In any case, this topic will turn into a troll war with people bashing each other's opinions. Relax mods and admins, I'm chill, and because I'm chill that I'm saying this: To the first mod who sees this, or when Trance catches up on this, please lock this thread for the earlier stated reason. Thanks..

I feel I should point out that yukipo probably spends more time than anyone else working with the wiki, so your example doesn't really work, and that Sam got five of his six minus points after he returned from "being inactive".
