    Agreed: one rather bland post has been reported (for fun, I'm sure) a number of times: Participant points: -880 I don't care about the debator points (par for the course and I'm sure I deserve it for something) but -880??? That is not right.

    Yeah, I wouldn't care about the debator points, but the participant -80+ is a really punch to the gut. I'm actually going to recommend a new way of doing reporting.

      Just remove the ridiculously punitive participant points: surely not needed. I had no idea it was quite so harsh - my apologies to anyone that has suffered such an undeserved loss cos I reported your post.

        Yeah, that would work as well. But my preferred solution would be: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4439917/How-reporting-deducts-points.aspx[^]

          It seems uni-voters have found a new way to vote, via spam report. Is there any way to refund/reject their reports on the following: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4439767/Voting-on-of-sorts.aspx[^]

            I'm going to be making all spam reports public. I don't spend my time creating a code sharing site for a bunch of primary school kids. We're adults, so I'll treat everyone as adults.

                Sadly, it only takes a few of them to spoil a good great site.

                  Sorry you're having to deal with such BS. Unfortunately people find a way to deal with issues with one another in the most childish ways possible... we're having similar issues at the workplace... it's hard to listen to. X|
