It would also be great with a function that force you to post a comment to negative antipoints. It may not help since a abuser can write anything, but it's a good start for all to improve themself when recieving bad response.

It would also be lots easier for a moderator to see if the negative antipoints are deserved or if someone just have abused the system.

by making this post ennis is merely inviting reoccurences

hehbris I gotta admit when I first realsied it happened I thought of you but Im not sure so I will not blame you.
Ill take youre word for it, innocent until proven guilty eh?

But I had to point it out as this guy has probably done this a few time sparking off mini-antipoint wars, maybe this thread could counter-act that.

I dont think hehbris could possibly give out antipoints of any value. I doubt JP would allow anyone with over 200 negative points to affect others.

Recently, I've been getting negative points(each worth 2) for any innocent reply I made to non-computer related topics.

This sounds like like classic hehbris bullshit. I'm extrememly sick of that little ****er. All he does is abuse the forums and make everybody's life miserable. I question why JP hasn't deleted his account. Enough is enough. This bullshit has to come to an end. I say BAN HIM!

Of course it could also be Seb-G, but I haven't seen hide nor hair of him lately.

I agree about having Ennis and Negative as moderators with more privilages to help clean this board.
I got two people giving me antipoints today and one claiming to be hehbris.
They didn't affect my score so whoever it whas it has seriously a lot of negative points.

Well, part of the reason I wanted to push for the private forums was because within those areas, the forum moderators could curb the jerk users. Although those forums have been up for a long time, nobody can yet moderate them and add people to the 'postable' list... I've been waiting for JP to reply to questions on it for quite a while... We'll see.

I don't think JP will add other moderators to the main forums who aren't AO employees.

EDIT/ADD:

an hour ago a guy sent to me more than 5 negative points from every thread i have posted. It isn't fair, because i don't know who post it but i'm going to find him.

That shouldn't be possible unless they registered multiple accounts. There are checks to keep users from bashing a person repeatedly (to the exclusion of others) or from assigning too many APs in a day.

Maybe a little function to check for consecutive logins to different accounts from the same IP address...

Ergh. I just got negative points from this thread, and the message was signed "hehbris." But I'm sure he can't give out 3 negative points, so again we see people abusing the antipoint system.

Dammit.

I'm back, few may remember me.

The Antipoints and Avatars are new to me.

I have found one thing true about any system, there will be those who abuse it.

i got the same thing...only mine were grey points....
