Pain in the ass?

I think the message should be changed. I asked a simple question and my motives were skewed...next thing I know I'm being called a pain in the ass. I've posted positive replies to peoples queries...but my rating stays the same.

Not real happy with the system so far...hopefully I will get some positive points someday so I can get rid of the insulting welcome message.

oh so now I understand why I haven't seen that message. This pops up when you have a lot of negatives AP's? Ok, I was just confused as to what this guy was talking about, thanks for the clarification.

Hmm, I don't think I have alot of negatives, but I still get the message.

I think you should take it as a slightly aggressive reminder. I don't know if there are degrees of messages, like a lesser one, "People on AO are finding you irritating" to "Pain in the a**" to "OK you insipid script kiddie this is your final warning to stop your banal, adolescent, posturing before being banned"

Of course there might just be the one. Personally I think it probably should be changed, however, it isn't really that bad. Certainly not enough to get worked up over. Carbonlifeform, I saw your initial post, I am one of those that misread your intentions and you did get a bad rap. However you could set up a new account and go on with that. Now that you know better how not to get negged (too much, everyone gets negged, even me :confused: ). In the early going until you have built up some greenies it is easy to get negged to death if a few of the older members with lots of AP clout take exception to some early posts. I do not believe it is personal I have seen little of that happen here. I also am sure that JP doesn't mean the warning personally, it is just a warning with a bit of an edge to it.

One last thing. I cannot imagine the time and effort it would take to run a site like this. A little more praise for JP's efforts and a little less knee jerk reaction to every minor problem (and yes I have reacted wrongly before too) would probably be a nice way to say thankyou.

Sincerely,
