Oh, I agree. I just like it that he said he was going to do it, and he did it, didn't pussyfoot around and just give random negs to people he doesn't know. He just negged down the line.

I was looking through my posts, and I have enough security related posts to still have addict status.
About the AP assigning though: AP's were created to reward people that made good posts about computers/security. But lets face it that quit working from day one. Everyone gives positive AP's to anything they find funny, not just security related stuff. I try my best to assign AP's to posts that deserve it.
I think that assigning negative AP's in this thread because no one likes it is not the right thing to do. What harm is this thread doing? Its not showing up on the main page, its in GCC, and I believe we are thinking about moving it to a conference room so that post count will not be affected.
Now when I did start posting in this thread I was already a senior member. Now I'm know that compared to the older members I'm still a newb, but I didn't gain anything from this thread. I just find this thread a fun place to come and talke about anything we want.
Thats my .2 cents.

Well this is the lamest i've ever seen . What in gods name has WW2 to do with you being negged. Or is that the only chapter you ever opened in your history book ?
At least I read it once I had it open :p
WWII was DEMOCRACY v's totalitarianism.................DEMOCRACY has the implicit assumption of freedom of speech encapsulated in its ethos?
I think that this thread serves a purpose in that it keeps a lot of trivia out of the other threads? I have not noticed anything particularly untoward in it either
I do NOT believe that a couple of people have the right to dictate to the majority........
That is because I can spell "democracy", and know what the term means (Democrates = Greek philosopher etc.) ;)
All I can suggest is that "if you don't like the heat......stay out of the kitchen"

nihil, how old are you anyway? 50+? 60+?
alittlebitnumb
Yes 50+................one of the "old Farts" :D
Cheers
While Demokrates indeed was a Greek philosopher (actually: since the name was very common, there were probably dozens of Greek philosophers named Demokrates), that is not were the term comes from...Quote:

Demos = Greek for "the people"
Kratia = Greek for "authority"
And this thread is the most-discussed thread in the Moderators forum, Nihil... don't worry about us not knowing what's going on :)
The problem is that everybody has a different opinion on this thread. I as well believe that this thread keeps a lot of "crap" out of the other threads. I can't agree with the "negging just for the negging" that's going on in here, though, and definitely not when it's coming from multiple accounts from the same user.
I don't want to close this thread since it's popular and keeps the other threads clean. As with any other forum, however, AP-abuse will not be tolerated. Any AP-abuse will be investigated and dealt with accordingly.
Anyone fancy a pint?
Maybe a couple pints for me :D
Don't drink =/
