Straight up...I like the AP system...it has a purpose and fills it quite nicely. My problem is the language that some of the members choose in the comments. As an example...

Let's see....shut the **** up man. Do you think ur respected or some all-knowing god? your about as respected as the dumbass who posted and/or knowledgesponge. damn, stop acting like ur smarter than you are. honestly
Now I'm all for freedom of speech...but I'm also a big supporter of manners and eloquent communication skills...and using the "F" word definitely is NOT eloquent. While I realize that it has become a part of our language and culture, that doesn't excuse using it in the manner evidenced above. The negs really don't bother me....it's the degrading language that some of our less tactful members use to get their "point" ( or lack thereof) across.

To cut to the chase, it would be nice to see an algorithym that picks up on blatent use of insulting and derogatory terms and deducts AP's from the kiddiot who sends them. Maybe one that detects a pattern and after a certain number of occurances smacks down the offender and teaches him (or her, though the females I've met here impress me as being above such things) that you should show a modicum of respect for your fellow members. No, I'm not advocating censorship, just appealing for a method that would make a portion of AO a lot less abusive. Food for thought...
