Note the current # 3 http://wordforge.net/memberlist.php?order=DESC&sort=reputation&pp=25 Gotta say, I'm impressed. I noticed a while back that they were doing this, but I had no idea they have managed to even get Dayton on to the first page. Bravo, gentlemen but you have only achieved yet another demonstration that you're all a bunch of whiny bitches. Time to let it go.
Am I the only one for whom the link in the OP doesn't work? Dayton is not showing as number 3 for me. In fact he's showing as red? Who changed it? In fact, what the fuck is going on??
Yeah, someone did change the rep. I dunno if Dayton asked for it to be changed or someone on staff took it upon themselves to troll the rep warriors in doing so. If it's the latter, you've pretty much undermined all that stuff about rep not being so important to be cared about.
I doubt Dayton would ever ask to be put in the red. As much as he's a total gimp, one thing I don't think Dayton has ever expressed any interest in is rep (happy for him to correct me on this). No, I'd put money on this being someone's tiresome attempt to make an issue out of rep again. After all those polls, where each and every one showed that the majority of posters preferred the new system, why the fuck are a select groups of people still unable to let it go? It's just a toy FFS.
It's only a big deal if someone makes a big deal about it. Changing rep around arbitrarily does not make it more important, it in fact makes it less important. Anyone's rep can be changed at the flip of a switch, that's how unimportant it is.
Actually even in this era of "neutered rep" it is a big deal. Don't fuck with members shit unless they ask for it. If Dayton3 didn't ask to be set max red then it shouldn't have happened.
What was my arbitrary sig change the other day, and now this, me thinks a mod may be on the slide....
