Apparently it is not allowed to complain about the server being slow.

I tried to check if I should congratulate you on a new personal record, but apparently I can't sort other people's posts by rating. Oh well.

And why is is it apparently forbidden to complain about a really ridiculously slow server?

By the way, in my eyes this (giving positive or negative points to other people's postings anonymously) is a feature for cowards.

If it were forbidden, I'd imagine the post wouldn't be here anymore. It's more a matter of Internet Points.

For the record, I'm fine with posts telling us the server is slow.

I didn't vote you down because you said the server was slow.

I voted you down because you said it like a spastic twelve year old who just discovered text formatting.

I mean, I would have actually posted, but I figured I didn't want to actually point out you had now gotten yourself into a position where I, Banjooie--

like, seriously here

where I can look at you and tell you to stop being an immature jerk the way you're posting. Do you not feel the slightest bit of shame or remorse at that point?

Like, you could have been like

'Hey, the site's been really slow for me lately. Has anyone else had this issue?'

'I seem to be experiencing high latency lately. Could someone look into this?'

Or you could have been a jerk but /funny/, like

'Guys who took the frigging server on a bike ride again'

'Can someone please just inject caravel forum into my veins if noone is going to fix the lag problem'

No, your choice was to be curt, boring, and mildly embarassing to read.

See, the way I see it, the point of modding down is to generally show communal disapproval of a style of posting, and I just can't support being a jerk in a boring fashion.

Ergo, I made your pretend internet points vanish.

So basically, what your saying is, if ppl dsnt tlk lk u do or doesn't want to write properly, you mod them down lk if their acting lk littl chidrn!!!11!one!

Because people have normal lives too, people whose english isn't their first language, they can't say things here?

Just because we're not eloquent, effluent or effective as you are, you feel like it's okay to just mod people down the way you like???

You win. I'm going into lurking mode again.

And if you want to mod me down, remember one thing, *whatever was here has been edited out, doesnt matter anyways*

Good luck Banj, I really hope that in the rest of your life you'll only meet people who can talk like you, so that you don't have the need to crush anyone. Have a nice life. This is the very last time* I will respond to you, any further discussion is unnecessary, and I can't bear writing this eloquent anyway.

*) never say never, but a discussion where you're going to mod me down isn't a discussion worth having. i might want to discuss with you in the future, but i won't bet on it.

Oh, and call me anything you want, cos you will.

...I wasn't aware there was a subset of ESL that caused font color and size increases, Tim.

But, yes, actually, I'm going to argue that modding down is a personal choice based on how one wants to see the community, and you're just as free to spend your points to mod it back /up/ as I am to mod it down in the first place.

Frankly, I think you can mod down for any reason you want. The points belong to you, you earned them doing whatever it is you did, so to say there's an objective truth on how to use the points correctly is moderately absurd.

That said, modding down may or may not be cowardice, but I'm pretty sure the definition is somewhat more clear when you're basically surfacing to snipe at someone, and then declaring you refuse to discuss the issue. Not that Tim accused me of it, but while we're having solid examples float around the room I thought I'd point it out.

Wow, lots of upmods in a thread all about downmods.

I think I'll come out of lurker mode and necro a thread for this.
