You've never highlighted what it is you find "scary". We're living in an online universe where our self-worth is determined by a number, where latex cops play with psycho trolls, and where avatars range from blue... dogs? to many varieties of penguin. And I'm scary? One day per poster.

No...
I just never realized penguins were so popular. It's like "Happy Feet" in here. ;D

We're living in an online universe where our self-worth is determined by a number, where latex cops play with psycho trolls, and where avatars range from blue... dogs? to many varieties of penguin. And I'm scary? Exactly!!! All that and you still manage to be unique! AND you really do know computer programming! Not like the all talk trolls we get around here.

I like MU and am sorry to see the same cr*p that happened over there being brought here. I think it's time for some of us to find a new home. Au Revoir, everyone.

"I think she needs my karma more than you unrepentant...sorry" Have you seen her number?? She's never getting out of the negative.... I, OTOH, can make it to 10 with your help

I don't know MU from Adam's house cat but I withdraw my earlier comparison of him with BobNDC. Virgil Synod alone holds that uncomplimentary status.
I do have a sense of humor but "pranks" that require irresponsible power to pull off smack of abuse of authority and a decidedly tilted playing field.

Not sure who set POM's karma, but it's back at 30. Anybody know what it was originally? I'm assuming by the -9997 that she was voted up three times, so the proper "restore" will add 3 to her original value.

I'll exalt you, LA if you really mean it about leaving and finding a new, hopefully germ-free, home...

Her and I have an understanding (changing it back now, so my poll doesn't seem stupid)

I think you should all check out J's latest poll - it seems that Virgil probably isn't the only one to be 'pranking' around here.

I've said it like 3 times already! I changed her karma. And I just put it back down there! She's well aware who is spanking her bottom

Tilted how? The mechanism I used didn't require any administrative privileges--simply a (public domain) understanding of the ProBoards API.
Even netscapenavigator figured out how to do it.
However, for sake of argument, sir might kindly enlighten us as to how concepts such as "abuse" and "irresponsibility" apply to changing the value of an integer that has no demonstrable significance whatsoever.

Or translated into English: Why are people getting so upset about something silly? It's fake karma on a message board, for God's sake, not your kid, or money, or your job, or something important.

But I thought that you prefer to sneak up from behind in a crowded room to spank bottoms.

I know what her karma was -- I set it specifically so I could remember. But according to the poll, she's not getting it back anytime soon

If Virgil's knowledge of JS and/or PHP threatens the global balance of power as we know it, then either A) We are all in a world of trouble; or B) Someone probably needs to dust off their scripting manuals to see that it is not an abuse of power in the least.

As long as he continues to use his knowledge to implement my dastardly schemes (as soon as I come with any), it'll all be good.
