    I think that is a bit much but if it curves trolling on new accounts, I guess it's not so bad.

    I don't know about you but I thought the flagging system worked good for trolls. We had like 1 or 2 trolls after the previous system and after they posted in 2 or so thread their membership was revoked. I actually liked the previous system more as this one make it extremely hard for new people to get involved.

    Something else had to have changed too. I avoid posting much and have never accumulated any Agrees or Disagrees but have a super old account and 120 points. Prior to today I could do everything and had Member status. A little bit ago, I tried to send a PM to a friend and got a page saying "Permission Problem. You don't have permission to do that." ... Never mind that I've sent many messages in days past.<br />
    <br />
    <br />
    I wonder how I get back up to Member<br />
    /sigh

    @klb685, I am sorry to hear that, but how did that happen ? Hope some likes from me can help you out.

    Personally, I'm torn. I don't like that it will make it harder for new members to join in but the other way certainly made it easy for trolls to harass people. If the flags didn't eventually lead to banning, I wouldn't care personally but since the flags likely had to be vetted by a forum mod, more chance for a careless or disinterested mod to just ban someone rather than double-check things. At least this way, the trolls actually have to put some work into seriously trolling.

    I agree 100% plus reporting trolls is now a hassle for me.

    We still have our points :)
    I stopped caring, I almost reached 400 disagrees and since they didn't deduct points it wasn't much of a bother

    Aww man---and just when I finally made it past 50 points! 100 is now the magic number? *sad face* That is going to take me a really long time, I'm not much of a poster, more of a lurker, lol

    I'm not very fond of the new point system. You can't even use emoties, which is silly.

    @06Bon06---Thanks! I will check that thread out. Yes, I am sad that I cannot use something so simple as an emotie. *insert emotie* lol It also figures that I would get the numbers backwards! lolz Is that Gollum with hair in your avatar?

    @ktb0513---I agree with you totally, but since there isn't an agree button anymore, I will just go back and like your posts! *insert another emotie here*

    Same :( I rarely feel strongly to post. This is the only forum I known that does this. *ridiculous* smh

    I can understand if they want to do it for people just registering now, but to take it away from people who already earned it is annoying.
