Some people get ratings raped when they go into OTD. It's like a really close, but horribly dysfunctional family in there.
Which is why I've been here almost two years and haven't posted in there. I just don't know the regulars that well besides a few. Maybe one of these days I'll subject myself to the anal fisting or ratings over there.
I wouldn't blame the ratings system tho man, it's just OTD like I said. I just checked out your ratings, and it seems everyone you've talked to in the Pub has given you a +5 including myself (I think I was one of the first ones). So try not to take it personally. You're good people.

Ratings are all fun and games until someone gets a zero
Honestly dude, I'm fine with somebody giving me a zero if it's based on something substantive. Like say if I was overly aggressive in an argument or resorted to flaming. But all I did was give somebody a +5 rating, who happens to be on their shit-lists. I've never even posted with these people before.
You did call everyone in OTD "tards" in the rating you left for mjmihalov. This isn't the proper forum for this discussion though seeing as Pub vs OTD threads are a bannable offense.

It really isn't a pub vs otd thread though.
Yeah, he said otd is retarded or something like that, but I do believe the ratings rape was the point of the OP,

It was not a "us vs them" thread, it was a call to attention on the violation of rule #5 of your own forum buddy. No matter how you worded your post, it's clearly a ratings rape thread, anyone with half a brain can see.

You are new around here so your lack of understanding as to what constitutes a ratings rape is to be expected.
Ratings rapes consist of a group of people singling out a member and rating them negatively for absolutely no reason.
You were rated negatively for calling a group of members retards and for supporting someone of questionable moral integrity. This is not a ratings rape. And it isn't against OTD rules to create a thread with the purpose of alerting people to insults directed towards them elsewhere on the site.

Yah the rating system is really stupid. I have some bad ratings too. Most are from losers in TEXAS because I said some shit about texas. I mean, I don't fucking know why anyone would want to live here, truthfully. People here act like big shots but they're complete pussies when you get to know them. Why else do you think everyone here loves the dallas cowboys?
But anyway, I would opt out of ratings, but I use them for trades. I only trade with someone with good trade ratings.

Embrace the bad ratings op give no fucks. Stop being butthurt embrace the inner asshole .
-------------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

I like where you chose to remove content from that post, very convenient. It's pretty funny, having the context of knowing your posting habits before you got spanked for skirting certain rules, that you're trying to white knight. It's even more amusing that the very best conceivable argument you can conjure up is editing that quote, therefor taking it out of context, and then attacking a non-existent, harebrained logic. Not the first time you pulled a straw man out of your ass, though, so I'd be lying if I said I'm surprised.
So, to put GeoMcCheeseburgers' statement back into context, here's the rest of that post.
Quote:
GeoMcCheeseburgers said: You were rated negatively for calling a group of members retards and for supporting someone of questionable moral integrity. This is not a ratings rape. And it isn't against OTD rules to create a thread with the purpose of alerting people to insults directed towards them elsewhere on the site.
The bolded text is the only substantiative foundation necessary to validate the ratings received by the whiner in question.
Have a nice day.

It doesn't matter what the reasoning is, a ratings rape thread is still a ratings rape thread...
