I am fairly sure that they can and would do to stop abuse ( but if I remember rightly from many pages back are, not to be bothered with trivial case when someone is merely, miffed, peeved of piqued).

I remember once reading stats saying that a certain percentage of reps were unsigned. How would you know that unless you could see what they say? Wish I remembered where I saw that though. I'll go look... after all... I really don't feel like writing my paper.

EDIT: I found it! Look at me, look at me!

Has anyone else been watching with interest the "tussle" for second place in the Rep stakes that has been going on this weel? Perhaps even Lalawende's place is not as unassailable as I had assumed..

I don't think Lal needs to worry - I'm currently in second position on 7979 & she's about 650 points in front of me.....

I was rather hoping that 8000 points would mark the beginning of a new level. Alas, it has proven not to be. Can it be that we have reached the end of the line ...?

Well wouldn't that be boring.

It'd end up being just like before (the reputation system), everyone being returned to an equal footing. Well, maybe not that, but we'd all have at least returned to Taniquetil,

Maybe just Clapham Junction...... perhaps you have to hit 10K which considering how many points (lol I typed pints the first time!) you guys up there must be chucking out... may not be so very long... ( and 8K is a not even on my horizon yet).

Yes it has been rather interesting to watch the three switch back and forth. When Boromir88 first broke through it seemed so strange, not inappropriate however, but just weird to see somebody else beside SpM and Davem in the spot.

And besides - if I translate correctly what you have just said is both, vulgar, religious and political.....
