This member rating of 1 discourages me from participating in this forum. It is not the figure that is an issue, it is the rating itself that is an issue for me. I feel insulted and offended.
May I suggest you grow a thicker skin, and also recognize that the member rating system means absolutely nothing.

Sanity prevails. DrJones just received a 5 for this simple, yet elegant post.
And thus the meaninglessness of the member rating system is further illustrated. When a 1 line post by me can recieve the same rating as one of RAZD's great posts from the Dates and Dating topics and also match the rating of one of Buz's posts that are so full of stupidity that they threaten to cause mental retardation in the reader it is clear that the system is useless.

Jones, the system isn't meaningless.
Sure it is, Taz arbitrarily gives out 1s and you arbitrarily counter those with 5's. His 1's aren't based on the content of the post and neither are your 5's.
Though I'm going on about the member rating system I do want to make it clear that I very much appreciate all the time and effort Percy puts into this place.

it seems to mean a lot to some people
And I suggest that those people re-examine their priorities
But on a serious note, if it really does mean nothing, then why have it?
What is its purpose?
Ask Percy
