What happened? 

Yesterday I had 2,012 credit. Today I have 690 credit. What happened to all my credit? I can't imagine someone spending all their time to look up all my posts and give me negative credit for them. What happened? Why and how did I lose 1,312 over night? Someone want to explain this too me? If I was going to be discredited like that shouldn't I have recieved some sort of personal message telling me why. Someone has to explain this to me.

Re: What happened? 

I hope that its just a glitch to the system. Did you go back and look at all your posts to see if you had negative credit on them? just another reason why you should have to sign in and leave a sig for the admins to see if you give negative credit in my opinion. all it takes in one person to rate all your posts with a negative to massivly affect your credit here on game amp.

Good luck mate, like i said I hope its a glitch.

Edit: copied post from another topic that I did not want to type in all over again...lol

I think that they should implement into the forums a record that only admin has access too. The record will track who gives credit or negative credit to each post. This way, if admin see's that the same person is either power crediting ot power discrediting one person over all other's, or is doing it to the whole group they can track it.

The reason to track it would be to see if the person was having a bad day, or was just flaming certain people. I think only admin should have the access to who gives the credit so that we don't end up with a negative credit war on our hands to mess up a good community of helpful people.

I personely would like to see the forums set up so that if you give negative credit, you have to post why you did. Still keeps it so your name is prevy only to the admin unless you put your name into the post yourself.

If you are going to give negative credit to a person then have the guts to put your name with it so that you can explain why you dished out the negative in the first place. Or PM that person and please explain to them so they don't have to wonder why they got flamed. I know some should not need an explaination, but we all need to be held responcible for our actions. Otherwise we will fail as soceity.

If you give negative credits because of spelling and grammar think about this; the person you are flaming may not be as well educated as you are, might be from another counrty and english is a second language, or be like me and can't spell worth a damn...lol to many years of spell check sorry!...lol

If I offended you with my reasoning and lengthy bantering, then you should not have read this far down in the first place. ;- ) j/k If I made you stop and think, or gave you an idea of something to rebuttle me with, YeeeHaa!! I feel better now and thank you for the up and comming make me use my brain to answer you sessions.

Dracorian say's If she's worth the ride, she's worth my time...

\"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ~ WOW, what a ride!!!\"

\"Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf\"

I've decided to dedicate my body to a medical
school, and just before I die, I'm going
to swallow a little plastic toy. That way,
the medical student who cuts me open will
get a nice surprise. I just hope the other
medical students aren't sad because they
didn't get a toy with their cadaver, too.

Re: What happened? 

So I just went through a couple of your last posts... gave you some +10's but some are still rated -3, -1, +1, and whatnot. Seems like you've had a couple people come through and give you some massive negative credits. :\

Re: What happened? 

Wow, go down that much in one night. I'd give you +10 but i think that would lessen the amount you've gotten so far anyway. Maybe THIS thread has your answer.

Re: What happened? 

I just wanted to ease everyone's mind and let you all know that we DO know that this was not a malicious user rating posts negatively.

We are still working on the problem, and hopefully everything will be straightened out by tomorrow morning.

And as soon as the problem is taken care of we will inform you of what happened.

I'm not sure if it will be via news or forum, but if it is forum I will make sure to pin the topic. It will be under the site feedback section.

Also I'm moving this thread there for easier access to it.

RE: What happened? 

so, he was banned. What counts as credit exploit? did he just get accounts and bump his, discredit others? or did he have some kind of hack?

no offence cruger but if you had properly read the posts then you would have found out that ariance was exploiting the system and was therefore banned.
