Kilaak Kommander thinks the hu-man points system is a sham and a lie.

I'd never thought I'd say this but I agree with KILAAK KOMMANDER

I guess that editing problem is coming back.

I'm most active in the Minecraft forum, and you don't get points for posting in there.

Is it still down?
Edit 1.
Not broken just received positive points.

Edit 2.

Received 0 points for Prior edit. seems fixed.

No, it still does it, or at least it did a few weeks ago. I was editing my workshop initial posts frequently and they started to go sharply negative rather quickly, to the point that I stopped updating them. The negative points should only occur on posts that start a new topic in forums that give points (ie not Minecraft or Trading).

Exactly

Over the last couple of weeks I've lost several hundred points editing posts... is this going to be fixed for once and for all?

It's a mod for phpBB, not written by any of us.
There have been no updates for it and the setting is set to 0.

Just don't edit posts!


*EDIT*
Just added an edit.

*EDIT #2*
Didn't take any points off me.
Maybe it is just mocking you. Waiting for you to carefully edit your post, smiling as you click that submit button, then takes points off ya as you scream at the screen.

*EDIT #3*
Wait a minute....I see what's happening here....

*EDIT #4*
Nothing. Nothing is happening. Still not taking points off me.

*EDIT #5*
For scientific purposes, made a fifth edit and still nothing, nada, nichts, rien, aon rud ar chor ar bith, nuffink, zilch, nenion, dim byd

*EDIT #6*
Dammit..I'm a scientist, so I conducted this edit at a temperature of 21C, with my keyboard carefully aligned with the magnetic North Pole, my screen set to 50% brightness, while scratching an itch on my left leg and yelling at my nine year old.
Still nothing to report.

I've found that it typically removes points for removing content from a post. If you delete a word and replace it with a shorter word, it'll take away points, stuff like that.

It probably can't happen to you, Dog, as you have moderator powers, so can edit anything at any time without it being noted. I don't think I've lost points since gaining mod powers, either.

It also seems to take away points when people have posted after you...at least that has been my experience.

I managed to reach -10,000 points: http://www.thevilluns.org/forums/viewto ... less+quest before JD erased all of my hard work. Embrace the allure of negative points.
