The reputation system is very low on my list of priorities. I have better things to do with my time. I check what is going on only when I receive complaints.
However, whenever someone (such as yourself) complains about unfair point deductions and I happen to have some spare time on my hands, I review ALL reputation point transactions (both additions and deductions) to find out what is going on.
In your case, I found that clones have been ADDING to your points which is an abuse of the system just as clone deductions are.
The bottom line... before you complain about anything, make sure you nose is clean or you may end up worse off.
This sort of scenario happens in real life too. A colleague of mine went after the tax man for a refund. The tax department did an investigation and found that he had, in fact, under declared his income over the last 5 years. Instead of a $3000 refund, he ended up having to pay $15,000 in back taxes. 
Your accusation that I am in "cahoots" with a zapper is the most ridiculous statement I have ever come across. I don't need to be in "cahoots" with anyone. I can add or subtract hundreds of thousands of points simply by accessing the database directly. |
1st of all - i dun control your working time n im not interested in your business & operation model in this forum.
2nd - make sure my nose is clean or i may end up worse off? Is that a threaten that you have just made to me? u do not have the means to b a fair judge on this matter n u definitely not IT certified to even find out who are the real owners of clone users in your forum!
3rd - regarding the tax, you have highlighted a good point for me about your forum. How clean n how legal of you operating your forum over here? Well, im definitely not an OKT n have no time n not interested in your so-called clones in your forum unless yr forum is listed in the stock exchange... well tat mayb a different story!
4th - i use the words "i wonder r u in cahoots with this zapper?" This is a question n not an accusation. Unless u have not something not right or in any case whatsoever, if not there should be no reason for u to worry at all, right?
5th - dun 4get your forum is infiltrated with government ppl not only from AV dept whom are also your forum users. Im sure aft the GE, the new team will b more settled down for some new projects!
One word of advise - when u want to make a judgement on your users - do your homework thoroughtly n with evidence before u make your verdict!
Good luck to you!
