Hi lletea.

Thank you for your message. For starters, please mind your language. Secondly, you are correct. It appears that someone here created about 20 accounts or so and manipulated with the ratings. We've deleted those records and have banned that user from ever accessing our website again. The ratings have been deleted so most of everyone's rank should be restored.

It saddens us to do so considering that we're always open to member feedback in cases where a dispute arises over which messages get deleted and which messages do not. Our goal here is not to punish anyone for their particular opinions, but to provide meanigful feedback over each decision taken place. Some people just couldn't see it that way.

Nonetheless we thank you for pointing that out to us.

Kind Regards,

AGORACOM
