Scout, the ranking should reflect real opinion of your posts to the members of the forum and not on sentiment.
I, as an example received several thousand points right in the beginning and I presume for no other reason than I was trying to get well healed members to switch over from Sh to here.
I would gladly part with those very points, and I wrote to Agoracom to move them over to at least a couple of more deserving than me members here, to no avail.
Frankly I do not want the responsibility for deciding whether someone else's post is deserving to be here or not, or whether it is inflamatory etc.
In my opinion too many cooks in the kitchen already and I would very much like to step out into the dinning room.
If it matters to you, please put in yout two cents to the management that Ed here would like to present you with a 'if sentimental' gift of up to half my points.
You would be doing me a favour, Tia.
