PLEASE READ THIS Rookie contacted me to ask if we'd agreed on rules for this thread. The reason he asked is because 2 members have down-repped one of the participants on at least 5 occasions. As such, there is nothing in the forum rules to stop this. However, if there are rules in place for the thread, then (as he has said earlier) at least etiquette dictates that it shouldn't be done. I think that if 1 player is being frequently down-repped then it smacks of a personal attack and that is just plain wrong. So, I propose we agree to some sort of rules. My thoughts are simply this: No down repping at all, unless of course the post is so disgusting/offensive/obnoxious as to warrant it. If that is the case then I hope the poster is reported anyway. If someone's answer doesn't tickle your sense of humor, that doesn't make it wrong. The problem we have - as Tiger Lily has touched on - is that rep points are currently being handed out like confetti. It used to be that you got a rep point for setting a really good puzzle, or giving a really good answer. I won't go too much into the history of it, but I think we may have gone too far down the road to return to the old ways. Please add your own comments, and hopefully we can swiftly get some rules in place.

I've always assumed that downrepping was there to register some sort of disgust with a reply/comment - that it be obnoxious, offensive, insulting - and not because a particular answer/person doesn't meet with your approval. There's something in the Brainden "read this first" section that states that if a puzzle/riddle is not your cup of tea, then let it go and move on to something else. Clearly, that isn't happening in this case. A few of the replies in this thread have been risque, at worst, and generally speaking whoever has posted the reply has acknowledged that (myself included) and more or less said they were expecting some minuses. As I mentioned before, I was downrepped in the Forum thread and I was quoting someone else's signature. Does that mean I'm being downrepped for picking that signature, or was the person actually downrepping the signature?

My 2 cents... Seems to me that all Browsers have there good and bad points: Bear in mind that I'm running XP. If there's something I mention that you know how to correct, please say so. Thanx. IE Pros: Handles just about anything Cons: SOOO slow. Firefox Pros: Comparatively quick - except Cons: I've had applications running under Firefox that lost the right hand 1/3 of the page (OK under IE). My iGoogle homepage takes forever to load. Altering Homepage address is not stored from 1 session to the next. Chrome Pros: Quickest of the lot. Especially good for google maps Cons: That minute font! Does not support AHK applications - important to me, as I use them to access websites daily. Safari Not much experience, but from what I've seen not as quick as Chrome. To get round this, I've installed Browser Chooser, which is a dummy front end Web Browser that allows you to select any one of the browsers you have installed. In Vista and 7 there's the facility to specify URLs to be automatically opened with specific browsers, bypassing the 2nd phase selection. Unfortunately, I can't get that to work in XP. (If anyone knows how, I'd be grateful).
