    Appeal.. this is the only way to reduce the influence of the "report monkeys".

    Oh darling, I've had answers reported two YEARS after they were posted...and since some were awarded BA, that means that the question was deleted, as well.

    Listen to darling Witchy...she is 100% correct. The tattle simians are staging an attempt to take over the section, and they've targeted you because of who you know. They've apparently decided that they're going to report anyone who doesn't toe their ideological line and all of their friends into oblivion, and they're mining our old Q&A to do it.

    Just keep appealing every VN you get - be aware that, although you do nothing wrong, that doesn't mean that your VNs will be overturned. I've had appeals for absolutely, perfectly proper Q&A denied, and had VNs overturned on appeals that even I knew were shaky. Appeals seem to have a completely random outcome, so just keep trying.

    To protect yourself, pick your favorite punctuation mark and let that be your name for a while.

    Good luck, darling!

  • Well, hello there!

    I told you what was going on, you got marked because "they" found the stars I and my contacts gave you. You are targeted.Go to your activity, the tab is up there ^, next to your avatar pic is a blue "my preferences" link, click on it, set your profile, to "private" If it isn't already, {did I already walk you through this?} but, leave your email open.

    I'm sorry Sis, but, you're going to have to change your user name to a punctuation mark for a while, you've been marked for removal. You need to appeal the deletion too, you never ask anything that warrants a report, you should win it, the more VNs you can overturn the more the tattle simians lose "credibility". It help cut down on some of the chaos they can cause.

    I'm going to email you with the rest of the instructions, watch for em!

    Edit: Listen to God!

    {{ Eartha and God}}} this is my sister, this is happening to her because of US. Me in particular, but, because she is also contacts with a few other key players in this wargame.

    Thanks for being nice to her, she's kind of new at this.

    Edit .2 Heh, that's funny, I've got God, Satan and Jesus Christ on a Bicycle for contacts!

    It's a vindictive vendetta. Someone reported an answer of mine from about 8 months ago last week. As a result, I'm now a hyphen. Protect yourself.

  • lol....Listen there is no rhyme or reason to anything that happens in this place. I have checked accounts which are already suspended and found that I am still getting both Violations and Best Answers. Last time I had an account suspended, I had it awarded a TC Badge two weeks later...now explain that one to me. There was my old avatar, unavailable for me or anyone else to read anything said in its name...with a shiny orange badge sparkling in the e-afterlife....

    They do it to drive you insane...I'm sure of it.

    Either that or someone is putting methamphetamine in the sugar dispenser at the Yahoo Staffers Tea Room.

    Source(s): And as for the "why do you care" person...well obviously mate because it was HER who had it happen...it's hardly fecking rocket science that, is it?

    I agree there's no point to it, but some people have their issues. Unfortunate that we have to be affected, instead of them getting their heads straight.

    Great question. Fear? Loathing? Ego maybe? All of the above.
