Does this make sense?
RainbowTigress:
More drama. I posted a reply on this thread back in July:
http://www.variousimmers.net/vsimforum/showthread.php?p=27112
It was right after JMP left VS, and Rentech instituted the reputation system. As most of you might know, Rentech redid the "monikers" that relate to post count because if I recall correctly, JMP had something to do with the previous ones and she didn't like them. So I mentioned that I noticed that everyone's moniker had changed in my post. Now several months later, after several people have posted between then and now, she decides to reply to my post. And she does so in a manner to make it sound as though I were obtuse and pointing out the obvious, although her post is filled with spelling errors as most of her posts lately are. ??? My comment about monikers had nothing to do with rep. I try to point this out, but when I reply, my reply does not show up on the thread. So I try posting again, with the same result. It has yet to show up. Someone else responded and their response went right through. So I figure I must be on "moderated status" like Inge is, although I've not said anything over there in a long time. It doesn't even show me as a moderated user as I have seen labeled on others' accounts. I thought I'd share the latest in the continuing saga. :-\
Here's the relevant portion of the thread and my response in case it never gets posted:

Re: Would you use a remove reputation button?
I have been using the add to reputation button but have yet to see anyone's reputation change. How much does it take to make it change? Also, has anyone noticed that everyone's moniker has changed?

I made it clear from the being, that to avoid 'gie me reputation' posts that reputation has nothing to do with titles or 'moniker'. The Title a person, as a regular member is due to an algorythm based on number posts divided by a secret receipe to keep people from just posting to get the title change. Other titles are changed because some access leves have the right to use a custom title - it would not work to have rep cahnge a title someone picked from themselves or had to change back to what they wanted all the time.
All repulation goes is to making the reputation image darker or lighter or to add addition rep graphics. That is all it does.
My response which hasn't shown up yet.
I'm not sure why you are just now responding to this. I originally posted this way back in July right after a certain modder left this site. The monikers all changed at that time, and I had just noticed it. It had nothing to do with the reputation button.
Speaking of which, I don't seem to have a reputation button anymore, do you know why that is? I had 16 reputation points at one time, but they are gone now.
P.S. I tried to post this before, but it didn't go through for some reason.

LOL I bet she went through here and wrote all our names down and put us all on moderated status. We've all got the scarlett letter it seems.

Oddysey, I think it is, does this stuff better, you know the 'double plus ungood' stuff, but this whole situation does feel really orwellian to me. Disappearing text, text which gets altered in the night and an undercurrent of secrecy on shifting sands. Threads here are helping to create a sense of continuity and reality, validating peoples' knowledge of things that have happened.
Eh? What? Did I miss something? What is it that I do? And if I don't do it, who does?
Oddysey: the Terminally Clueless.
I must agree, though. It is quite Orwellian. And I'm thinking that it may be time to bring out the "Ye Olde Revelator" schtick and unleash upon Rentech and Co. Or possibly point out, in a bad russian accent, that "Boris is not sending seven PMs, since Boris is not talking to anyone, let alone Rentech person. Boris would tell Rentech this himself, but is too busy leaving country to be involving self in paranoid fantasies."
I still occasionally read there, but haven't posted or tried to post in ages. I'll have to check to see if I'm on moderated or otherwise experiencing account weirdness. If I am, it may be time to dust off yet another persona. "Human, door, separate! Must fix!" <powers up arcwelder>

LOL Funny you should say that. After my comment in Twojeffs goodbye thread she put me said status. What I find even funnier is I haven't been back since and won't be going back. Only my opinion but, Rentwit is seriously suffering from borderline personality or Bi-Polar disorder. Hell maybe it's a mix of the two.

she is defntely suffering from something and you maybe right.I wonder how many more of us would be thrown into the same pool if she ventured over here to read what the majority of us really think of her bizarre behavior. personally speaking it would make my day if she would ban me or rather throw me into abyss aas has done to you and others here.
