I don't really do reputation points, either, unless I were to rewrite the entire system for my negative-points-only system, and there are no real "posting ranks". You just get different insulting titles.

Alliterative insulting titles, in alphabetical order. I wonder if they go all the way up to Z . . .

I suspect the alliteration is a (possibly mocking) homage to the Maxis-flavored titles.

Regarding the whole avatar issue:

I can't see the big deal about the person avatar seeing that that my avatar a VS was and still is a pic of a pair of old sim men making out.

The whole time I was commenting in the F**king MTS2 thread I was waiting for my PM. Cheesy

Either way it's all bullshit.

If the Maxis reference thing is true, I wonder if any of them will be as good as "No Account Nickel Monkey?" That title alone is half the reason I play fortune sims. The other half is "Penniless Peon."

I think the reason both you and Syberspunk get away with that easily is because anyone who tries to complain runs the risk of coming across as homophobic, which tends to get the complaint ignored.

Those are pretty good, but no, the titles are not a reference to any particular Maxian behavior. They're actually derived from a random comment on the now-defunct rentech.com boards.

In other news, it has now been brought to my attention that Rentech has been writing board posts in my name on rentech.com now.

This post was not written by me. It is not officially or unofficially endorsed or approved by me, and does not represent the opinions of either myself or More Awesome Than You. Note that I'm still banned, although Rentech has taken to being much less subtle about it by force-setting my rep to 5 red. Amusing. And Rentech is now posting her own posts under my name, presumably to then complain that I've written something inappropriate.

No, J.M. was saying that he didn't post his post in the thread, as far as I understand it.

What?!?  Rennie's posting under your name?   No I think what she probably did was edit down the comments and just left your reply there.   She does delete comments in those threads to keep them as news or announcements only.  I think you did post that but it was not the first message in the thread before.

Well yes but it's a bizarre idea to think that she might be posting site ads to his site in her name.  She barely has time to post the stuff she's meant to let alone post for other people  Huh

I think the whole situation is bizarre!  Whoever heard of two grown people fighting over something as trivial as an avatar!  (Alright, JMP, I hear you, it's not you that's fighting, you're just reacting or whatever!)

This post was not written by me...

At least it was pretty much benign, but I can imagine how frustrating it must be to see your name show up on something that someone else posted, even if it's trivial.  That would annoy the frijoles outta me.

The silliest part is that I don't see the point of listing your name as the author of the post.  I'm sure it must have seemed like a good idea to someone (presumably Rentech) at the time, but why bother?

It was written by Pescado.  I remember seeing that thread before the thread was moved, and at the time it was originally posted it was in reply to someone asking where Pescado was going.   He replied to it himself as he still had posting rights.

In recent days, Rennie must have split the message from the thread so that it could go in the site links forum, where it had a better chance of people finding it when they searched.   That would have given it a new datestamp.   It's just good housekeeping to put messages in the forum people would most expect to find them in.

At SimFreaks when we move a post, the original place it was put is still shown, mainly so the poster can see what's happened to their post and find it again.  In that case, the original posting date is still obvious!

In fact I just checked with Rentechd and she says he still had posting rights there and posted it himself on the date as displayed.

Honestly Pescado I do wish you'd stop playing with human beings and their feelings as if they were your Sims.   It's one thing messing about and playing a joke, but you're going too far now and Rennie is genuinely upset by the things you've been saying.   Please just leave it out now.

I most certainly did not. The post-date is listed as "Yesterday, 8:18 AM". At which time I was busily playing with SimCity and barely posted *HERE*, let alone on rentech.com. Therefore, I have no idea who wrote that, but it wasn't me, since I most certainly have never started a thread in the site links section at all. As for this claim that I supposedly still have posting rights, that was hardly true at last check. I suppose I shall check again now, to see if Rentech has lied about this, which will register as an activity stamp.

Doing so.

Oh, cute. Not unsurprisingly, my password has been wiped out. Undoubtedly so Rentech could login as me and post that. More Rentechoid lies.

Honestly Pescado I do wish you'd stop playing with human beings and their feelings as if they were your Sims.   It's one thing messing about and playing a joke, but you're going too far now and Rennie is genuinely upset by the things you've been saying.   Please just leave it out now.
There is no "joke". If Rentech is claiming to be upset, this is lies and propaganda, because Rentech started this.

Helpfully note that Rentech has graffitied my board reputation. I care little about such things, but getting 4 red squares ain't something that happens naturally. Besides, it's not even really my login anymore, since the password has been changed.

I will consider the matter closed only when Rentech has agreed to resolve the matter. It is entirely in her hands, as this is hardly my doing.

Yes, yes. My point is that it is not naturally occurring, it's something Rentech did, probably in hopes it would cause me distress and consternation, or at least be entertaining in some way. It also happens to graphically symbolize my banned state, including the fact that I can't actually login at all anymore, let alone simply login and not be able to do anything including read the posts. Yep, very banned. No lies or joking here. If anyone's lying to you, it's Rentech.

Most of that is just the forum software behaving unpredictably.  Maybe people who are banned from posting do get their green squares stripped automatically.  And there's recently been a spate of people shut out accidentally, as some people in this thread found out.  You have to have eyes at the bottom of your feet to control these forum apps properly :0

You're both getting into a real state over this, you should both just enjoy the individually very good sites you each have now and let the whole thing go.  I've said much the same to her, that it's not worth getting wound up about.   There's just a whole load of misunderstandings and paranoia taking over and the whole thing is setting an appalling example to any easily influenced people reading it.
