You can rate a person more than once, there's just some kind of arbitrary cooldown on it. What seems to be happening is actually a reverse of what you're describing -- the people who cared enough to give +internets have basically stopped giving them for the most part, whereas the guys who like to give -internets are still on in full force. Since negative internets are generally funnier, I wouldn't be surprised to see the majority of everyone in the negatives, or at the very best hovering around 0, at some point.

With the exception of Wolfen and it looks like Millie, the top 10 have been steadily sliding downwards since the first week or so it was live.

I think only people with more internets than you should be able to give you "- internets". I'm a 02er and I'm pissed off that some 07er (or, Holy Mother of Holy Baby Jesus, 08ers) pubbies can give me "- internets" because they believe this board is an extension of the WoW forums.

Also, you shouldn't be able to give or take internets from a post older than, say, one week. I got - internets because of a post I made before (and about) the fucking Iraq war.

I'm oscillating, so far, between +7 and -2 internets. I wouldn't care if minuses weren't given out like candies. -1 internets for posting good infos about the WoW engine? Jesus. With acts like this, the system is just meaningless.

Just disable it showing your internets on the posts. You can't let the multitude of retards here bother you in real life.

Yeah, my internets rating causes me severe sleep deprivation.

Sorry for commenting the system, I thought the admins would be interested in suggestions.

aychamo_aycono · 07-09-2008, 11:49 AM

Well, you seemed upset in your post :0

Dis · 07-09-2008, 03:15 PM

Eh, I turned mine off. Too many uninteresting comments. Fun toy at first, but bored with it now.

Caocao · 07-10-2008, 09:47 AM

pretty sure these internet's are here to stay, so why not embrace 'em instead of bitching out =/

Quineloe · 07-11-2008, 09:44 AM

How many internets do you have to give out before you can internets someone again? I gave 20 + and 22 - since I internetsed someone and still can't internets him again.

MrGraham · 07-15-2008, 07:00 PM

I believe that although the message implies you will be able to give someone more than 1 internet that in fact it is not possible at this juncture.

Araxen · 07-16-2008, 03:49 PM

Yeah, the message is fake. You can only give out +/- internetz to a person once.

Josh · 07-17-2008, 04:15 PM

why just once? thats kinda stupid

we'll never be able to the truly great heights(or depths) of internets

Eduardo · 07-26-2008, 06:51 AM

I just think they would be more fun if not anon. At least, it seems there would be less "eat a fucking cock, you douchebag" going around... But hey, if that is what gets some people off! Actually I guess I could see the humor in spending a day giving everyone on the forums -internets with "eat a fucking cock, you douchebag" as the comment... or something similar

chu · 07-26-2008, 01:22 PM

I'd like to suggest a 1 month ban after -100 internets followed by perma ban at -200.

Makata is very close :P
