I have not as yet received an answer to my question posted to you yesterday on this subject, so I will try again. A few moments ago I gave a poster a green thumb, and a 5 star rating- and his point total decreased by 10 points. From my perspective, points and stars are very important because they indicate the value to the board of that poster, and the esteem in which that poster is held by other members on this forum. The bottom line is that by decreasing someones points when in all reality they should increase- is most disrespectful to that member, and the poster who wishes to show his/her appreciation for the information given. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS INEQUITY!
