Randy has historically taken the path of least resistance. It is my opinion that a very vocal minority shouted, cried, whined and blubbered loud and long enough that he just disabled the features.

Despite the efforts of a very vocal MINORITY to constantly repeat the same misinformation, there was no abuse of either the Reputation or Thread Rating systems. There was only whining from people who had thier feelings hurt by the truth.

As for the "infamous forged dings" episode. That horse has long since been poured into an Elmer's bottle. Randy handed down discipline. Case closed.
