Sorry about my prolonged absence. You have no clue how busy and mentally/physically tired I've been for the last week. Luckily, I had a field trip today, so I didn't have to use my brain, and I slept on the way there and the way home.
I'm just wondering; how did I go up 1.7 points on my B/P average, when I wasn't even B/Ping for like 4 days?
Compared to the way I have been absent from this thread yours absence looks like a person falling asleep for a few hours at the keyboard. Also as for my blam gun I almost put the thing down completely except when I am depositing EXP hell I might just voted on already passed stuff to stop it completely at one point.
The same can be said for believe it of not My whistle. That is right the one unstoppable flagging Princess (No matter what anyone saids ramagi will always be the flagging queen even though I did past her in whistle points) has gone into cruise with that for several reasons.
1 I don't have to time like I used too otherwise I would post regularly like I used to in this thread or in the Rage thread
2 My favorite thread (the Rage thread) has gone to hell I remember when it was a thing of beauty but now it has become nothing more then a 1 post up thread and it is now a shadow of it's former self. (If you don't believe me take a look at the at the posts from 2004-2006 in that thread and compare them to the ones you see now.
3 Thanks to some idiots out there you have to watch out for stupid little spam alts. I mean come on it is not as hard to get a deity whistle or even a gold whistle as it used to be trust me of all people I would know this (as well as the New X-Naut since he got gold last before the system changed) since it took me 7 Months since I started flagging to get a gold whistle and I had to flag thousands of reviews for several days and hundreds others to get this. I never had encounter a spam alt back when I was flagging in 2005-2007 and back then the whistle system was on a sliding scale. But now that it is easier then it was before little pricks want to try and cheat to get whistle rank it is a disgrace.
4) I don't agree with it myself but it is one I wish that wasn't created. there are limits on what you can flag. Now you can only go back as far as 2005 to flag reviews. While I can't do anything about that one since the Admins made this rule, It leave plenty of holes. I mean not everyone is going to find every abusive review made. If it keep going like this evenually certain abuse that would have been normally deleted if it was back in the old days will be immune to flagging due to the resent flagging rule and many people will be discouraged from flagging them due to the constant mod posting of "Don't post/Flag any reviews that are older then 2005.
With this I am saying this. I am retiring from the EGB (and no this isn't an april fools joke like the last time for those of you who do remember.) For reasons stated above. Have fun Protecting the portal from spam (even though due to stat whore and other people who are too lazy to watch the flash crappy flash is getting protected instead of blammed) as well as flagging to keep those whistle shiny
Smooches ^_^
