I had 10 karma when you came back, and it has been decreasing since then. And I am not honestly convinced, though I do hope my apology makes you happy. Though, realize that I gave you 35 karma for the wrong reasons then...

And... I see no valid complaint beyond him not liking how things were named. When I said that, I was specifically pointing to more relevant complaints such as: I think I should be higher because I write real good/comment a lot/whatever. So my complaint about the ranks themselves weren't relevent?

When I said that, I was specifically pointing to more relevant complaints such as: I think I should be higher because I write real good/comment a lot/whatever. So my complaint about the ranks themselves weren't relevent? Not in my eyes. They were about how you didn't like what you were being called, at least that is all I saw. And then it moved on to Veteran beign a bad rank name. There's a time and a place, and though no system is perfect, there are worse things than being called beginner when you think that name has a negative connotation. Like I said before, we were thinking through other names for ranks, and we still are. Our priorities, however, are getting the working kinks out of this system (i.e. people thinking they should be higher because they feel they fit the requirements more than we did).

I'm not going to take it away though.

Doesn't appear as though anyone really has a problem with their current rank. It's not like you're overloaded with fixing people's ranks anyway. So I brought that up.

And one more thing, I didn't "come back". I've been here, lurking, posting in the General Chatroom every once and a while. Bloodmoon stirred me up enough to make me read some stories, but why would reading suddenly fill me with the need to smite you?

So far we have yet to view a valid complaint.
Yes we are not master writers, but between the three of us we figure that we will make much less mistakes in judging your writing level then you will.
About the names of the ranks. Beginner could mean that you just started writing, and I know that when I started writing (Outside of school) it just plain sucked. I still wonder if I was using english actually... It means that fyour writing and commenting skills just aren't that good.
Veteran means that you have expierience with writing, and expierience usually translates into skill. Uesugi had suggested something else, but it was shot down...
Names might be changed at a later date.
It is hard to do anything when we must spend our time answering complaints, and the fact that we are spread across the timezones does not help the fact at all.
The reason most people were reset is because almost no one writes. Once you start writing you can complain about your rank.
And we are coming with bigger things, its hard because we have to keep answering complaints, and also because we do in fact have lives outside of internet...ok well that might be a lie....but we do have other things to do as well.

I kept pushing becuase you didn't. I just read back all the way. Not once did you say you were working on them.

I suppose I agree with that. We were thinking of renaming them at some point or another. You know, giving them more a writing connotation. However, we quickly disagreed on a few things, as I recall, and left it at that. Though it is stated poorly, we were thinking of it and it is an issue we are going to address. We let it drop at the time, though, because otherwise nothing ever would have gotten done.

So basically raist its just a system controled by three teens who think they are better than every one else. And is slowly turning into a dictatorship. But who really cares what they think. At least those two any way.

I'm going to bed. See you all tomorrow. Before you go, I apologize. Perhaps my thoughts were a bit harsh... And I do see a bit of where you're coming from. It was all just a misunderstanding on my part, it seems, or perhaps more.
