Journal Shadow Wrought's Journal: Holy Hell I got Mod Points! 14
The last time I had mod points was during the 2004 presidential campaign. I waded into a politic thread and modded the jabs, left and right, and that actually made me laugh as funny. Haven't seen a mod point since.
Until today. So if anyone sees anything that could use some help, lemme know. I got 5 of 'em.

I'm still in timeout (Score:2)
I reverse mod-bombed someone (modded up 5 consecutive posts) in 2005 and I have been in the mod point timeout corner ever since. My level of give-a-damn about this site is near zero so it doesn't upset me so much.

Yeah, me either.

I don't know what I did, but there was a period of a month or so last year where I was getting 15 mod points every few days ... some days back-to-back. Occasionally, I'd spend 15, figured I've done my duty for the day, only to find that I STILL had 15.
I used them as fairly as I could, kept quiet about it because if it was a bug, who was I to complain after so many "dry" years, and was a bit relieved - but also disappointed - when they finally stopped.
If they had thrown in the ability to check for typos,

But it's like the ability to append to an initial comment within "X" number of minutes to help avoid flame wars - simple enough to implement (and geeklog does it), useful, but they waste time on "oh shiny ..." instead.

BTW, your post is depressing. I'm in the same situation, and as I mentioned below, I had a "conversation" with taco about it. He told me "it might be a week, it might be a year".
Six years? Sheesh.

In the past I understand that he was adamant that there was no such blacklisting. So much for that.
The most humorous part of the whole thing is that I logged in one morning and there was a small box on the front page that allowed me to opt out of seeing all of the advertisements, because I am a "valued contributor" or some such nonsense. So, I can opt out of adverts but I cannot be trusted with mod points. I don't
Your mod points have expired, you have mod points (Score:2)
Odd that I keep getting these dinky batches. I know some time ago (over a year ago) I had 10 points at a time a few times. Not once have I ever had 15 at once - though I

Same thing happened to me. I was up to getting 15 points, and then I think I modded someone up that the mod police didn't like, and I haven't seen them since. I even got into a big argument with taco about it. He said "you're not being punished, you just won't get any more mod points". Huh?
I agree with the above. My level of caring about this site has definitely tanked since then. :^\

I haven't had modpoints since someone said in a thread that if someone questioned the mods taking away mod points from people in another thread, that person's would also be taken away. I didn't believe it, and posted something like, what's this about mod points being taken away? And foop! No more modpoints since then. Must have been in 2003 or 2004, because I started the artifex2004 account later to have some again :)
