This is really something you don't want to say to people who come to you looking for help, and I trust when this thing blows over, you will agree.
You're talking to Kao here... so I doubt he'll change his stance. He's stubborn, and at times can be a real a$$. That being said, he generally does a good job taking care of the riff raff, and he usually doesn't pull punches. As an example, I once rated several people in a way that Kao didn't feel was justified (not quite the same thing that's happening with you, trust me). He then announced to a whole forum that I was to blame and declared "open season" on me... needless to say, my default score took a significant hit for a few days.

There was a karma camper who was using "secret" forums to rate themselves up in that first thread you posted, they have since aquired a new karma camper... ME! I figure 3 or 4 hundred 1.00's should get their attention no?
I can guarantee that Kao means that. I have heard that Dana has a script that can hand out
several awfuls in one fell swoop. They have the tools, they do use them when they feel it's time.
In regards to your request to have the ability to see who rates you... you must understand that having that ability would only cause more harm then good. People would become afraid to hand out bad ratings for fear of retaliation. Posts get rated down (or up) for all kinds of reasons, but if someone could identify everyone that's given them a bad rating, the flame fests would turn into ratedown fests. Pretty soon, we'd have 20 forums of people all sitting at a 3.0 score (or worse).
