I am CuriousFollow

I was stripped of my ability to rate people a while back, but had it lifted by a kind admin who believed I would behave. Since that time I have been much more responsible with my rating habits - yet a brief moment ago I attempted to rate someone up, and it acted as if I were, once again, stripped of the ability to rate.

I checked my profile, and I still appear to have scholar status - and have yet to receive any PM telling me I have been no-rated once again. So, I'm wondering if I have been "no-rated" again.

There was a rather heated topic(more like flame war) on the Kujata forums earlier, and admittedly - I did blast the red arrow button much more often than I would normally do. If,for some reason, that was the reason for stripping me of my ability to rate - I humbly apologize, and eagerly await for the day to come where I may be able to rate once more.

I norated you. The first thing you do when you were un norated is go and rate every one of hellboy's new account posts up? Bad decision making on your part.

Did I really? Well, he is a guy I'd consider a close friend - we've played final fantasy XI together for as long as I can remember. I guess I just didn't see it as camping since we were friends before I ever started posting here. I apologize and support your decision to no rate me. I should have remembered the code of conduct for Allakhazam, but instead I based my actions on friendship instead of following the rules.

I got to thinking though, and I'm not trying to question your decision - BUT - the other day I was messing around in my journal, and I hit the nuke button on a thread hellboy made in there - then repeatedly hit the green arrow to see how many times it would take to un-nuke the thread and make it excellent. Could that have made the numbers look more dramatic than they actually were? I mean, ratings in journals don't contribute to overall karam, right?

On the other hand, I would say I rated up 80% of every one of Ben's posts that I actually read - but I wouldn't say I was camping him. I spend between 6 to 9 hours a day browsing and posting on Allakhazam, and typically frequent The FFXI General Forum, FFXI Feedback Forum, The Legendary Unicorn Forum, The Out of Topic Forum, and occasionally the Kujata Forum.

Anyways, it's not like I go around searching for posts made by Lobster Johnson so I can rate him up or anything, I just spend 6-9 hours a day on the forums, reading pretty much every recent topic in every forum I frequent.

Anyways, if within a month or two - or never or whenever - I am able to rate again, are there any recommendations on how to go about it? Like limiting myself to 20 rateups and 20 ratedowns per day?(seems like a lot, but like I said SIX TO NINE HOURS)

Anyways, I don't care so much if this gets read - I just needed closure, because I was not intentionally rate camping Ben, he just happens to post in the forums I typically frequent, and I just happen to read them. I am willing to admit that I typically do not rate his posts based on post quality, but rather - of the quality of the person who is making them.
