Shut up, you ignorant bitch. The only blackout is when you are asphyxiated from sucking your mother's penis too long.

This proves something. by Moneky-Boy · 2002-04-22 05:35 · Score: 0, Offtopic

Well besides that only "known" users get the credit.
It also proves how dumb the companies are and how affraid they are of customer action.
America is the only country where customers truely run the buisness, where the popular control the merchandise!

Add to the "How to defeat the moderation system" the use of "underrated" on trolls, for they are not metamoderated, so you don't get your moderation revoked :-)

When is one given moderator points? A... ummm... friend of mine has 40 kharma and has yet to be given a single moderator point. What does it take to get some recognition for long weeks of kharma whoring?

The biggest problem is the end user just doesn't care about E-mail security.
I don't think it is that they don't care. They just don't realize how insecure a form of communication this is. The public really needs to be educated in this regard.
