@ImperatorFishrat

Correct answer to the original question! I know this might seem like a very basic question that I should know by now but... does the "post score" mean anything? As far as I understand it's basically the more upvotes and the less downvotes you get, the better it is but does it count towards anything? At the moment my post score is 212. I don't know if that's a good score or bad score and I don't care either, as to me it seems like another little statistic. I was just wondering if it was anything more than that?

Post score is just a reflection of your upvote/downvote ratio based on total posts made. The way Greg has done it sucks and it's one of the few Beefs I have about the site. Upshot is I can basically piss everyone off virtually indefinitely and my post score won't budge practically at all regardless of how many downdoots I get and similarly how many updoots. 

TL;DR post score doesn't have much meaning.

It's true, post score doesn't mean that much.  Except maybe if you see a REALLY bad post score, which is an indication that you can ignore or dismiss what the person is saying.

@greg so what did chow finally say to get suspended again.

You seemed to let him getaway with a lot. I agree with leeway for genuine users but punk ass ***** talk accounts like that you should drop the hammer harder and more often.

Yo fish. Did you catch the joke erison made about you in the last ufc event thread. It was funny.

Or did you catch that ****** chow's latest rant. He wants me to battle him on YouTube. I think it's a dance off. Those were the highlights of that thread.

For context...

Here's Erison's joke again! @freemoneyforall's comment is at the bottom of page 36 and @Erison's is at the top of page 37.






There are too many to post here but @Chow's reign of terror starts on page 30 with this:

"I wish you good luck but I don't want you to rely on luck"

@freemoney the thing about Chow is that he seems to flip back and forth between just talking normally about the fights, and then then going nuts and cursing everyone out.  When he just talks about the fights, it shines through that he's a big fan.

So partially for that reason, I have tried a couple times to see if maybe he'll chill out just enough that he could actually be a reasonable person to have hanging around the forums.  But there's only so much mayhem he can cause before we need to suspend him again.

Also, generically saying "**** YOU GREG, BAN ME!"  ... is actually not that offensive and doesn't bother me that much.  I'm much more concerned about, and will send stronger warnings and suspensions, for people making attacks solely based on gender, religion, race, etc.
