Guest Guest 7thMarine Posted September 23, 2011 at 08:30 AM Guest Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 at 08:30 AM I recently received this PM. While the true consequences of this message are nil; the meaning is not lost on myself and many more.I may understand your reasoning, However; I do not condone the act.Why would you penalize a member for not logging in? You've even gone so far as mentioning Holidays as an excuse. In my opinion, you may want to reconsider such penalties being that one may not visit due to the lack of content or for many other reasons.To those concerned, Be Advised: I am a Member of a brotherhood of Marines. "Once a Marine , Always a Marine" is our principle operating statement. I will stay with a group that act along those lines.Semper Fidelis, 7thMarineaka.USMCG_7thMarine (Drafter)Member; Board of Directorshttp://usmc-gamers.org501-3c Non-Profit Vet Org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= CCCode Posted September 23, 2011 at 09:28 AM Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 at 09:28 AM The rank system on this site doesn't give you any bonuses or anything. Does it really matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest 7thMarine Posted September 23, 2011 at 09:34 AM Guest Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 at 09:34 AM Then why send a PM mentioning it? There has to be a better way to motivate someone. No?Please understand, I like this site, I have a great respect for all the members. I just don't believe it is a positive action to degrade one because they haven't logged in over a week period.In short, I don't think it's cool.I also noticed, before you posted ccc I had stars across the board, now just one. I see how it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dman248 Posted September 23, 2011 at 02:07 PM Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 at 02:07 PM The site system is pretty fair, if you dont log in once a week you lose 5 points, but when you come back you will earn 10-15 points each time until you are back to where you started with. All and all, it really doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= SemlerPDX Posted September 23, 2011 at 02:37 PM Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 at 02:37 PM It's not as personally directed at you as you may think. It's a simple forum activity logger, set to military rank systems for a fun theme. The PM was auto-generated by the system, so no one took time to directly send you what seems like a disrespectful PM.It's nothing to get twisted about; I at this time "outrank" a founding member of VG, and a few that have been here much longer than myself. It doesn't mean I "outrank" them in any sense here, nor does it mean my voice or opinion is greater than theirs.All forums have some system like this, and in no way does it change our opinion of you seeing less stars than before or a lower rank. Like dman said, it'll come back faster than before if you become active again on the website.When a LOA is anticipated, you have the option to contact BLuDKLoT and ask him to suspend the penalty system if it is something you enjoy working at.Thank you for serving our country; you are amongst friends and supporters here.s/f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
