SFN does have a daily digest email, which I think is a summary of the day’s activities (though I believe only the things that you have participated in). We used to have a more comprehensive one a few upgrades ago, which I guess got eaten up at some point.

We've had discussions about this before. I'm of the opinion that members having that information could lead to issues, particularly with those prone to taking things personally. If you feel like someone is using the rep system to target you, please let staff know and we will investigate. As for your particular situation, I don't really see too much of a case for an abuse of the system at the moment. You received a couple of -'ve rep points today, which I reversed, and a few the other day that another member countered. Otherwise, it's been fairly sporadic.

Tony2018 has been banned as a sock puppet of YuanshenHao

This has been upgraded to a ban. _______________________________________ Also banned is waitforufo. Phi for All had a much better farewell message than I could come up with, so I will leave that here. There’s only so much of the bald face lying we are prepared tolerate for the sake of not being accused of censorship. We are well passed that point now, and so staff decided it was time for a permanent ban. _______________________________________ forex has now been banned as well, for constantly reopening closed topics.

trevorjohnson32 has been suspended for two weeks for his tendancy towards being provocative and troll-like rather than engaging in actual discussion.

seriously disabled has been suspended for one week for ignoring continued requests not to hijack threads.

Conway has been banned following yet another thread that devolved into abuse when his ideas came into question.

Adding another one to this list, Dubbelosix has been banned as the latest of so many Graviphoton sock puppets.

Randolphin has been suspended until Christmas Day for incessant preaching.

reerer has been suspended for 7 days for refusing moderator requests to post evidence in support of their claims, rather than simply making up stories.

! Moderator Note As I said to Raider, if you are seeing this, then please report it. Staff have very limited time to review everything that gets posted. Hate speech and slurs are not okay and will not be tolerated, regardless of the target. I personally do not read many threads these days, and I generally avoid political or religious threads. I do read all reports, however (as do all staff). If things are being posted there against the rules, I am almost definitely missing them unless they get reported. If you wish to continue this discussion, feel free to PM me.

! Moderator Note We have a report feature for this. You are welcome to use it. Please do not respond to this note within the thread.

! Moderator Note A few things. Firstly, your use of language - specifically your use of the word retarded - needs to change. Secondly, the rules of this forum specifically prohibit members from slurring an entire group of people as you have done. If you can't contribute anything intelligent (or additive at the very least) to the discussion, I would ask that you don't bother contributing.

! Moderator Note I would suggest opening a new thread if you wish to discuss further.

funushimaehmm1z has been banned because frankly, we don't have time for his rubbish / abuse.

Another PSA. We are aware that there is a lot of spam hitting the forum, often around this time. Unless the spam has been around for a day or more, please do not report it. Chances are we will see it before we see your report anyway. As stated above, clearing away multiple reports is about as much of a hassle as removing the spam accounts.

! Moderator Note You are welcome to start your own thread on this, but dragging this thread down specific rabbit holes - which is against the spirit of the OP - needs to stop.

CamSpdr has been banned as a sockpuppet of sunandmoon

Code42 has been banned as a sock puppet of Tampitump. ------------------------------------ The Helper, weetBIX, and LemurLady18, have all been banned as sock puppets of Mr Nobody. Edit: after discussion, these bans were lifted.

! Moderator Note We usually merge "hello" type threads into this one without really saying anything about it, so it's possible you just missed that when I happened.

Heterogenic has been permanently banned as the result of several wildly inaccurate threads painting homosexuality as bad / wrong / against nature, despite warnings not to do so.

And again, but this time for one week.

RiceAWay had been banned for being unable to participate in honest discussion, or any discussion without it being completely off topic.

farolero has now been banned for his far too frequent use of sock puppetry to circumvent the mod queue.

Tampitump has been suspended for one year for abusive behaviour.
