Ratings Automatically Removed?

[Key Walshe]

Hi, I'm not sure if this has been asked before, I've tried a search for several things related to it as best I can and didn't find anything (excuse my ignorance if I did miss something!).

Anyways, I'm getting distracted so I'll hurry this up.... I've just been looking at my Public Profile (ya know, having to click my name in the 'Who is online Section') and I noticed that I've lost a few friends, and not only that, some of my rated posts says this:

'This rating was automatically removed'

I've checked the people's profile's, and it seems they've either been banned or have got very bad karma with lots of red blobs, which I'm guessing is the reason why *sits here with his Sherlock Holmes hat on!* not that this is something which particularly bothers me but I was just interested to know if that's the case? Also, as said above, the missing 'friends' as it was at around 11 but several have gone, does anyone know the reason to this - system problem, nobody likes me anymore, revision of the friends system or something else?

Thanks for any help, Kieron.

The friends thing was due to it being reset to cancel out people who weren't putting contact details in their profiles - the actual point of the friends thing. There's a post in Feedback explaining it a bit better.

The auto-revoking was due to Illuzion taking it upon himself to rate almost every single post on the entire forum, I believe.

Thanks Bendy

And there was me thinking I was being really helpful to someone, damn it! I'll see if I can find that post though explaining better, and once again, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
