Anyone know what the colored boxes under our post counter means? I noticed mine was green before; and now it's red. I think i might have got the ruler across the back of my hand. :)

Thank you Firestas.

Course i'm at a loss as to why we'd vote to further participate in distancing ourselves from accountability; when a forum setting is already mired in its failure as it is?

Good example here:

-these folks could have easily made their comments known on the forum, but they would have had to open themselves up to justifying their feelings, and answer to it. And to that, they'd be seen and heard by name. No need to add another layer of veil to a forum.. least to my thinking. And plainly, a response here wouldn't have been needed, but yet i got Boxed up RED by consequence. Which; i have to admit, doesn't offend me too much. -But my thinking strikes me vaild nonetheless.

Talkin' around things just isn't good company. Better to speak to it respectfully, and move on. Hurt feelings and all. That way everybody that's interested can see what's what, minus anonymous second hand suggestion, good, bad or indifferent. Least to the extent a box is noticed. :)

Actually, what i'm probably getting at, is i wish my Representatives were more accountable.

Chris,
just ignore it. I agree that bad ratings seem unfair because there is no communication - just an opinion, sometimes VERY lame to boot. I guess an anonymous hit fits some members better than a decent argument.
