Points Police

Good morning all.

This user :-

http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/UserProfile/1,,BR709118!1,00.html

I do not know how other members feel but I for one do not like nor condone this.

Either this user owns up to who he/she is or Dan should delete the users and their posts.

Your views please

Hi Paula,

It is a bit off.
I can't believe someone has the time to do that, and I don't think it is very helpful to the forum.

regards,

Hilary

I've drawn Dan's attention to this .... hopefully he will follow this up discretely when he gets in today.

Hi,

Looks to me this is really unacceptable behaviour !
Haven't we said enough about points.
Looks to me like this person has nothing else to do !
Either this user shouls be removed, or we all should ignore his/her's post/answers.

Whilst I support the encouragement to award points and the etiquette od the forums, perhaps this user should at the very least have the name description changed. It is a turn-off. At my company we have e-mail police and internet police..... enough already.....

Hi, Paula

Looks like a daemon in the Forum.

Although we should encourage people to assign points, I find that there are also too many people assigning points for no reason whatsoever in some threads. That being said, there is no excuse for the person who has responded in this manner.

We will be taking action, as Alex said, and Dan will make sure this person understands the error of his/her ways.

Sigh.......

Hi,

We better recall this forum etiquette thing from Patrick once again !

If everyone would follow this in the best possible way, there would be no "problem"/thread like this.

I think that's quite funny actually!

Although, it really lacks the hp logo to make it official..

Hi, I'm sure there is another way for solving this. There are a lot of responses without points assigned. But the forums' users should assign points to there questions. Anyway, the "Points wathcher" doesn't have to chase runaway unaswered threads.....

I'm with Bill - I find it amusing. Must be the little bit of Irish in me.

I have several theories about who it might really be but I think I should probably keep my mouth shut for once - I'm sure I'd offend someone.

I think it's all been deleted because when I access the profile there is nothing there.

I can still see it from here in the U.S., Chuck.

I thought you needed an actual contract to set up an account, but I guess I'm wrong? And Shannon, no, it wasn't me :-)) I find that to be a bit extreme. If it was me, I'd have to call it weight watcher, being 20lb's over.

At least they have 100% in point assignments?

No, Harry, you don't need a contract. In fact, my wife signed up not too long ago and I'm pretty sure she doesn't have a contract.

Hi everybody,

I agree with Pete and Bill. I think it is funny. I notice that the "Point Watcher" user has only posted replies to three questions, all in the Management Software forum. Probably just another user getting tired of not getting assigned points every time.

I wish I could give my points away. Then I could be the "Points Pumpkin" and go make other users happy. :)

Paula, sorry about using your post as a "chat room".

Pete, did she sign up to watch you to make sure you aren't flirting ?? Bad Pete!! Go sit in the corner!!

Paula,

My apologies as well.

John (the Points Pumpkin),

Now that's funny!!

Harry,

No (at least I don't think so). She's pursuing her Master's degree in Internet Engineering and thought she might be able to utilize the forums as a resource. Little did she know that all we do out here is chat.
