No, i would toast him.....
He is obviously the troll that created the groups and with a username like that, he's only here for one reason - evil.

This member[^] when you mouse over the profile pic for his question in the lounge[^] shows a rep of +581 points. I though was was kind of high for him, so I thought I'd check on his profile page: -2210
His rep graph has the usual problem of not loading, so I can't check the numbers.
I can't believe anyone could loose 2800 points in a day! 
(but if anyone could, he would be a candidate...)

I had a look at his rep graph and it also shows +581. But for his debator points the graph says 0, while his profile page says -2,834.

It didn't load for me at all - it just sat there with the "spinny-thing" spinning.

Well, it loads fine for me. Here is a little summary: his "all rep types"-graph had its peak value the day he registered here and from there it pretty much went downhill.
By the way, only the number of points in the legend of the graph is wrong, his graph actually goes down to -2000 and something.

In the pop-up, the negative points are ignored. There is a reason, but that's between Chris and the Hamsters.

Time for an unsigned int to become a signed int, it seems.

Nearly 
The actual issue was we were doing a JOIN on a table that defines the designations for each level. For negative points were were ignoring the designation since we didn't want to make a song and dance about someone having negative points. The issue is we can't ignore these points when calculating the total.

This answer Most powerful encryption in C#[^] contains a looooong link in it, and this is extending outwith the boundary of the answer area even when increasing the window size and remains obscured under the panels at the right.
Think the wrapping needs sorting.

Fixed it in IE7+, Chrome and Firefox 5. I'll have the fix released next upload.
Thanks mate.

I think that in order to delete an answer, the deleter has to have more authority points than the person whose answer they're deleting. Christian and I both have recently had answers deleted for no apparent reason, and if the total rep of the person whose answer is being dleted is higher than the total rep of the deleter, the deleter must be forced to provide a reason for deleting the answer.

I think any deletion should require a reason. That way, at least there is some hope that the 'GIVE ME CODEZ URGENT' brigade might begin to learn what they should do differently, if they read their deletion comments. No-one should be deleting so many posts that entering a reason becomes a burden.

That makes you guys untouchable, and that's not healthy.
Let's say, hypothetically, of course, that one of you has a habit of posting a comment as an answer, rather than as a comment. I would not there to be a situation where no one but a couple of members can remove the non-answer.
If, however, you'd like to argue that there should not be a delete option at all, and that instead we should focus on the reporting system, then that's definitely something I'll discuss.

Damn, you noticed. Let's try again later, guys.

Requiring a deleter to provide a reason for the deletion doesn't make the 'victim' untouchable, it just dissuades random driveby troll-deletes (and makes them easier to identify and undo.

The loans ones are the same style as the previously canned spam. only difference is there are no links. I did notice one of them was created today (never noticed the other ones), so although the links no longer are added, the spammers are still creating accounts.

I'm rather suspicious that Chris has broken the sign-up screen. I've gone through the first five pages and there wasn't a single link á la Pink List. Is this luck or has the spiced pork/ham mix been [temporarily] stopped?
