    Ooh that'll be good for personal attacks etc, I know you guys had no idea if someone edited out an attack.

    • +2

      Or my billion grammar errors because I always submit before proof reading!

      Surprised they didn't have it before.

      • +1

        Or my billion grammar errors because I always submit before proof reading!

        So ya finally admitted it, we are so sick of seeing your grammar errors! :P

        Edit: fixed my grammer error, changed good to grammer.

        Just teasing clear 😂

        • +1

          I'll just edit in secret messages to the mods.

    • +1

      Why you negged

      • +3

        Someone has gone along to my most recent comments, and used up their daily neg quota.

        It's kinda funny actually!

        Like this comment, has nothing offensive yet they felt the need to.

        • +4

          Have some up votes.

        • Perhaps neg voters should also be visible

          • +1

            @Godric: Had this before, it just ended up in people bickering and following each other to neg their comments.

            • +3

              @Wystri Warrick: Yeah, I get this all the time… let some users in on a few little home truths, they get butt hurt and then I get random negged for the next two weeks on the most benign comments.

              Errrmahgerd, mar ferk internert peernts!

        • +1

          Another reason why the negative voting feature is silly.

    • I see you've nearly reached the big double 2 in the number of your comments.

      • +1

        Yep, closing in on scrimshaw :D

        • Don't think anyone is gonna be overtaking jv anytime soon…

  • funny. Nintendo Switch is literally the only alert I have set/

  • +1

    I was waiting to see whether I'd be number one 😏

    • +2

      You really caused a kerfuffle

  • jv avg -0.03

    haha…is a negative average a first?

    • +2

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/270770 Easternculture negative

      Heaps of months where JV has close to 0 average with a gazillion posts.(AKA Spam) Couldn't find a negative looking back at last few years.

  • 9th on the top 10 commenters with a vote average of 3.10… get on my level, SCRUBS!!!! :D

    • Maybe you need to teach the JV a thing or two.

    • Those are rookie numbers, gotta pump those up!

      • Quality over quantity… :P

        • +2

          That one wasn't 😉

  • HighAndDry was at the top of the leaderboard and then he got sent to the penalty box 😲 Hmmm…conspiracy theories any one?

    /jk

    • +2

      They had to do it to slow him down. They boxed @High just so he would take time to breathe… :D

      • +1

        Gotta try and keep jv at the top !!!
