I've sent her the exact same PM that I sent to 'tessiemarie', and will let you all know if she responds to it
(I don't send rep. points very often - I hold you all as highly reputable! ..........so it wasn't me!)

well moto ... tessiemarie's "answer" to your PM was the attempt to give out red points herself... (but as she is in the negative, her rep points are only neutral, so no harm done). So I doubt she understood or is willing to change her attitude. And moreover, from what I can see she kept on spreading those meaningless posts. It's a pity.

Thank You, It does appear to be very suspicious. You are such a Sweetheart. jagoda rep points have tripled and I do not know who is giving them. I know it is not me.

There may be no change in her attitude and rep power is in the negative and may be no harm done there, However as soon as tessiemarie no1 stopped posting then jagoda started posting to me it appears suspicious and her rep power is 319. Her rep power had about tripled since the previous night. I do wonder who gave her all those rep points and now she can use them to give us neg rep points.

Any feedback on this issue???

tessiemarie hasn't posted since her PM to me, and jagoda hasn't posted since my PM to her, although she hasn't responded either. (Being Polish could be a handicap with the language) - she was still viewing threads after that.
I still have my fingers crossed that the 'penny has dropped'!
If jagoda does carry on with no change, I say hit her into the red, but until then I'm inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Language barrier is a hadicap, however there is the translation tools avaible. We have been able to understand those that speak other languages pretty well. I agree that if jaroda continues hit her with the red, however I do hope it does not come down to that. I really do not like giving negative rep points other than to spammers otherwise it is all positive rep points I give.

Awhile back we had a case of people in the forum who received rep points at an alarming rate and I personally suspected that they were one in the same and giving points to themselves (and/or alter ego's). Could this be the case again?

Another point is that these two individuals seem to comment on many other posts but NOT this one which has been very prominant in the forum for the past several days.

I don't like trolling for new posts either because there were a few that I was following and now have to go back to my statistics to 'pick up the threads'. At first I was glad to see a couple of old posts reappear as they do on occassion but ^^&*$*())_ this is nuts!!

Motoandnutty I am proud of how diplomatic you are trying to be with the PM; hopefully the message will sink in!!

Well tessiemarie no1 is in the neg rep point stage, however where is jaroda getting all of these rep points at an alarming rate?? It sure is nuts. Now to have to go through all these pages on posts that we where following is obsurde.

Here is another 'wonder/thought'. I know that when I first saw an old post of mine in which I shared my free motion work I was flattered to see in back again and gave rep points (I don't believe that they had any at that point) and now am wondering if others did the same thing! But it would have to be some of us with a lot of points to really make their points jump so high so quickly. Just a thought!

I had no problem finding a new post gave neg rep points for generic posting. She now down to rep power 78 from I believe 311 rep power.
