Welcome, new trolls! We're pleased as punch to have you aboard, unfortunately as you may have noticed our moderators are unable to give you the moderations you've been working so hard for. Since we can't really do much about people not moderating more, we're going to be giving out more points so that the ones that do can give you the attention you so desperately crave.
Moderators: Starting a little after midnight UTC tonight, everyone will be getting ten points a day instead of five. The threshold for a mod-bomb, however, is going to remain at five. This change is not so you can pursue an agenda against registered users more effectively but so we can collectively handle the rather large uptick in anonymous trolling recently while still being able to have points remaining for upmodding quality comments. This is not an invitation to go wild downmodding; it's helping you to be able to stick to the "concentrate more on upmodding than downmodding" bit of the guidelines.
Also, this is not a heavily thought-out or permanent change. It is a quick, dirty adjustment that will be reviewed, tweaked, and likely changed before year's end. Questions? Comments?

I never have enough left over for all the +1s I want to give after giving out the -1s to them as richly deserve it. This will be a lot more useful.

And yet your downmods percentage isn't at all bad. I don't remember it exactly but there were only five who needed smacked in the back of the head and you weren't among them.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

There's about 6 people who get the majority of them, all well-deserved, and you are one of them. If you'd just stick to stuff like this and quit trolling the site--horrendously unprofessional!--you'd get fewer of them from me -_-

That's rich, as they say, coming from you. You've motivated me to log in on more than one occasion and "modbomb" your pointless, flaming ad hominem streaks more than once, due to your copious excretion of such posts and not to any diligent searching on my part. Bravo, tho, on keeping it mostly in check recently. Having differing viewpoints around (even if some are demonstrably incorrect) is quite useful.

And top of the morning to you too, ya yellow bastid. Say that without the mask on if you've got balls 1/10th the notional size of my ovaries. Oh wait, you won't and you can't, because you know very well you've got nothing but unearned condescension. Sod off.

Touchy, touchy! With a panicked attack into the dark like that, it's almost as if you're afraid of something. Don't worry. I'll still be around, to compost your insanity and downmod your invective.

Is this seriously how you plan to do it? Step up your game, boy. In the main I get squidloads more upvotes than downvotes, and for good reason.

That's not brag-worthy. So does Ethanol-Fueled.
