Goodbye HF - And beware - Clapson Mcgee - Mar 13, 2017
I'll start by specifically stating that this thread is a warning to anyone who wishes to inquire staff about something that's already been established in the Help Docs, regardless of the circumstances.
So I had not been on here in some time and I took a gander at my reputation and had seen that the majority of my reputation was assigned by closed accounts. A quick look at the help documents states that reputation from banned accounts will not be removed unless it violates reputation rules. And rules about contacting admins says this:
"What happens if I contact an Admin or Staff and my question is answered in the Help Docs?
You're probably going to get a negative reputation and your PM ignored. You might even get a warning too. "
However since the reputation from closed accounts on my profile was so overwhelming, I felt inclined to ask. I feel that its important to state that I had more positive reputation from closed accounts than negative, so I did not intend to gain something from this. I decided to ask anyways.

Now many of you will say I should have expected that response, but since asking about something that was already clarified in the Help Docs isn't technically against to rules I really thought I was asking an honest question because it was so severe in my case.
Take what you will from this, I understand this was my wrongdoing, but such severe retaliation from staff is imho unnecessary, and rather rude, as this shows the staff is so anal about their time being wasted that they are more willing to spend more time undoing someones account then replying with a simple "No" or not responding at all. I honestly have no intentions of slaving around to get my rep positive again just so I can post in the marketplace. You've been warned, farewell.

Omniscient doesn't have time for things like this honestly.
This could have been avoided by doing simple searches, and reading the Help Documents.
Reputations won't be removed unless they are invalid, and there is a way to report them.
Help Documents - Reputation System will give you more information.

That was kind of retarded to do, you really SHOULD have expected this response, no reason to inquire about something already placed in the Help Docs, PLUS they warned you not to contact staff about reputation, or you may get this kind of response. You're a fucking moron OP, they told you what not to do, and the consequences if you did them, and you did it anyway. Leave the forum if you don't like the way it's run, follow the rules next time.

So if I understand this correctly..
You PM'd the admin of the site rather than asking a question on the forums first. It says in the Help Docs over and over not to ask about rep or PM staff regarding it. You got a few bad reps, so what. If you want to leave HF, then by all means go ahead, but you can always gain reputation back by being a helpful member..
Whining does you no good. Especially when you were being ignored for a reason and continued to push on in hopes that you could get a few bad reps removed.
Either goodbye or see you around.
Edit: It looks like you got those inactive reps removed, but also lost your positive ones. Lesson learned, don't complain about the small stuff and move on man.

Quote:How do I report abuse or get the invalid rep removed?
You can PM the admin Omniscient. Be warned. If you did not read fully this page and the rep left on your account was indeed within policy then you will get RepKilled without any hesitation.
Yes, OP goes bye bye.
