Because i wanted to discuss the whole behaviour and not just the neg repping.

Instead of making this into Yet Another Pointless Rant thread, why not remind everyone to follow those guidelines? A reminder is more likely to reach people than a rant.
The guidelines are there as a sticky...does it realy need more reminding than that?

Did anyone PM the member with the Forum Rules and gave him a pat on the back, telling not to worry about what others said? Did anyone try and explain why people gave him such comments?
Yes i did pm that member, told him i understand his confusion as to where a thread should go etc and not to take notice of the negs given. I also asked him to delete his threads that were still unanswered at that point (back then just one got an answer). Those threads were gone later on, i can't see wether he did that himself or if a mod/admin did.

Did anyone PM WDZ about the comments that broke the Guidelines, so that he removed the ones he thought were inappropriate?
Simply removing reps isn't gonna teach people how to correctly use the repping system. I'm sorry i didn't screenie the reps that were there when i made this thread now..
Guess i'm too nice giving people a second chance on reps they gave...

I'm tired of people who take the easy path and complain about the forum members, instead of doing things themselves. If you care so much, take the time to talk to new members!
I did not take the easy path at all...i did pm the new member too. I even took time to try and educate people, tryin to make them see why what they done is wrong. I took the risk of people hating me for "slapping them on the wrist".
