OK so, Now I am getting the system: Flame A person for being a newbie, Collect as many up points as you can by doing so then, follow that newbie around and down vote everything they post? Do I have that straight? I just want to be sure.


Careful... You are bordering on being inflammatory with your sarcastic questions. Having read all of your posts/replies, you are close to what people would call a troll.

From wikipedia - In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

As I am sure this is not the intention you have, please be a bit more careful. We are all friends here. No need for sarcastic questions or inflammatory messages.
