I have looked a the security logs on this forum and have noticed a few players that Smite other players on a regular basis. I found persons that would exalt many different players and smite the same player day after day. Another player that would smite me every few days and another that had their favorite list of players to smite. As hard as I work, I take a smite rather personal. Not good idea to smite the king.
The thing I noticed in most of these smitings, there was no conceivable reason for it. No bad information, no curt language, no jabs at a player. All I can figure is a personal vendetta. I see so very much good information and help here, I find it hard to see a reason for smiting a players posts. If you are the cause of a helpful player to stop making posts because of your smites, that is very costly to me and staff. Every helpful tip that does not get here, is more work for me. And I appall work. So I see these smites as a hack at me.
From this point on, smiting is the sole realm of staff. I repeat, Smiting is the sole realm of staff. Don't do it. If I see a post worth smiting, I will smite the post hard enough to go poof. If I see players smiting posts intended to help or give good info, the player doing the smiting will be smitten by me. And I smite hard. Very hard. Hard enough that you will not be able to enter new posts until you explain your actions to me. And if I decide to un-smite you.
Exalt these helpful hint. Exalting someone makes me feel better. Give it a try.
I do not like seeing petty squabbles aired or vindicated here. This forum is for players helping other players. Lets please keep it that way.
