Yeah, I know what you're talking about. Except that I know both sides of the story, and that the "single small post" generated about a half dozen complaints. I remember being in Las Vegas, sitting in a parking lot between client appointments seeing all the shit that had gone down.
Thing is, if you keep your nose clean and ask nicely, points can disappear. Or you can just complain about it publicly and absolutely confirm that no staffer is ever going to want to help you.
Thing is, other staffers don't like it when another one assigns points to a long-time member without at least asking for input. And we discuss everything, sometimes too long.
While I'm in "blunt" mode, post or don't post however you want. Just be prepared to defend yourself if you cross the lines that demarkate good behavior - if your parents/guardians/3rd grade teacher did a good job, you know where that is. Sometimes it's best to hold back. Sometimes it's best not to. Sometimes it's best just to relax and have fun.
