Man, this is WAY too funny! I actually got a message from someone saying that this thread got cut and pasted on another website (didn't tell me which one, but I have a suspicion....) as an example of the types of people that are allowed to participate in this certification program. Obviously the name I used for this "tester99" and the slapstick choices of answers to the prompts for ID were way too subtle for them.

Anyway, for those guys using this as an example, please, you are just KILLING me with your antics. And you expect to be taken seriously? Come on! You can't really think anyone would believe you now do you? Or heck, maybe you do have a following of believers. I actually find that even FUNNIER!! :rofl:

Anyway, just so those poor deluded people will understand what this is, my programmer is working on the code to check the stats in each of these threads and automatically set any thread where the stats show a negative number to being highlighted in red. This will save me from having to view each and every one of them manually in order to check on them periodically. And now I want you to think REALLY hard now: Just how would the programmer test this code without having an example of a negative rating to work with? Duh......

Sorry, I do know if is not polite to laugh at people like this, but I just find this all really darn hilarious, and I REALLY needed a good laugh today!

Someone thinks Dead Snakes Anonymous is a real company?

LMAO

Even I knew what you were doing when I saw it, and I'm really not that bright :p

As a FYI, my programmer has implemented the code I had requested to automate the auditing of the member ratings in the Certification threads. I will leave that test thread up until I get to the #0099 mark for the next applicant so you all can see what I was talking about doing. Plus I think maybe the "termites" nibbling at the foundation of this site may be better able to figure out what it is for this way. :rolleyes:

BTW, I am going to be going through and auditing those certifications pretty shortly, since the 30 day deadline is coming up to get the certificate banner on the participants websites. I sure would hate to have to disqualify anyone for not complying with this requirement. But this is what it is FOR. The more people showing this certificate, the quicker it will be recognized by the general public for what it stands for. So please, do YOUR part in this.
