Be lucky that you haven't gone back under scholar. There has always been an "Elitism" group of posters who specificly scout the boards for low count posters with high karma, they discuss it amongts themselfs and vote on whether to let them keep it or not.
I have seen plenty of decent posters killed from them, to the point they just gave up posting, mind you I have seen them sub-default accounts in a couple hours(these people usualy deserved it).
I really don't watch karma anymore, and seldom post. I use to post almost 2 packs, i mean 10-20 posts a day when playing FFXI than i went on the post patch(either that or the general posting got worse, or simply redundant).
But gratz guys, just stay away from the asylum lol, between the ayslum, oot, and the random religious/racism thread I coulnd't help but jump into lol I lost all chance of hitting sage.
