The Dragoon forums have been getting a rash of bombings lately, Sages and Scholars throughout entire threads will end up with Karma nearing 2.0.
Some threads like...

Could be controversial, however how often is it that you see both sides of the fence being rated completely down?
Some threads ask for advice...

Usually the OP is either left alone, or rated up slightly, then the person who provides the answer is usually rated up slightly. In this thread for example, EVERYONE was rated down. Talking about Artifact Armor just isn't that controversial....
This post (new poster) praises the job, this type of post usually gets a small rate up (congratulations I suppose). Again, the OP, and everyone who posted on the same day (Scholars), were rated down.

The next post was a praise to the DRG community.

Everyone again, rated down, I'm sure the only reason why the OP has a high rating is that everyone and thier brother rated the post up.
People posting in gil selling threads (usually rated well down from our "Unofficial Forums Contract") Have a higher average Karma than the posts for the threads which I provided.
It's not looking right to me, I can't believe that so many threads, and so many posters (who are usually rated well for thier words and efforts), are being brought down.
Thanks for looking.
