WTF?
As a matter of principle, I find it a childish idea, but it might serve a purpose..Webmaster, could you enlighten me? Is it a standard thingy that comes with the UI or there is a reason for it?

Because it's a novelty trinket, I played with my "friends" names for a bit - doen wan any "foes", thank U - but many names, although correct, cannot be entered because their account is "deactivated" or so? So I guess that several of those I consider friends won't see them in da list? Gong forbid.
I played a bit, but I am going to cancel da list because it reminds me of elementary school, when the nun had to go pee or phone or something else, left the head of class in front of the blackboard to survey the others - there was a line in the middle of the blackboard that separated the GOOD from the BAD, and when the nun came back, those in the BAD list were punished...

Yuck.

Yeah, I saw it when the board first flipped, but I haven't played with it to see what it actually does. I ignore it, T: it's just a feature that came with the software.

That some of the emoticons don't work, however, makes things difficult to read at times. I've noticed it on other sites as well, which is odd -- as if there's some global smilie shortage. I thought it was just my machine, but I've seen others complain as well. Very confusing.

Absolutely - the icons are a Royal Pain.

I thought it might be something that came with the UI template, because it's really a no-no. I despise those boards where you got points and "reputations" - it's a nightmare and can lead to very nasty situations.

Thanks for clarifying!
