PublicationsThe Cap 'n is right Dr. Poo... there is certainly the "look and feel" of something going on, but there is no indisputable evidence that I've seen that would support this as "100% fact".

Umm, guys, what Rooney did was fairly simple. The only thing I did not have is his starting points, but there is no reason to suggest he'd be exaggerating them.
From that starting point(s), he went over all of his posts for a week, checking the pluses and minuses on each post -- that's fairly simple to do, actually. And over that time period he was either a +1 or a -1. However his reputation dropped 13-14 points. If the rep points were not taken away from the posts he did over that time period, then they must have been taken away from older posts. That much is 100%.
And, honestly, it's a little difficult to believe that he could lose 14 points from someone catching up reading old stuff. So, maybe not 100%, but I believe the evidence does indicate something not-quite-kosher going on. And, really, is that so difficult to believe? Like Neely, Rooney is making some enemies here but they are not content with just putting him on their foes list. It's immature, to be sure, but very believable that someone could go on a personal crusade to bring his points down, even if they have to wait 25 minutes between minuses and hunt down old posts to do so.
Now, picking up a second account just to do it faster? Maybe a bit less believable, but still possible.

Yes, it does indicate something is going on... that is true. Problem is, unless someone comes forth and owns up to the activities, or logs can be obtained to prove Rooney's suggestion, we're left making educated guesses.
At any rate, the important thing is that the owners/mods are attempting to address this issue and ensure it's kept at bay.

i think th bryaAn Murray sholud trade for Erik Cole erik Cole is exactly the kind of player the Sens need and Murray should get him in a trade becuase the Sens need a power forward like erik cole.

See what you get when there is no fear of de-repping?

Erik Daze would be a better fit for the Sens though. I'd give him a nice 3x3 deal.

NO. But here are some Habs facts:
