So I lost my reddit account as well as received 3 death threats over the past couple days for my reddit post trying to help newbies, man its been a rough week so far.
Seriously? That's just rude... When is being helpful on the Internet a bad thing? too many people are asshats on the internet to begin with.

I did a few of those 5s and got this in my email box the next day right in the middle of a batch:

I'd done only one or two of the qual hits before figuring out what they were and then I stopped doing them. I can still work on batches but it scared me enough to pretty much skip the one yesterday. I do think this is related to those qual hits since it's too much of a coincidence that I'd get an email from them the very next day. I've never gotten an email from them before. Them mentioning the 70-90 makes me think it's qual related.

You email her back and tell her your accuracy is none of their damn business.

I think it was a bulk email to everyone who ever had the qual.

My qual was downgraded to 80 from 90 over 3 years ago and I still got this same email the other day.

I replied rather snarkily and told them since they refuse to ever let people re-take the qual test to raise their qual level again that I would appreciate it if they remove me from their email list since it is completely irrelevant to me.

Good morning, weirdos!

I’m off to meet Vanyanka @Vanyanka tonight and TinaBanina @TinaBanina and scrmcasey @scrmcasey tomorrow!

I’m just posting this in case you don’t hear from me again. Then you will know I’ve been murdered and who the prime suspects are.

Are we allowed to start accusing them now or do we have to actually wait til you disappear?
