  | My PF rating changes but I have no PF forums..... What's that all about then? This morning my PF rating was -6, now it is -7. I removed all my forums from postfusion some days ago. I will be using it again soon, but is it right that this should happen??

 | Yes, because timing of posts is factored into ratings. Posts that you made yesterday are not worth as much as those that are made today...Posts that you made last week are not worth as much as posts you made yesterday. This means that as time goes on, your rating will drop as your most recent posts are no longer...recent Also, your rating is basically an indicator of how far you are separated from the #1 spot. If the owner at #1 posts and you do not, your rating in relation to them will drop.

 | yes, because even if you have no sites in the system you still have a balance. The rating is just an overall view of this balance is based upon your distance from being #1.

| So if I still post on sites that I am registered on under the Postfusion system my rating will increase too? if this is the case is it not a bit of an exploit? (I'd rather tell you then abuse it). I can post and raise myself to the top spot and nobody can post on my forums to raise their score and then when I hit the top spot for PF I simply add a forum and watch the posts roll in. . .

| Yes, you can do that...I don't consider it an exploit at all. Forums drop like a stone when they are at #1. So if you want to hide and then appear at #1, go for it, but I don't even think it would be advantageous for you

| I agree with Ryan. Most people don't post on your site until you're number 1 anyways. So staying hidden doesn't really help.

| Maybe we should run it as a test.
