Seriously - ovi256 is now down to -15 in karma, and (as far as I remember in regard to the modding system) can't even comment anymore. Just because he thinks it's unethical to own a pawnshop. His other comments are fine. Would you PLEASE vote the poor guy up a bit.

I don't mind burning karma doing this, I've got plenty to spare. This is just wrong.

Don't feel too bad about it. If ovi256 really can't comment, ovi257 can pick up the usury/pawnshop debate where he left off.

that's a yc urban legend actually, an editor needs to kill your account for it to be killed. It just so happens that by the time someone reaches negative karma an editor has usually killed their account.

OK thanks for clearing it up. I just hope that ovi256 doesn't get his account killed because of this.

He should be ok, the editors are relatively benevolent.

The history of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usury is actually pretty neat.

I agree, but I'm not at all surprised.
