Thank you very much, Andiyar. I would like to say a little something here...
If you folks will take notice, one of Andiyar's posts is directly next to (below) the post which ellrx was inadvertantly slapped for. There used to be a slight hole in the UBB code which allowed you to change the reply number in the URL for karma modifications and, as such, raise and/or lower a moderator's karma. In e-mail only of course, it was rather amusing when we first found this out.
I attempted to do as such with Andiyar, only the hole has since been filled in. This is why I pointed out in the message area that it was for Andiyar and I included my e-mail, which I've never done in any other karma modification I've only ever done once before. Had ellrx just e-mailed me I would've been more than happy to explain this and restore his karma.
But no.
He instead takes the oddball, and EXTREMELY looked down upon, option of going back to the forums with his complaints instead of e-mailing the moderator in question. I didn't even know what had happened until this afternoon at which point I was informed via that topic on the ASW Banter forum. I shall now include the text of two e-mails I sent ellrx earlier today, and have still not heard a reply on:

"Bloody hell, there's a REASON I included my e-mail. I was trying to give Andiyar a karmaslap but it appears that the hole which allowed that has since been plugged.
If you want your karma point back then just tell me, but otherwise you should've bloody well E-MAILED me about it and kept it off the forums. I don't vist the Coldstone forums and didn't find out about your post until a few minutes ago...then I had to find the blasted post....oi.
E-mail first, trash people on forums WHICH THEY DON'T VISIT later."
Needless to say, I was slightly frustrated that I'd just found out about it and wasn't my cool, composed self. 
Then I decided to go back and read the rest of his initial posting and the rest of the topic...uh-oh. I then sent this e-mail:

After seeing your reaction to how somebody suggested that you e-mail me instead of pulling that crap I'll be damned if I'm going to give you that point back. Especially after how you reacted to dampeoples and Madman.
This was a matter which should've been handled via e-mail and it wouldn't have taken but a second of time. Instead ellrx decided to turn a harmless and easily reversible prank amongst moderators into a bitchfest against somebody who, rather obviously, visits this forum with the frequency of glacial incursions into Brazil.
ellrx ignored the sage advice of dampeoples in that he e-mail me, which is why I put my e-mail in the message of course. He kept bitching and moaning instead of actually doing something about it. This was never brought to my attention. If it had been it would've been quickly corrected without question.
Finally: Given his reaction to the whole thing, he deserves to have the karma point removed for general stupidity and taking matters as such to the forums when a viable and preferred option is so readily available.
