(Message I received from Natalia) ..........          we're working on giving you a more accurate way to measure true status. and, to be honest, my numbers went down too! if you'd like to know how close you are at any time, let me know and i'll look it up.

(My reply to Natalia).......      I appreciate your quick response,Natalia. But I see a lot of people on here who were within 15 or 20 points of earning their True badges that are pretty hurt and upset by these changes. You should not be taking points away from members that were rightfully earned under the criteria established at the time they were earned. If you are going to apply these new standards to not yet True members accounts retroactively, you also need to apply them to True members accounts and remove their badges if they would not have earned them under your new guidelines for measuring status, whatever those may be.
I myself was at 86% and now you show me at 62%, thats a big cut. What do we not yet True members have to look forward to now? Should I keep this account and post more and more often and eventually work myself up to the point that I am at 96 or 97%, at which point the Xangateam can decide to arbitrarily change the way they measure status and drop me back down to 40 or 50%?? I think not.
Right is right and fair is fair Natalia. Put our accounts back to the the percentages they were at and apply the new status measurements from that point. Lets be real here, everyone that has a True badge today earned them under "your" old status measuring standards and many would not have them if you applied the new rules to their accounts.

Thank you, Harold
