ex-tremely annoying
This new little game is exasperating. How much fun to boost up the action of eXanga by rating people’s sites ex so that we have to have this mad dash of rating our friends sites and stuff. And if you really want to help, you have to fill out a paper and send it snail mail to prove that you are legally old enough to look at a site that shouldn’t be ex rated in the first place. Tell me that Xanga doesn’t know our birthdays anyhow. I’m pretty freaking sure I had to give my birthday when I opened the account. Yes, people can lie. But I guarantee, my birthdate is out there in cyberspace somewhere. You don’t need a copy of a document (which is probably also out there someplace) to prove anything.
And once I send in the form (what the heck will they do with that piece of tree anyhow and who has time to update these files and so on and so on), then I’d have to go to every blight on the universe- sorry, every person who’s been tagged by the sad ex-cuse for a blogger who is having this fun to rate them not ex but A. Hooray. Because there is nothing more useful than a rating system which actually means NOTHING.
Also I’m torn. Because apparently, I’m well on my way to being a blight on the universe. Indeed I did write a raunchy poem or two. Here one is, can’t find the others: dirty poem read only if you want to read a dirty poem Certainly my warning label at the top is ambiguous. You may not know that it’s raunchy just by reading the warning. If you want to, read my raunchy, be offended, rate it an ex and life will be grand. On the other hand, you could read the warning and move on,your sensibilities intact. However, if you feel inclined to rate one of my little powder puff posts ex. Wow. Good for you.
Anyhow. Like I said, I’m torn. Do I ask people to fix my rating? I don’t know if I even want to go there. I just want to write my drivel and get on with my life. Sure I’d miss a lot of you. But I have enough bullshit in my life.
This rating system is dumb. Shutting people down because you feel like it is petty. Also if we’re going to be ridiculous, a premium membership should pay for ex protection.

SWEET!!!
I will keep this PC and say “darn” right.
4 EX ratings someone really loves to keep doing that
@trunthepaige - just came from your place.
You don’t have to ask. I will rate you “A”
Me, too. What ^^ he ^^ said.
I agree!
I am just giving everyone an A whether they ask or not and tomorrow I am filling out the invasive form from Xanga so I can help out if this happens to anyone else. I wouldn’t even give an EX site an EX rating because the system is stupid. Don’t look at stuff you think is explicit. Don’t keep going back to a person’s site if they offend you.
So sorry @myxldove. Would help if I could, but I still can’t get to your site.
I think the worst part in all of this is that Xanga Team is silent. Well that and that the people who ask for ratings to be given to them don’t return the favor.
i am so with you on this
@godfatherofgreenbay - that’s a real douchy thing to do
First WDE and now you? Why would people do that? I rated you A for awesome.
I am always afraid when I use my kindle I will hit something stupid of the top of the page cause it is so small and overlaps I have often wondered if I have click the wrong things on my friends pages
I gave you an “A”.
HUGS!
@godfatherofgreenbay - I rated you
@SisterMae - it takes a few step to rate a site. It is not going to happy by accident
@SisterMae - i was going to say the same as trun did. it is actually annoying to go through the process of rating a site. so why someone would do it for kicks is beyond me.
YAY!!!! Well, I’ve already rated you A for Absolutely Adorable!!! hehehe I was gonna say something else but I wasn’t sure your ego could handle it. BWAHAHAHAHAHAA
@adamswomanback - if i didn’t still deserve my “cranky” necklace, i probably wouldn’t have give a hoo hoo.
@BoulderChristina - some people need to get a life. probably me too but my fun is harmless, i think.
@promisesunshine - Hey, “Cranky”
You deserve an “A” for being awesome, adorable, attractive, appreciated, admired, amusing, a-etc!!! 
@adamswomanback - addled, attitudinal, apt to fly off the handle, aggravated. but i like yours better. whoever you are talking about.
@promisesunshine - I was talking about YOU, SillyHeart!!!
I gave you an A.
Do you think having a premuim account would stop that, meaning, from getting an EX and then getting shut down.
There you go, an “A”, just because!
@adamswomanback - :)
how i missed you here. <3
@angys_coco - i don’t know. and it shouldn’t be able to. but on the other hand, people shouldn’t have that much control over others’ sites either. @moniet - thank you
@Erika_Steele - I gave you an “A” just now on your site. HUGS!
I just recently came back to xanga after an 8 year hiatus, and it’s pretty disheartening to hear about this rating problem. Anyway, I gave an A, and have plenty more to give for those who need it.
@The_Moon_Seeker - welcome back. there’s a lot of really good.
giving the A now.
I’ve never heard of this before. I didn’t realize it was possible to rate someone’s site. If i can figure out what it is and how to do it, I’ll help.
@distractedbyzombies - hey! i was just thinking about you! rating is up at the top of my main page. but it’s all ridiculousness. i’ll sit here quietly (or maybe i won’t) until the fracas blows over.
@Composing_Life - thank you
I’ve never found where Xanga receives complaints/advice. Must be a blog somewhere.
@promisesunshine - blows over. heh. with that poem. heh.
I figured it out! Yes I did.
So what were you thinking? Be nice. I gived you an A.
@Inciteful - it’s possible to email. i got an answer when i had a quirky thing happening. and either xanga fixed it or it miraculously fixed itself. so i know the powers up there do care about what happens on the site. perhaps i was just ranting. i don’t know why people have to play nasty.
@distractedbyzombies - i was thinking that i hadn’t seen your furry face round here in a long time and i was pining.
The ratio of ratings it takes to drop you down to an EX and back up to an A is ridiculous. The system is broken and some bunch of bitter assholes is taking full advantage of it. Premium “should” protect you from a number of things, but it doesn’t. All it does is remove ads that really don’t hurt anyone and gives you a fancy badge for your profile. Not worth the cash, and Xanga will get none from me until they get back here and start running things again.
@promisesunshine - Well I’m glad you got your fur fix without having to turn to street bears or alley cats.
Tanks.
@chronic_masticator - money well spent. that badge o mine is really sweet. not.
@distractedbyzombies - um…
I would give you an A if I knew how~
@GoneRetired - thank you. if you go to the top of my blog left of middle you’ll see “rating” click on that. then click on “site”. at the bottom is a place for you to rate my site. this ex thing bothers me. (obviously)
@promisesunshine - It is all very creepy. You have my “A” and my thanks for teaching this old dawg a new trick!
@Erika_Steele - You have an A from me (thanks to @promisedsunshine’s lesson on how to rate!
