same thing happened to me. its level 2 mods i guess. but i still changed my password. just go to profile settings and where it says change password, put in your new one, then put it in again in the line under that. i dont think its fair for them to do that. they make everyone sound like a real ass. hope this helped.

Indeed, to back up what jbdreamer said, the L2 mods can adjust ratings. However, we're only supposed to do it when it is truly necessary (like, if someone is handing out low ratings to be vindictive). You can still change the ratings back...

...but I will add as I always do - the ratings are only in place to try to promote people giving better advice. A lot of people don't use the system appropriately, handing out 5's for everything (bad), or not rating at all (also bad). Sadly, other than people like me pontificating about it constantly, there's little we can do about it until more people realize that this site isn't some sort of ratings game.

You can chage your password by going to profile settings. It's the first option on the page. Unfortunatly I think we have been having prolems with some level 2 mods changing ratings, and advice admin has asked this to be stoped. If you are still having problems with that, please bring it up with advice admin.
