Points - what's going on here?

Just posted a reply to another thread then decided to edit (add to) my response. When I reposted, I got the following message.

User iTanker earned 1 banana points! Total now is 45 points.
User John Mack lost 1 banana points! Total now is 82 points.

Who is iTanker and why is he stealing my bananas?

 

in this post I will try to lose all my bananas.

EDIT: yes, it looks like you can in fact keep editing forever until all your bananas are gone. i don't have the patience to do this 157 times though. i wonder if i would go into the negative if i kept going after that.

Yay! If I post ONE more message I'm at 1000 pts. King Kong. Yippee!!

EDIT #1: I'd like to thank the little people without whom I would not have made such a significant accomplishment :-)

Rats... back to 999 :-(

EDIT #2: Looks like we might be designated different dingers. Mine is "BananaMan":

User BananaMan earned 1 banana points! Total now is 132 points. User aadpepsi lost 1 banana points! Total now is 999 points.

I think I'm now at 998 pts.

EDIT #3: Yup, at 998 pts. Now I'm going to be 997. So close, yet so far!!

... i must find him and kill him.

This is bizarre.

Why do we all have personal designated dingers?

Are we experiencing some kind of parallel universe?

Do iTanker, BananaMan and ibd_orangutan all know each other? Are they covertly messing with us? OMG...

Which monkey has 10 pts out there? Please volunteer your services to EDIT your posts and find out if it's possible to go into the negative! Let's do it :-)

I'm having the same problem! Except all my bananas go to "somegirlfromcali". And to make it even worse - she has more bananas than me in the first place!
