SC use this information, because it is valuable.
That said, there are 2 or 3 GASPS who I have NEVER seen give an opinion against an SC decision. I guess this is just the way they think they need to act on these forums to keep their GASP badge. These certain GASPS I basically ignore, because anything said, they'll be able to spin even the worst decision in a positive light, somehow. Which isn't a bad thing - to be positive - but sometimes concerns do need to be spoken about. However, I've noticed SC mods and staff on these forums are happy to give the leeway needed to GASPS to express their opinions.
