Genzing is absolutely unacceptable!

Forum Ranks
The context of this is going to be pretty obvious to a lot of people, but for those who are still puzzled, as I'm trying to get an unbiased picture please don't read it until after you've responded.
Context:
Spoiler
In an argument about whether the practice of Genzing* is acceptable or not, I refuted a point regarding imbalance in the forum by remarking that people aware of the practice don't give that much weight to forum rank anymore. I then realised I don't know if this is actually true or not, so I'd better check.
*For those unfamiliar with the term, Genzing is when a user spam-likes another user. This can be done to annoy people, as was probably the case with ComradeGenz the pioneer of this phenomenon, but is usually done to boost somebody's points and is favourably received by most. This has the effect of making ranks pretty much meaningless - I for example am hardly the greatest contributer to this forum, but because people occasionally Genz me I have a pretty high rank.

You are entitled to that opinion. I disagree.

We literally just had an entire conversation about this.
Edit, because you edited the following comment (previously it only had the first sentence in it
I never said it didn't. Your behaviour is increasingly implying that on some level you think mine doesn't, to say nothing of all the other people I've seen objecting to your anti-Genzing stance.Claudio NVKP wrote:

There, blown off some steam. Sorry, but this is starting to get on my nerves.

You'll notice how I was trying to keep the explanation of context neutral, and also discouraging people from reading it before answering the question.

I made it to try to sort out this whole situation. So far you're the only person I know who objects to Genzing this strenuously. I'm not changing my practices just for one person, only if it turns out there's an actual problem.

Forum ranks are just based on posts and likes. If you want to raise your forum rank, you could just say “Hi” on every thread. Perhaps I shouldn’t give some suggestions.

I also notice you have single-handedly spoiled my attempt to get unbiased votes.
Edit: this was addressed to Claudio.

I think most people understand this by now, but Claudio seems to think it matters enough that doing that sort of activity should be banned. If he disapproves that's fine but I think he's going way too far with this.6thDragon wrote:

Can you please shut this guy up? Which asserting one's opinion is fine the degree to which he's doing it, and his lack of tolerance for alternate opinions, is entering the realms of the Deeply Annoying, and he's not listening to me.

Just to clarify my vote ("forum rank is completely irrelevant"), I already thought so before genzing became so common. I judge users on the content they provide, the wisdom of their words, or even the kindness of their hearts, and not on an amount of posts; that stands with or without genzing.

This is indeed what I believe too. Ranks should not Be cared about.K.Rokossovski wrote:

And genzing must be stopped.
