Slashdot Mirror

No. On the contrary, it is whack.

"and what's the url?"

I'm not 100 percent with the whole free software foundation ideology, but something about it that really appeals to me is the implication for computer security. If we could just get people to provide the blueprints for their software, I think it would go a long way to increasing computer security. Having thousands of people across the world looking at code for bugs is a heck of a lot better than just the dozen developers assigned to a particular product. It's already easy to find ways to make programs crash; let's focus on trying to find ways to keep them up by fixing bugs. Rolf

Want to mod this down too don't you!. Here's a fucking clue! 95% of readers read at -1, for good reason! So they can see the truth! I'd rather see the truth in exchange for seeing some Goatses/GNAA posts in return! You lot are almost as bad as Eugeina!

I would consider the moderation system to be the most broken part of Slashdot.

Overrated and Underrated mods don't get metamodded, so people always use it to follow your posts when they don't like you and mod them all down. This is a little known fact, for some reason. At least Taco made it so Funny mods don't affect karma, because 90% of the upmodded Funny posts aren't funny in the slightest bit.

If a ton of people mod you up to +5, it only takes one person to knock you down to +4, and their moderation type ("Troll") is the one displayed. The way it's designed leads to groupthink, where if someone interprets a post as a joke, it will be marked as "Funny," and from that point on others will see that "Funny" marker and also interpret as funny and mod it up. However, if it was originally marked as "Flamebait," others will see that marker and unconsciously interpret that way, causing them to skip over it or also mark it down.

Not to mention that going against any majority opinion around here is almost guaranteeing 99% of the time that you'll be modded down into oblivion for violating the hivemind. And Anti-Slash is always exploiting the flaws of the moderation system for its own amusement. They list their troll posts on the front page complete with links, and even have a searchable database storing past +5 posts that trolls can repost later on and get modded up (and they do, every time).

Not to mention the Slashdot editors have infinite moderation points and have abused this in the past--case in point, The Post. Several people have never gotten moderation points to this day simply because they posted a reply in that discussion. Michael has even insulted people for having a high post count. The guy who squatted Censorware and is the most despised and unprofessional editor at Slashdot actually makes fun of its devoted readers.

For a site that professes "openness" so much, the editors keep a lot hidden and don't talk very much to vistors (try e-mailing Taco sometime and expect either nothing at all or a very nasty sarcastic reply). Heck, if you even dare suggest that Slashdot move away from this ugly, godawful, absolutely horrible 1998-era visual design, the response is either nothing at all or "submit a patch if you want." Nice.

This place has been going down the crapper ever since VA Linux bought it out. Don't people realize this website is corporate-owned now? For all the anti-corporation spiel that goes on around here, I'm surprised that fact is ignored. Suddenly all the anti-"M$" posts are put into perspective. Must be nice for a company to own a "news" website that just so happens to post a lot of "news" articles negative toward competitors ("Microsoft Violates Human Rights In China").

There was a time when Kuro5hin was the alternative, and I used to visit that place back when they actually posted technology news that Slashdot wouldn't touch for whatever reason. But now Kuro5hin is a left-wing hellhole, where Bin Laden is a "misunderstood freedom fighter." The sad truth is that Slashdot is seen as the bastion for tech news in the geek community, and the fact that Taco shrugs off its relevance as "this is just a hobby" means we don't get any sort of professionalism at all, but instead more reposts, typos, completely false articles, and broken discussion systems.

Go here!!!
And find out the TRUTH of how slashdot is all about censorship, abusive moderation, and editor injustice.

Ever notice the "beat the rush and see it early" link at the top of slashdot when a new story is about to come out?

Sounds good, doesn't it? To be able to view the pages linked to in the article before the tens of thousands of other slashbots click to view them.

Did it ever occur to you that you're taking part in cyber-terrorism?

That's right: Slashdot's editors are cyber-terrorists. They coordinate a DOS against small websites, and they attempt to collect moeny from people who wish to be spared the effects of said DOS. Terrorism, plain and simple.

You can fight this and other crimes by slashdot's editors by joining anti-slash. Anti-slash is committed to forcing the editors to own up to their numerous crimes against the geek community. Until our demands are met, we will relentlessly discredit them as a news service through trolling and other means.

REPOST FROM ANOTHER STORY

They offered a mirror, yes. A very special mirror.

This one.

Mods should visit Anti-Slash daily to see a running list of posts to avoid. They have a list of trick posts on their front page for their amusement.

You'd be amazed at the amount of duped +5 posts from the past that get modded up again and again, thanks to their database tool that stores +5 posts from every article. Trolls repost past +5s to get more karma for their troll accounts.

Congratulations. Welcome to the club

You are surely a worthy soldier of Allah.

You're arguing with a classic repost.

I suggest the mods around here visit Anti-Slash daily. They maintain a daily list of troll posts, reposts of +5s from past articles, and other mayhem that they successfully get modded up here on Slashdot, all for their amusement.

off to make another account to waste 10 mod points (plus fuck up meta-mod). What I do, I do in the name of sacred jihad

jihadi_31337

Note to mods: "Joceyln Parfitt" is an Anti-Slash troll. Note how "she" changed her sig to "SPECIAL NOTICE: BSD IS DYING" after getting modded up. Feel free to mod this "woman" (yeah, right) into oblivion.

Comments that need moderation
Slashbots mod up a wrong comment. Combined whore and troll

hey guys,

i'm not sure exactly what i'm doing here. so...bear with me!

i clicked "geeky" on my match.com personals profile, thinking that i'd maybe get hooked up with somebody who was into math or some kind of toy train hobby or something...boy howdy was i in for a shock! i went on 4 dates with guys who all got on match.com because of osdn personals from slash-dot! 4 guys!

anyway, it didn't really work out with any of them, because it seemed like they were all under some kind of mind-control robot or something! i was like "what do you think about office? office 97 is enough for me, but there are some things about xp that are cool too...." the first guy i asked that to exploded on this tyrade about how office was evil, and that it uses html that's invalid...blah blah blah, whatever...i figured "ok, this guys a freak, but i'm not giving up that easily." so guy number two and i are having dinner, and just as a test i bring up office, and he says the *exact* *same* *things* the first guy said! it was like he was reading from a script! i'm thinking to myself "is everybody from slash-dot programmed to say the same thing or what?" i decided to do a bit of investigation.

i actually surfed over to slash-dot and read some of the articles...mostly they were pretty boring, and the comments were just like i expected judging from my previous past experience: scripted!!! just when i was about to completely write the whole thing off, i found a post from some guy who's with anti-slash, some kind of anti-slash-dot website. i mailed him and was all "i so agree with you guys, look at what sheap these slash-dot people are!" he wrote back and made some funny comments (funny and so *true*!...that is soooo the best kind of humor...but i dirgress...) and guess what? this weekend i'm supposed to meet him for dinner :) if you're reading this, i look forward to meeting you in person, john!

anyway, that's my story. ladies: if you're looking for the real cool geeks, check out anti-slash. and fellas, you should check it out too and maybe use to to break out of your mind-control suits!

The grandparent post is a REPOST from anti-slash's db tool. Someone else wrote it in the past and it was modded up to +5, then their searchable db tool catalogued it for easy reposting when the topic comes up again.

Mods, visit Anti-Slash if you don't want to be duped--they do this almost every single day, and they list them on the front page and mock you.

people who are stupid enough to surf with javascript turned on, will get sent to some nasty page

You've got it. See the two comments where the guy lists his website as www.gnaa.us? That should raise a red flag for anyone that browses at -1. Inside that comment is a javascript redirect to the latest incarnation of the lastmeasure website.
