Slashdot Code Update

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the read-this-stuff dept.

You will likely notice a variety of changes in the comments system if you are logged in. Most of these changes surround the new 'Zoo' system which implements (among other things) a sort of killfile function, and much more. Logged in users have the ability to flag each other as Friends or Foes, and assign bonuses and penalties appropriately. So if a user annoys you, you can easily not read their comments any more. If you notice any bugs, feel free to submit them or let krow or me know.

    So how do you perceive Cmdr Taco ?

    Friend
    Neutral
    Foe

    Note: Who you like and dislike is not private; it can and will be used against you.

    Do you mean I may get sacked if I happen to feel some sympathy for some of the trolls ?

    I believe this is a little dangerous unless we have the guarantee that you are trustworthy enough to use this.

    Until then, well... Everybody is my friend.

  2. Re:killfile timothy! by Spy+Hunter · · Score: 5, Informative

    You've always been able to exclude story authors, its been in the preferences for a long time. Making timothy your foe won't do much since it seems to be an unwritten rule that Slashdot editors post comments on the site no more often than once every six months or something...

    Nah... all you have to do is change op=addcheck to op=do in the query string.

  5. Gnus has a slashdot backend by Per+Abrahamsen · · Score: 5, Informative

    which makes each /. article appear as a newsgroup, with the comments being the messages in the group.

    Unfortunately, one has to run the CVS version of Gnus for this to work, since it does it by parsing the html, and need to be updated each time /. changes format.

  6. Re:Same Code as Slash? by michael · · Score: 4, Informative

    Slash 2.2.2 was just released (actually, the friend/foe stuff has been live for some time, though hidden because the icons weren't on comments). Slash 2.3 is likely to be released before Linuxworld (end of January).
