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.

    I have a question that I couldn't find in the FAQ - I hope this is an okay place to ask:

    When/how do you get moderator points? I've been on slashdot for months, my karma is currently 48, but I've never been able to moderate. The "willing to moderate" button is checked in my preferences.

    Can someone please enlighten me as to how this works? I feel kinda dumb for asking this - if someone can point me to the docs I missed, I'd appreciate it.

    I decided to check the listing for Jon Katz.
    I don't read /. for movie reviews, so I'm not particularly familiar with him myself, but it's hard to miss all the comments maligning him all over the place.

    As of the moment he has 6 fans (people how list him as a friend) and 10 PAGES (at 1024x768) of freaks (people who list him as a foe).

    I saw an idea mentioned here earlier - that you are able to edit your posts as long as long as they haven't been moderated or replied to. That would prevent somebody from goatse-ing a +5 post or changing arguments in the middle of a discussion while still allowing for some editing if you made a spelling or formatting mistake.
