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 wonder if I can killfile Timothy... this way I won't get duplicate articles anymore! :)

      Unwritten? Hells no, its written in the sacred scroll that each author must sign in blood before he gets access to the submissions bin.

      Pants are still optional, but recommended for you.

    I've thought about that and decided against it. It opens up more problems then it fixes. Plus, I like to believe that you have to insert your foot into your own mouth... you don't get to chop off your mouth.

    Anonymous Coward is a seperate thing, and can be filtered as such... just flag AC as a -2 penalty or something, and suddenly your comment view gets much smarter.

    I agree about logging in. I think there is a time and a place for AC posting, and only about 1% of all Slashdot AC posts use it appropriately. Hence the ability to blow them all away in your user preferences.

    Nothing stopping anyone from submitting their diffs with these features. We only code what we want.
