Posted by timothy on from the heavy-duty dept.

    Because this is a linux-centric/Free Software/Open Source Website. That's why we care.

    Lately I've noticed a lot of people coming to slashdot not understanding what Slashdot is about. It's really getting annoying, so I hope the parent and this post will be modded as offtopic, or else the moderation system will fail.

    Yes, I know some people are against people moderating posts "Offtopic" but sometimes posts are actually offtopic.

    I think Slashdot's hits the age where we can all say "I used Slashdot before it was cool." I hate to say it, but Slashdot's dying. Alot of people who don't understand it are getting on the system. Opposing the NYTimes stuff, opposing sending traffic or slashdotting places on the web(despite the fact that if you don't want traffic, don't put your site up, which is an accepted fact. I don't go dancing in a mine field and bitch when I get blown up). It's like slashdot is becoming an entire separate population with politics and everything, when it's really JUST A F$(#@!!#$@ Website that posts news and allows people to comment on that news. I keep my threshold at 3, but soon I may have to up it to 4. Big deal, I'm here for the news. I don't think anyone on here is cool because they're here. Even kuro5hin has started sucking recently since it's showing alot of Slashdot-topics. It's like, come on people, go play Everquest and consider that your life, no Slashdot. Slashdot is just a place on the web with links to news and cool things, not a meeting ground for a secret underground club. Shit people, take a pill, get a life.

    Like I said, my threshold is 3, all comments moderated funny get +6 instead of +1. At least the guys running this site know what they're doing.
