Slackware Forums Alive Again!

Posted by timothy on from the bad-apples-turned-to-sauce-free dept.

HappySlacker writes "Looks like the forums from slackware.com that Patrick Volkerding (Slackware's daddy) had to take down because of massive trolling are fully active again after 2 years of hibernation as read-only at userlocal.com." Update: 01/21 19:23 GMT by T : Jeremy from LinuxQuestions.org points out the forums on that site, which is recommended on Slackware's links page.

    Trolls still exist on this site (I even noticed some "toddler vomit" troll today) and will continue to post. Throw as many countermeasures into slashcode as you want. The fact remains, trolls will continue to exist because, and some of you won't like this, slashdot simply sucks. The quality is horrible (dupe articles, typos, posting hoaxes, refusal to consider multiple sides to an issue). I think if slashdot decided to improve itself before tinkering with a software-driven moderation system, the volume of crap would decrease on its own. What's that quote again about using technology to solve social problems?
