    What's going on with the moderation system?

    I'm no longer getting email when my comments are moderated.

    And instead of listing the moderations given to a comment, percentages are given. This wouldn't be so bad, if those percentages were calculated by any accurate algorithm. No such luck.

    But what's this:
    Moderation +2
    50% Funny
    30% Insightful
    20% Flamebait

    (It's this comment)

    If Insightful is 30% and Flamebait is 20%, it appears that each moderation (if weighted equally) must have contributed 10%, so there must have been 10 comments.

    So 5 Funnies, 3 Insightfuls, 2 (*-1) Flamebaits = +6. But the "sum" is +2, and I doubt this particular comment got 10 moderations (I'm good, but I'm not that good).

    I'm not super concerned with my Karma (or else I'd be posting this anonymously), biut I do like knowing what impression my comments make.

    And I must admit a predjudice for math that makes sense.

    Slashdot is a great resource, but it loses a lot when the moderation system makes no sense.

    17 years ago the exact same type of ship blew up, with the exact same amount of crew on it, but yet the last one is the worst ?
