    Overrated? How can the only moderation done to parent be "overrated" if it's never been rated before? "offtopic" perhaps, but "overrated"?

    Feature request for slash: the first moderation to a comment can't be "overrated" or "underrated".

    Well, obviously it's "underrated" now. "funny" is also an acceptable answer. Help me rebuild my karma rating or I'll never be able to get a loan.
