IRC Forum w/ CmdrTaco & Hemos Tonight at 8pm Eastern

Tonight on irc.slashnet.org in #Forum Hemos & I will be hanging out answering users' questions. This is your chance to ask about the moderation system, story selection, or the technology upon which Slashdot is built. (No Biz questions please ;) It's been a long time since we last did this, and we're hoping we can answer questions and get some feedback on some new ideas too. We'll see ya there.

Comments

dear sir,

[SweetAndSourJesus]

everyone else

Re:The question I'll ask if I'm around...

[Agent Green]

But the more important question is... ...who really gives a shit?

Re:Log-File?

[Niles_Stonne]

We'll see a log file...

Then the next day we'll see another log file...

Then it will be cross-posted in YRO, and games.

Then it will show up in Features.

Duplicate selection process?

[donutz]

This is your chance to ask about the moderation system, story selection, or the technology upon which Slashdot is built.

I've noticed that not all stories on Slashdot are duplicates. How do you choose which stories to duplicate (and triplicate, and possibly in some circumstances quadricate)?

Thanks!

It's a fake!

[FurryFeet]

Disregarg that. It's obvious Slashdot has been hacked, and the story is bogus.
How do I know? Read it. Proper grammar, good ortography, even a well-place apostrophe after the word "users". There's no way in hell Taco wrote this.

This should be good

[inc0gnito]

If nothing else, I'm looking forward to the opportunity to see Taco spell on the fly. :)

Re:The question I'll ask if I'm around...

[Stephen Williams]

Maybe someone could write a long, pontificating article on the subject. "Searching for JonKatz in the Post-Columbine Neo-Hellmouth" or something.

If you're a crummy typist and accidentally type -

fart <#channel>;

does everyone else leave instead?

Re:Bad timing, but..

[evilviper]

What would be the point in that???

Re:Log-File?

[Gordonjcp]

It will be posted 47 times on /. over the next week.

In fact, that would be a good question - ask them over and over "Why are there so many dupes?"

2 questions

[smeeze]

I'll ask two questions.

1) what's with the dupes?
and
2) what's with the dupes?

Re:Stats and background

[Realistic_Dragon]

This is Slashdot - most people will just answer 'Jedi'.
