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.

Dude, it totally says 8pm EASTERN in the article header, and like stuff :)
For those in the UK, it should be on at 1am tonight.
If you think Slashdot sucks in all those ways, grab the Slashcode and make your own site to fill up with trolls. It's like people are getting paid to be disruptive. Oh wait, that's the topic. Sorry, my bad.
DMCA, Hollings, Palladium. What might have sounded like paranoia is now common sense.

It was a post that came up a while back...I guess about six months ago now, give or take. The poster had apparently done a study on moderator behaviour (or maybe just made the whole thing up, I don't know) which exposed some interesting...uhm...features/weaknesses of the moderation system.
/.'s moderation system. Anyway, that's what I remember...I'm sure there are others who can fill in more details...Maybe link to a copy of the forbidden post...
Anyway, while the comment was interesting to read, it WAS completely offtopic to the story it was posted to. This caused a pretty massive breakdown of the moderation system. Many moderators modded the thread up as insightful/informative/etc, while other moderators modded it back down as Offtopic.
Then the admins stepped in and screwed things up royally. First, they started using their unlimited modpoints to knock it down. Then, when it got too big to moderate by hand, they repeatedly "bitchslapped" the thread, which instantly caused all the comments to drop to -1, and blacklisted any moderators who tried to raise it back up.
It was a bad time for
I just want to take over the world...Why does that automatically make me EVIL?
