Interview with EA Attorney
An anonymous reader writes "Kotaku has an outline of a discussion with one of the attorneys handling the EA case. It has some interesting details, including the fact that if the judgment is in favor of the employees it will likely force the entire game industry, at least in California, to start paying OT and Comp. "Depending on the nature of a positive judgment, other employers with similar job descriptions would most likely be required to start paying their employees by the hour and paying overtime" The article also hints that other game industry cases might be forthcoming."
Because, as the Moderation FAQ says, Overrated is for a comment that has been moderated out of proportion.
I assume you believe that the "overrated" category should only be applied to posts that have been moderated-a reasonable viewpoint but one I don't agree with.
It's not simply that I believe that (I do) but that the admins have explicitly stated that's its purpose. I guess they don't care too much about the abuse potential though, since it's a pretty well known loophole.
Just because you can post at 0, 1 or 2 doesn't mean your comment is worth it...
Of course not, but that's why there are mods like "Offtopic". The original post here was on-topic and not in any way redundant. It could certainly be disagreed with, but modding it down was just abusive, plain and simple.
