Slashdot Feature request

[Joe U]

I would like to request a feature for slashcode.

Instead of just fans and foes, can we have an option to flag 'annoying schmucks who have nothing of value to contribute'? I have a list of about 30 from this article alone, and I didn't want to clutter up my foe list.

Thanks.
