    Don't be a social engineer whore. Let the mods decide whether or not your comment is deserving of a mod-down. Worthless comments are still worthless regardless of how much Reverse Psychology you use.

    I hope they paid for this placement. I would respect the editors far more if they were greedy than stupid.

  7. The Truth We All Must Face by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Slashdot is mostly dead, and being kept alive by bot accounts. At first this idea seems completely unreasonable, the story comments very poor signal to noise ratio is just because of trolls and idiots. Think again--dupes are a major part of this. At first this truth may seem sickening, your mind might fight it very hard, and call this a crafty troll. Sadly it is true, ever wonder why so many comments just don't fit the story and SO few are worth reading. Slashdot's decline is very real, and eventually the entire comment system will collapse. Taco, tim and the rest will be of whatever jobs they even complete now.

    4Kids is nowhere near as bad as the people from Nelvana were in their butchering ... they cut the Card Captor Sakura series in complete and utter shreds.

    It appears it is no longer flamebait. Now it's moderated as troll.
