Craigslist to Start Charging for Some Listings
rufey writes "In the coming months, Craigslist will begin charging fees for some of its listings. New York City real estate listings will be the first to get the fees. Starting on March 1st, it will cost $10 to list real estate on Craigslist for New York City. The fees may not be limited to New York real estate however. Job postings may see fees imposed for various parts of the country. The fees have been proposed as a way to combat the problem of people posting the same thing several times a day to keep their listing near the top of the list."
In a bold new move, Slashdot will charge each poster $10 for each story that has misspellings, misleading titles, inaccurate summaries and finally a double penalty for dupes.
Slashdot has more than a dozen such posters, who select stories for readers throughout the day.
One poster, who chose to remain anonymous, said "This is stupif. It takes several seconds to search for dupes and several seconds more to spelcheck. Can you imagine how long it would take to make sure the story is right?"
Another poster, who goes by the name...
Hahaha, and I thought moderation was bad on slashdot.
