theodp writes "In a world where nastiness online can erupt and go global overnight, BusinessWeek finds Corporate America woefully unprepared and offers suggestions for how to cope, including shelling out $10,000 to companies like ReputationDefender.com to promote the info you want and suppress the news you don't. And in what must be a sign of the Apocalypse, BW holds Slashdot's moderation system up as a model for maintaining civility in message boards."

    Try and find a well balanced discussion of anything here, I dare you.

    I guess for a corporate website, where the whole point is to only show one point of view (the one good for the corporation), it'd be good. It's definately prudent to get a handle on dissenting opinions.

    Fostering an open and honest discussion of tech? Hahaha... Ya, now lets pretend vista "bluescreens" every 5 minutes, and macs do everything out of the box.

    Troll? Whoever marked that as a troll read neither TFA nor the OP... Why must /. have a flood of incompetent mods? So many appear to be incapable of finding their arse, even with a trained guide.
