Slashdot Discussions Now Include Roulette Video Chat

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the let's-keep-this-rated-pg dept.

It's been a long time coming, but we're pleased to announce the latest updates to our discussion software. We've been paying a lot of attention to what other websites have been doing in the space, and as we are only too happy to steal good ideas, from now on all Slashdot stories will now be accompanied by a Roulette-style webcam video chat. In testing, we've discovered that Slashdot users are amazingly likely to engage in informative, troll-free discussion when presented with the video image of one of their peers. This new addition to Slashdot nicely rounds out and improves the discussion experience for all users.

    ... this would fit right in with all the other crappy non-features that have been forced into slashdot lately.

    Well let's look I'm done with slashdot for the day.

    Okay I admit it - The videos were funny at first, but now I'd like to be able to turn them off, and nobody seems to have included that ability.

    CSS is not getting fixed on Idle because Taco and co want it to go away. Since they are corporate schills, they can't say so: all they can do is make it so bad they just "have" to kill it.
