Leaving a Comment? That'll Be 99 Cents, and Your Name
netbuzz writes "Anxious to lift a ban on comments brought about by incessant trolling and anonymous slander, a Massachusetts newspaper has begun requiring two things of online readers who want to leave their thoughts on stories: a one-time fee of 99 cents and a willingness to use their real names. Says the publisher: 'This is a necessary step, in my opinion, if The Attleboro (MA) Sun Chronicle is going to continue to provide a forum for comments on our websites.'"
i wanted to post this comment, but does anyone have change for a dollar?
GNAA REBORN UNDER NEW LEADERSHIP
DiKKy Heartiez - Berlin, Norway
President timecop of the GNAA has died today. He died at the age of 55 from excessive lulz in his apartment in Tokyo, Japan while watching faggot cartoons of preteen girls beeing raped by giant testicles. The world will remember him as a total faggot douchebag who had the opportunity to unite the best trolls seen upon the face of the internet into one special hardcore machine of destruction, unfortunately he failed, instead devoting his internet carreer to animu. Although he died like a true hero he will be forever remembered as a total failure.
In the wake of his death the GNAA is thought to perish like all the other so called trolling organizations. The writing is on the wall, they say. The GNAA smells worse than BSD, they say.They have said this for a long time. The GNAA has lived, with a very faint pulse, for years.
DIKKY HEARTIEZ CLAIMS THE PRESIDENCY OF THE GNAA!!!!!!!
With the death of timecop still shocking our chats, not many are able to see ahead. But there is one visionary Nord who has great plans for the new GNAA.
"Under my leadership the GNAA will become the new home of all trolls on the internet. The GNAA will regain its old strength and will be feared by bloggers and jews alike. The time for CHANGE is now." DiKky HearTiez told a shocked audience outside the Gary Niger Memorial Plaza, Nigeria, earlier today. The GNAA will move its Internet Relayed Communications to a new location, following reports of a massive "Distributed Denial Of Service" attack on its previous location, making it unreliable.
"Our operatives are in need of a robust and safe communications service with can_flood for everyone." An anonymous source at the GNAA Black Ops department told reporters at the same conference.
KLULZ supports DiKKy Heartiez presidency!
The infamous KLULZ internet radio station supports DiKKy Heartiez for the new GNAA president.
"KLULZ is behind him 100% and will be broadcasting his speeches and support him in every way possible, we wish him the best of luck and an outstanding presidency. May many blogs burn under DiKky Hearties." This was stated by KLULZ Operations Manager and Gay Nigger g0sp when asked to comment on KLULZ involvement.

About DiKKy HearTiez
The world famous internet nord from Norway LOL HY living in a fjord LOL HY. Currently the new President of the new GNAA. He is also a radiodj on KLULZ and active in many irc chats. Known for several epic trolls in his time. Led the GNAA operation Intel Crapflood 21, who succesfully made GNAA owners of the biggest thread on Slashdot until fixed by admins. Also deeply involved in the war on blogs, and is the one who provided JesuitX with the real screenshots of Faggintosh Leopard. His leadership abilities, high iq and instoppable urge to troll, coupled with his fat Norwegian welfare check will enable him to become the best President the GNAA ever had.

organization which gathers GAY NIGGERS from all over America and abroad for one
common goal - being GAY NIGGERS.

Are you a GAY NIGGER ?
If you answered "Yes" to all of the above questions, then GNAA (GAY NIGGER
ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA) might be exactly what you've been loo
But Slashdot makes it easy to ignore said trolls.
Speaking of which, have you visited http://goatse.fr/ lately?
Slashdot doesn't filter them out very effectively, it's forever plagued by them. What it does have is ways for knowledgeable users (it's entire userbase) to reduce the noise and bring out the signal, all the while knowing full well what trolls are and how to ignore them. A local newspaper has a much smaller and much less savvy audience and needs to actually filter it out somehow, which can be exceedingly difficult if even possible at all.
Grow up. The whole point of having a forum for differing opinions is that you end up with DIFFERING OPINIONS. Some people are crazy and angry, and their posts reflect that. So what? Others are full of wisdom and insight. That's life. Trying to create barriers against those whose opinions you don't like is cowardly.
If it's a stupid comment, just scroll on by. Don't try to segregate people to different ends of the bus because you think your version of reality is superior. Instead give readers the power to quickly assess the value of a commenter and move on if it doesn't suit their interests and sensibilities.
The biggest flaw in these news systems is that they aren't using the mighty power of Slashcode, but rather slow, linear and highly limited comment systems which don't allow for meaningful debate, community building and effective personal filtering of information.

"incessant trolling and anonymous slander"
By "incessant trolling" I take it they mean DISAGREEING with 'the party line' (i.e. insane Marxist left wing policies which are clearly destroying every white country on Earth)...
What exactly IS 'trolling'? Saying things you don't like? Saying things you don't agree with? Proving you wrong in public, more like.
The JEWS are terrified of free speech. They want to be able to put YOU in prison for even saying one word against them. Would that I were so 'powerless', the poor, hard done by Jews...
I just can't understand why they've been kicked out of so many countries over the past 1,000 years...
The truth is 'hate' to those who hate the truth.
I don't know about you but:
