At least it protects you from reading the rest of the april fools jokes.
slashdot decided it would be really droll... err... funny, to ROT13 the articles, so users are ROT13'ing their posts.
Personally, I don't find ROT13 to be very secure. As a result, I *always* double ROT13 my posts, for maximum security.
