..against Signal 11. You can't moderate him up forever just because you're afraid to get 'bitchslapped' by Rob Malda. Be a man and stand up for your beliefs!
This is exactly what I've been advocating all along: A system where every registered user can rate every single comment. The/. karma system only invites abuse and creates an artificial divide between the haves and the have-nots. The windfall from having a system like Kuro5hin is that bad comments will just be ignored. There is no "negative feedback loop" that motivates people to keep posting.
You must be new around here. Slashdot was much more interesting and readable before the moderation system was put in place. Moderation has attracted all kinds of shady people who thrive on the attention they get from moderators.
Here is my suggestion to Rob: every post should start at the same default score, and initially ONLY ALLOW POSTS TO BE MODERATED UP. Dump the -1 rating. At the same time dramatically increase the number of moderators. Everyone on Slashdot should get a voice in moderation! THIS IS WHAT FREE SPEECH IS ALL ABOUT.
"What are Share Options Worth?" "Hacker Stockholders Unite!" "The Stock Market, Armageddon, the Net & OSS" "Ask Slashdot:Linux and Stocks" "Buy MS stock now! Cheap!" "Red Hat Stock Splitting" "Caldera Publically Trading" "Red Hat Files For Followup Stock Offering" "VA Reprices Again" "How to Approach Venture Capital Firms?" "Red Hat Announces IPO"
Mr. Malda, how exactly is the stock market 'offtopic' on Slashdot?
