Well, people are just going to have to be on the lookout themselves if their favorites aren't being spoonfed to them. And now we have the internet to make things much easier than before when physical media and massive radio/TV transmitters were required.
At best the voters are very apathetic. It is their own lack of interest that puts them in this position. And the rest are just spiteful and antipathic towards each other.
He can delete the JE if it wasn't "published for all to see" (or whatever the button says). Here it has always been the case where the comments stay, even when the JE was deleted. There are over 17 years worth in the archives, and they are an interesting read after all that time. Aside from the mass quantities of spam, not much has really changed. All the same arguments come up over and over again, as if the first time never happened. It's an interesting phenomenon. Very educational, I would hate to see it go away.
If comments are going be deleted now, I believe Slashdot should have the courtesy to post a notice on the subject. I'm sure the discussion will be, how would you say?, lively.. or not. Maybe nobody gives a damn.
Wow, I never expected to see the employees out trolling. There was a comment there, it is no longer there. I know because I posted the original comment in those links which now just show the banners. But hey! Thanks for the props, man! Glad to see you're on the case! Keep up the good work! Binspam indeed! It's what I crave. What a shame...
Always copy the URL in the address bar for later reference. It's the only way to be sure. Saving the page locally is even better.
This is the first time I caught them in the act with real proof. Previously I had doubts, but my local copy would always find the original post on the site. This time everybody can see what happened. I was counting on a major uproar over it, but it doesn't look like people care that much, so, I'm just going to drop it.
Wait... what? Is there real fraud going on? Democrats and republicans really aren't getting 98.4% of the vote? Well, I would suggest better records are kept to prove such a thing. I would like nothing better to see people take interest.
Nobody is cramming anything down their throats in the voting booth. A different choice there might have saved them all the trouble of confronting the cops at all. Instead of needing to protest anything and getting beat up, they could have spent the day in the left field bleachers, drinking overpriced beer. But hey, it's up to them how they want to handle it.
Yeah, so much for taking the initiative, eh? We've been getting "supply side" economics for over 35 years. The voters are sucking it up. They do indeed want this. Whether it is fear of change or ignorance, it is willful. It is definitely not the government's or the corporations' fault. I don't blame the snake for tempting Eve. It is her own fault for taking the bite.
No, those links are the actual comment numbers, and I always cruise at -1. I crave the ghetto life, it's my home. Those comments are gone. There are no sliders. This is most disturbing. I really hope that enough people raise a sufficient fuss to stop it.
This cannot be tolerated! Please people! Demand that it stop immediately! Indelible, uneditable comments is Slashdot's last redeeming value! Without it all is lost!
Yeah, the first funny mod provoked the same thought. I'm sure the number is above zero. But I have to counter that with the number of murders possibly facilitated by online weapons purchases. Could be a zero sum thing.

Forget about it. Nobody cares.

You are the one with a distorted sense of reality sir. Being so one sided, obtuse is your middle name.
Orwell wrote a book about people exactly like you.
Yeah, but he's describing you...as the head of the Ministry of Truth...
All the comments from there are gone. That doesn't happen when JEs are deleted. Deleting comments is a big no-no.
Doesn't matter. When JEs are deleted the comments stay. This is a bad trend.
Slashdot is deleting comments. What is the point of living anymore? Are they trying to bump up the suicide rates even higher? *sigh*
No, those links are the actual comment numbers, and I always cruise at -1. I crave the ghetto life, it's my home. Those comments are gone. There are no sliders. This is most disturbing. I really hope that enough people raise a sufficient fuss to stop it.
:-) You trying to get people arrested?
comment by comment.
I'm pleading with you all to help stop this and save Slashdot...
Slashdot is deleting comments!
I cannot overstress the importance of stopping this!
Indelible, uneditable comments are Slashdot's last redeeming value! Without it all is lost!
Please, help spread the word, and maybe we can nip this in the bud.
Unacceptable! Unacceptable!

We used to have a social contract in America. The corporations broke it.
As demanded by the voters. And this year doesn't look any different. Same old same old...
You first!
Heh, really, the irony is thick
You consider "feel free to leave our country" and "if you try to leave, we'll shoot you with a machine gun" to be different only in degree?
Yes. And you will never prove to be anything else.
If congress tries anything silly like that, there will be 535 dead hookers in their beds.
You jest, but it's possible lives were saved

15% doesn't sound like a hell of a lot. Do people complain as much about having to provide off street parking space in the building code?
