You guys could always redirect the effort these negative comments take to sourcing and submitting stories to us, and voting in the firehose. Probably not as fun as complaining though
I don't know if you've noticed, but every single story on Slashdot links to another site. I guess we're doing free advertising on literally every story we post.
We've figured out the spam issue so it should be fixed hopefully today. Also, in terms of the link, there's a link in the main nav that's always present. I've noticed on smaller browser windows though, it disappears. We are going to fix that as well.
There is actually a lot of automated filtering going already. It's a fine line between blocking legitimate posts and making sure we can filter spam. The more users interact withe firehose, the better the content on Slashdot will be.
If the person identifies as male, and looks like a male, but is forced to use a women's restroom, it'll probably create more problems than just letting them use the gender bathroom they identify with.
We have no fear. This story was submitted by a user, as are most of our stories, and that's what they wrote. Luckily we have great commenters to add color to the story.
Slashdot Mirror
Thanks. Fixed as well.

Yes. I'm so sorry. http://i.imgur.com/D6KCTL7.gif
If we posted just a few stories on a slow news day we'd hear from complainers too. I personally liked this story

Different angle on the story. Analysis of device ownership these days
Read TFA its an analysis of device ownership, not just an announcement like earlier this week. But complain on if it makes you feel good.

It costs: the time it takes for a user to post, and the time it takes to get voted up in the firehose. Don't like it? Be more active in the firehose.

There will be more polls like this. Not sure what it has to do with the anger around this story though. Lol.
Is telling women who show up to pick a gender neutral name a good thing?
Sorry if we triggered anyone's delicate sensibilities!
Yes you're right. It's in our queue to increase the limit hopefully soon

What's the 50 number? Comment limit? I believe we already increased that, but let me know if you're still seeing that limit.
Yeah.. Unicode issue for stories. It'll be fixed soon-ish
Also the leaders mentioned were mentioned by name in the Guardian article, where as the rest were not
