Exactly how many times do people actually follow links in the.sig of a user with negative karma? You'd have to be extremely keen on gay porn or a total/. newbie
The last few months I have been doing some research into the trolling phenomenon on slashdot.org. In order to do this as thoroughly as possible, I have written both normal and troll posts, 1st posts, etc., both logged in and anonymously, and I have found these rather shocking results:
More moderator points are being used to mod posts down than up. Furthermore, when modding a post up, every moderator seems to follow previous moderators in their choices, even when it's not a particularly interesting or clever post. There are a LOT more +5 posts than +3 or +4.
Logged in people are modded down faster than anonymous cowards. Presumably these Nazi Moderators think it's more important to burn a user's existing karma, to silence that individual for the future, than to use the moderation system for what it's meant for : identifying "good" and "bad" posts (Notice how nearly all oppressive governments in the past and present do the same thing : marking individuals as bad and untrustworthy because they have conflicting opinions, instead of engaging in a public discussion about these opinions)
Once you have a karma of -4 or -5, your posts have a score of -1 by default. When this is the case, no-one bothers to mod you down anymore. This means a logged in user can keep on trolling as much as he (or she) likes, without risking a ban to post on slashdot. When trolling as an anonymous user, every post starts at score 0, and you will be modded down to -1 ON EVERY POST. When you are modded down a certain number of times in 24 hour, you cannot post anymore from your current IP for a day or so. So, for successful trolling, ALWAYS log in.
A lot of the modded down posts are actually quite clever, funny, etc., and they are only modded down because they are offtopic. Now, on a news site like slashdot, where the number of different topics of discussion can be counted on 1 hand, I must say I quite like the distraction these posts offer. But no, when the topic is yet another minor version change of the Linux kernel, they only expect ooohs and aaahs about this great feat of engineering. Look at the moderation done in this thread to see what I mean.
Digging deep into the history of slashdot, I found this poll, which clearly indicates the vast majority does NOT want the moderation we have here today. 'nuff said.
Feel free to use this information to your advantage. I thank you for your time.

Considering the same start/stop the presses joke was already made in the title of the article, I'd say your post IS pretty redundant. Fucking moderators marking it as a troll is a disgrace to all trolls.
If you even suggest rendering software, I'll tell you this: I run everything from Maya 4, to 3DS Max R4 and even Bryce, and the rendering times on my Geforce 3 aren't much different from those of my old TNT 2 Ultra.
That's not a very big surprise, since the real-time rendering a 3d chip performs has *NOTHING* to do with the rendering of these applications : they all use their own engines, which create far better realism, but not in real-time.
A fast 3d chip will only make modelling easier, because you can get a decent (real-time) preview of what your doing.

Repost? Now that would be -1 : redundant, wouldn't it? I'd hate to loose my newly acquired karma again.
Slashdot: the the most successful troll ever!
Excuse me, there's a type in your .sig
If anything, it only encourages more trolling as trolls giggle with delight when some jackass gives them a negative score.
I'd say that pretty much sums it up.
No, you lost. Now THAT will hurt

If there are algae on her bra she must be a CS students alright.
Damn that was corny
My Hello World program is like your dick :
It's the smallest in the world

There's ever-increasing evidence that linux is not an OS, but a virus! They even say so on kernel.org!
A number of people have written us reporting that (...) the Linux kernel tar file contains a virus.
Boy, am I glad I only use Microsoft software!
how do i read those strange .tar.gz files? Should I use winzip?
put up a webcam please where we can watch you kill yourself.
btw, you're right, you SHOULD kill yourself

So what exactly is not free about morpheus? oh right, free as in speech, not beer.
I'll choose free beer over free speech every day of the week.
Would you care to elaborate? An example would fit nicely
My god you're a retard.
But it will be moist and brownish and probably smell a tad foul, maybe even a little bloody
That's halve of the fun : make her lick it clean afterwards.
This is unprecedented! Ringbarer takes the first THREE posts, AND they're ON-topic!
I salute you, ringbarer!
keep up the good work
That doesn't rhyme, moron
finally, now off to bed.
I also don't like the way he played down the character of Arwen, and added unneccessairy characters like Glorfindel
Alas, I stand corrected.
I'd bow to the true master first poster, if it were not an anonymous post.
I win!
oh no, more scifi crap
