Slashdot Mirror
Unfortunetly it has a bug in it at the moment. I intend to fix it this weekend and devise a new format as well...so look out for it soon!
That looks like the crappy font rendering in X...
What'sup withflat/threaded/nested comments?
These are justdifferentways ofdisplaying whatcanbe a ratherlong listof comments. Here'stherundown:
* Flatmode displaysallthecomments inonegigantic list, without showing anythingin the way ofrelationshipsbetweencomments.
FlatMode
* Threadedshowsahierarchyof responses,with replies aslinksto new pages.
ThreadedMode
* Nesteddisplays the samehierarchyof responses,butdisplays all ofthecomments.(Thiscanbe a bitch ofapage torender onweaker platforms and inlonger discussions.)

Why did mycommentgetdeleted?
The onlytime weever deletecomments isif the comment containsmalformedHTML thatis somehow causing Slashdotto failto display properly. Commentsarenotdeletedon the basis ofcontent. Atthis point,however, itshouldn'tbe a big worry.Thecommentengine isreasonably bulletproof,andit's prettytoughto postacommentthat breaksNetscape.
Ifyouposted a comment and you don't see itnow, itmayhave beenmoderateddown below yourthreshold(see below). Ifyousetyour threshold to-1,youshould beable toseeit again.

What'sup with"First Post" comments?
"FirstPost"comments are one ofthoseoddlittle memetic hiccups thatcome out ofnowhereandrunamok.Basically, peoplewith altogetherfartoomuch spare timesitandreload Slashdot, hopingthat theywill get the "FirstPost"in a discussion. Thisis one ofthosethings thatthemoderation systemwasdesigned tocleanup,andforthemost part, itworks. "FirstPost"comments usually get moderated downas off-topic almostinstantly.

Itseemslike the quality ofcommentpostsis declining.Areyoudoinganything about it?
Wehave a moderationsystem.
One oftheunfortunateside-effects oftheincreasing popularityof Slashdotis thatthenumber oftrolls,flame-warriors and all-aroundlamers increases aswell,andit onlytakesarelatively small numberof themto makealotof noise.Keepingthis noise toaminimumis one oftheprimarygoalsof the moderationsystem (whichis explained indetail elsewhere inthis FAQ).
Since thissystem isessentiallyan experimentin tryingto solve the problemsinherent inmass communication,onewouldexpect its success tobe variable, and indeed, thisis the case. Somedays itworksgreat, and somedays itdoesn't.

Moderationseemsrestrictive. Isit reallynecessary?
Inshort, yes.
Asyoumighthave noticed,Slashdot getsalotof comments. Thousands a day.Tens ofthousandsamonth. Atanygiventime,thedatabase holds 50,000+ comments. A singlestorymighthave a thousandreplies- and let's berealistic: Not all ofthecomments are thatgreat. Infact,some are downrightterrible,butothers are truly gems.
The moderationsystem isdesigned tosort the gemsandthecrap fromthesteady streamof information thatflowsthroughthepipe.Andwherever possible, ittriesto makethereadersof the sitetake ontheresponsibility.
The goalis thateach readerwill beable toread Slashdotat a level thatthey findappropriate. The impatient can readnothingat all but the originalstories. Somewill onlywant toread the highest rated ofcomments,some willwant toeliminateanonymousposts, and otherswill wantto readeverylast dripof data, fromtheFirstPosts! tothespam.Thesystem we've created herewill makethat happen. Orat least,it surewill try...

If i am stilled banned....
damn! ok, i'm busted. I admit it! I'm straight! Sorry, I know i do not fit in with the lunix crowd :(((((
I think perhaps you are confused. As a proud homosexual I exclusivly have sex with men. So your insult bounces off me and stickes to you! ha ha!
Yeah right, just copy my pages why don't you - fucking lamer! And you call yourself a troll? sheez! Have some respect!
Please mod as Informative, thank you..
suck it down fagboi!
Yeah, right. Trust you to be staring at his scrotum, fucking filthy little AC. Go back to scoffing daddies Manchoad...
You seem to have forgotten this!
It can be found here. Also, the one in my sig pretty much sums it up...(for you AC's that can't see sigs it's here)
It was on the good ship Venus
By Christ, ya shoulda seen us
The figurehead was a whore in bed
And the mast, a mammoth penis
The captain of this lugger
He was a dirty bugger
He wasn't fit to shovel shit
From one place to another
Chorus:
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
There was fuck all else to do
The captain's name was Morgan
By Christ, he was a gorgon
Ten times a day he'd stop and play
With his fuckin' organ
The first mate's name was Cooper
By Christ he was a trooper.
He jerked and jerked until he worked
Himself into a stupor
Chorus
The second mate was Andy
By Christ, he had a dandy
Till they crushed his cock on a jagged rock
For cumming in the brandy
The cabin boy was Flipper
He was a fuckin' nipper
He stuffed his ass with broken glass
And circumcised the skipper
Chorus
The Captain's wife was Mabel
To fuck she was not able
So the dirty shits, they nailed her tits
Across the barroom table
The Captain had a daughter
Who fell in deep sea water
And by her squeals we knew the eels
Had found 'er sexual quarters
Repeat Chorus to Fade
