I would have been banned by now too I would have thought. ha ha.
As it happens I do not subscribe to the conspiracy theories of an intentional killing of Slashdot community. However, I did want you and the other developers to REALLY hear us. It is obvious that you have. Heck, there is a blog post in the Washington Post about it.
So I will forgo final judgement on Beta until the developers have had a chance to do what they can with it. The question will always be, will those that decide on the objectives for the recode believe how serious we are about keeping the essential elements of Slashdot in.
I, like many others will not be here this week. However, it is impossible to resist stopping in momentarily to see how things are going.
There have been reports that anti-beta commenters are being banned by IP address. Has there been an official response to this allegation? Censorship by moderators we expect on Slashdot, no matter the topic. Censorship by Slashdot is something else...
Entitlement? phooie. Free? Undoubtedly, we ARE the product then. As such, we want them to pay us the right way. With a site that works the way we want it to work.
We are doing DICE a kindness by letting them know in no uncertain terms that they will lose us.
Im only saying this because I want what I want. If I dont get what I want I'll leave. But I don't want to leave, so I say , ":Fuck Beta."
Then leave it, you say. I say you left it. Once Beta is made permanent, then Slashdot will have died. The originators left already. The UI left. We are Slashdot has left, except you, the "Adult."
p.Have fun with that.
Just submitted a story to the Firehose: Once Slashdot beta has been foisted on me, what site should I use? Why don't you take a drink and plus it.

Wait, I can't see the context in which your comment was made. Oh yeah, Beta.

Beware Dice malware named Beta
Fuck Beta with a Big Alpha
If they don't want us, then they know how to lose us.

I agree. Kill Beta.

FuckBeta. LongLiveAlpha.
I've notices this too.
Wrong. The topic is Beta. The topic is what the users of Slashdot decide it is. We moderate ourselves.
Fuck you and fuck beta.
Your experience will die if Beta goes into full production. Then you can enjoy all the spammers you must be wanting to enjoy.
I'm glad it took off. They noticed big time. Someone might even lost a promotion/bonus/job upstairs for it.
"Fuck Beta. Fuck it twice."
SlashAlpha killed SlashBeta

It seems wider to me. Now, put in the green bar for higher contrast between comments. One step at a time and lets see if they can make it good.
I'd like to participate in this article. Seems interesting. Instead Im wasting my time trying to make Dice realize that they are messing up
Listen to your users.
