You're over-reacting a bit. I'd say he meant to always be aware of the law of unintended consequences when you're buggering about with shit you only know a bit about.
Given that most of the members here are Americans, I suspect that few of them could point to it on a map. I'd predict a three way split between Ireland, New Zealand, and that one that looks a bit like a camel.
If anything, do more to encourage meta-moderation, and perhaps make it easier to see the parent post of the post you meta-moderate.
Sometimes there's a link to the post. Sometimes, almost randomly, there isn't. A "see in context" button would be good.
For the actual moderation, the only change I'd like to see is that anyone who spends all their five mod points on downvoting someone gets no more mod points for a year.
Perhaps downies should cost double an upper? So you could do 5 downs or 10 ups or 2 downs and 6 ups.
P.S. I haven't had modpoints since I criticised all the Roland Niquepaille posts back in the day. That Sims twat, I suspect.
It could affect the post, but not the user's karma. Sort of like +1 funny does but in reverse.
As I've said before metamoderation should go back to the old system where you moderate the moderation rather than expressing an opinion on the original post. Modders who are "downmetad" should lose their modding rights (or at least be sent to the back of the queue).
I tried a relatively recent version of plasma on some live distro and it was shite. For something that's supposed to be customisable you'd think it would let me add an icon to a panel.
The problem is these platforms are becoming DE FACTO speech platforms to the point that either they need to start developing common carrier rulesets, or we need to develop other comms platforms that people can easily join and communicate on. I am not comfortable ceding THIS much speech to a EULA alone.
But they aren't teh gubbamint. It's OK when corporations do it, because freedom and enterprise and markets and all that.

It was submitted by someone who is way above average at shilling. All his posts are puff pieces for undieprisersprotests.
Plus ca change...

I've seen it abused in other places. A staff member was losing an argument and started threatening bans for people who disagreed with him.
You should be a player or a referee, not both.
But that enables bait & switch trolling.
If you must do it, don't put a time limit - lock it once there's a reply (or if someone is in the process of replying).
If that's too hard, keep the history.

I don't, you presumptuous toad.
It's a shit solution to a non-problem.

You should have put the warning before the link. His finger got cramp before he reached it.
You mean something like the UK did in the middle of last century?

Just remember that the US doesn't have to do what other countries do. Therefore, it follows that they can only do what other countries haven't done.
Indeed. That's why it was forbidden on pain of court-martial for the RAF to shoot at Boche Heinkels in WW2.
Oh, hang on. It wasn't and you're full of shit.
It's private in the sense that they know that that they're tracking you and you don't.
Sod that. Blast it to fuck and hope one of the fragments goes where you want it.
No, and I don't care. Because it's not relevant.
It doesn't matter if the life form has nuts, doesn't have nuts, used to have nuts or is saving up to get some nuts.
What matters is that the one in question is nuts.
Put a bag over your head.
As an added bonus, nobody will know that you're a total dork.
You certainly were.
Most Americans never learn them.

I'm not saying yes, I'm not saying no. Check her posting history and have a bloody good laugh.
Ummm, I mean check her posting history and make your own mind up. Yes, that.

And if you disagree you're a commie.
I'm not saying it's the Freemasons, but it's the Freemasons.
I disagree with twenty things Trump says for every one I agree with.
Despite that or because of that, the last thing I'd want is for him to be censored in any way.
Please. It's not Friday. Spare me the SJW crap.
Groupings and decimals aren't the same thing. If it was a grouping of four it would have appeared as 1.2xyz and not 12.xyz.
Also, last time I heard, China don't use the Euro.
So is a Zundapp 750. So is your mom. ... and they're both fun to ride!

Crikey. My school didn't even offer anatomy, let alone surgery.
There shouldn't be anything before the € anyway.
