I am also very pissed that they aren't filtered out.
Lets fight that bullshit!
First I will examine how easy it is to script trollings into the BSD section, perhaps the Slashdot crew does a little bit of defense. But I doubt it somehow.As they don't communicate, I have to find it out myself.
Next thing is to develop a troll scanner to demonstrate how to detect that bullshit.
My guess is that those are very easy to detect.
I am not sure what will be the step after that.
Some stupid ideas are:
Harassing the Slashdot editors, by autofiling complaints, after easy bullshit detection until they include a filter in their software?
Flooding the other sections in the hope that then the problem will get addressed?
Creating a proxy that passes all content through except for identified trollings?
Forwarding each BSD troll post to the linux kernel hacker list?
I don't know yet.It is not easy. Vigilantism is something I don't really want. On the other extreme doing nothing seems only to let the situation deteriorate further.
Or should one simply switch over to Daemon News? This section is cheap rip-off most of the time anyway.
Guess this bot will beg for up mods to do something positive with the karma (auto modding the trolls down?).
The source should also kept in an open source repository under BSD license!

Shut up. Or supply something original or funny.
