yagu's Journal: good grief

Have you Meta Moderated recently? Regular Meta Moderators are more likely to get mod points.

Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha....

This is now the running joke for me with Slashdot. I'm still averaging about 2 metamoderations a day... lately I've been getting "hit" with sometimes three a day... and one time I got repeatedly bludgeoned with requests to metamoderate immediately after having done so. I stopped counting after doing about six in a row within a ten minute span. Shit.

So now it's been almost a year since my last moderation points. Who the fuck is getting these mod points?

Not so sure it matters much -- I'm starting to get a little fed up with this place anyway... It's kind of an old-boys' club at the same time as being a cesspool of bad writing, bad articles, and bad opinions. Pretty close to going off this grid. It may be a relief. For what I've recently gotten out of it, I'm putting an awful lot of time into it.

I get mod points about once a week.

Yours would be an interesting approach. Unfortunately for me I haven't received mod points for a year now. Not sure why. But I have metamoderated about 800 times in that period, and now I've grown very tired of that.

I USED to get mod points 2, sometimes 3 times a week. I haven't a clue what happened but it really is pissing me off. My karma has stayed excellent for a few years now, no dings. And I typically have out of the 24 most recent posts 10 or more "5's". (I even have a captured screen of the

I understand. My basic point was that if I wasn't getting mod points I wouldn't be metamoderating either.
