shanen's Journal: Another example of poor moderation

Another example of abuse of the moderation system. At least I'm pretty sure it is targetted negative moderation with no real purpose except to reduce my karma in hopes of making my posts less visible. If the identity infomation were not hidden, I'm pretty sure most of those negative mods come from the same troll. For example, one of them is targetted at a two-line post that said something totally trivial. Not worth the effort of moderating in any direction--but the total number of negative mods comes to five. That's also the total number of mod points you normally get, so it would seem the troll blew his whole quota on me.

Another example of the remarkable stupidity of the Busheviks. My normal favorable moderations pretty much negated the troll's 'best shot'.

Here's the moderation report (but I tried to add a border to make it more visible):
