Slash Privacy Watch's Journal: Slashcode Gagging Component Modified

The gagging component of Slashcode has been modified. Rather than blocking any user who receives a signifigant quantity of negative moderation, the new system blocks any user (or user subnet) who is anonymous or has less than 1 karma point who receives negative moderation. This change will hopefully discourage abuse of the moderation system for the purpose of censoring unpopular users, though it does not protect the truly unpopular, for instance, persistent Windows advocates who have zero or less karma. Thanks to jamie for this change.
