Okian Warrior's Journal: I got banned! (Slashdot mods are awesome!)

I was banned from Slashdot for about a day.

If too many of a user's submissions get modded "spam", the Slashdot system automatically bans the account. I've been posting a lot of political stories, and someone(s) went and marked them all as "spam", and I got banned.

You can check my submissions yourself to see if you think they are spam.

If you think they *are* spam or otherwise inappropriate, I'd like to hear about it. I don't want to get banned again, and in any event I'm happy to behave more in keeping with what people want.

Kudos to Slashdot mod Logan who actually received and addressed my feedback about this!

Imagine - a corporate mod actually received and read a complaint, looked over the account, and unbanned it!

Totally blew my expectations.

Slashdot rocks.

Pretty spammy

I have to agree with the mods, your submissions look awfully bad.

Stories without a sci/tech angle don't belong here, and most of yours have none. Your submissions are a lot of rumour-mill crap, full of words like "appears", "alleged" and "supposed", lousy sources like near-tabloid publications, etc.

I see the problem...

...your submissions were leaning the wrong way. Next time, use italics. ;)
