johny_qst's Journal: Moderation Attempt 1

So today was the first day I've noticed moderation points on my account. So after wandering through a couple articles comment's at a frighteningly low filter level I have a new appreciation for how quickly slashdot's userbase ballooned to massive proportions. I couldn't help feeling a little uneasy affecting other people's perceptions of a 4th party's comments. I saw a couple things that would have gotten a -1 moderation if they hadn't all been tagged before... thanks to the other mods ;) I think a lot of the moderation is handled exceptionally well, but I wonder if more users should get points to moderate more frequently. There seems to be a surprising disparity for how long really good comments can sit at 2. Just pulling the filter menu drop-down startles me sometimes when 200+ posts yields 10-20 comments above 2! Maybe it's just my time-dilation wanting everything to be happening faster than it already is. I guess I need to slow down have a beer and a bowl and watch the comments filter over time.... but damn I hate that feeling of watching grass grow. It's almost as bad as accidentally turning the tv on before the ps2 is on and cable news is blaring its programming at an unsuspecting public. :P Oh well... about that bowl....
