molnarcs's Journal: (Meta)moderation

Just so you know ... I don't really care about it. I take karma (and mod point) as a fact - If I have it, good, if not, I can still post and browse comments just as well. Metamoderation is fun - since my 'morning press' is slashdot, I made a habit to attend to metamoderation - often I found interesting discussions via mm (its like a special search interface hehe). Anyway... I wrote this as a disclaimer, to put in my sig maybe, because this was modded flamebait. Yes, I cared about this one, because this is +5 funny if you think about it (and read the discussion). Oh, the irony!

What's up with people who act as if their life depended on ./ karma? The funny thing is, that for a brief time (well, after the first few times I got mod points - lol, the very first time I didn't know what to do with it btw... couldn't find the moderate button at the bottom - ooops, an assonance!) I felt how this systems can drawn someone into it (language, language - I'm not a native speaker mind you!) - I know it can be addictive, and one can invest lots of emotions into it. But ultimately, what matters is the news, and to take it easy. (lol@antislash and such peeps - get a life!). Rant over, have a nice day.

EDIT> +++funny how some sort of minor battle developed around the parent post. For the past minutes it kept changing from +5 insightful to +1 flamebait and then back to +5 insightful. I have to modify my initial statement: I do care about moderation! It's fun!

I understand this might be not something of a news for oldtimers, but it was good entertainment for me at the moment.
