Journal Jucius Maximus's Journal: Trends in Metamoderation? 6
Has anyone else noticed that the metamoderation page has recently started to serve messages that are obvious trolls/offtopic/crapflood and fewer items that are ontopic and provide new and interesting information? It wasn't always like this. Even three weeks ago there was nary a crapflood or "Malda is gay" post appearing there.
Is this some sort of deliberate experiment? Or is the troll population exploding? Or am I just seeing random conspiracies when none are present?
What's up with this? Am I the only one that is noticing this? And if you see it too, what do you think it means?

That's just me though.

Don't know what it means, though.
I don't think there's a conspiracy here... (Score:2)
(While we're on the subject of metamodding, I'd suggest automatically metamodding "-1, Redundant" mods as unfair. Given the different ways people can read /. (chronological vs. reverse chronological, threaded vs. nested vs. flat), it's almost inevitable that there will be some small amount of duplication in replies. If it's a quality post (not flamebait, troll, or whatever), why should someone who's late to reply get penalized for not constantly monitoring /. and getting in early with the FPers?)
