Journal Journal: Thank you, you guys rock 2
While I'm sure I have not seen the end of the abuse, thanks to all your kind positive mods, even as the negative mods continue to come in, I'm finally Karma Positive again. Thank you!!!

I just got hit by Pudge's girlfriends - again. This time, I think they waited on purpose to mod me down just as the comments would pass out of the system for moderation, so no one could correct the abuse.
Slashdot only allows a user with your karma to post 2 times per day (more or less, depending on moderation). You've already shared your thoughts with us that many times. Take a breather, and come back and see us in 24 hours or so. If you think this is unfair, please email posting@slashdot.org with your username "Scott Lockwood". Let us know how many comments you think you've posted in the last 24 hours.
Anyone still believe the bullshit "Moderation doesn't matter" argument?
Keep modding me down. I won't stop posting the truth.
We now abbreviate journals in the firehose... so they are more like slashdot stories with a Read More link to the full text.
The big user facing change this week was structural: historically we had 2 different "skeletons" on Slashdot, but with this refresh we unified to a single one. This change simplifies maintenance for us quite a bit (maintaining the idle section and the firehose views of the same data was a royal pain).
You also will see some changes to the firehose.pl layout. We're playing with the tab layout a bit, moving some menus around and better integrating the core functions into the site chrome. It's a bit buggy atm, so feel free to email me if you see something wonky. We're extinguishing a few minor brush fires but there's no forest fires that we're aware of.

The first real change is that we've changed the meanings of the UI around. The old system is 'Fair' and 'Unfair' and the new system is '+' and '-'. The meanings are subtly different. You are no longer rating individual 'Insightful' or 'Troll' or whatever... you are now stating basically "Is this comment good or bad for you". Personally, since I find very few Score:5 funny comments to be actually really funny (and not just cliche memes) I '-' most of them. You are encouraged to be harsh if you don't actually think something is insightful or funny, call it such. The system encourages more of what you + and less of what you -.
You are also welcome now to do more than 10 m2 per day... however we internally have diminishing returns after 10, so you can do more, but they start to matter less and less.
There will undoubtedly be bugs so feel free to email me or vroom at slashdot if you find them. Probably next week or so we'll move this out to everyone, so your assistance is appreciated.
So, I'm doing an occasional web DJ thing, mostly for fun, but also for the experience. If you haven't heard it yet, tune into Dementia Radio,

I suggest using either WinAmp or XMMS to listen. I don't have a set schedule, and I don't know if I will ever have one. Right now, I just fill in for folks. Be sure to check out both "The House of Hiei" and "Rantin' with Nate Boi", two shows I've covered for.
We also added a thing to 'collapse comments after reading' which I think I might turn of as a default setting soon. This is only usable for subscribers atm as well. But basically, as you navigate through a discussion, it collapses the comments you've read after you move on. This makes it really easy to navigate large discussions without having to scroll over 150 comments you've already read.
we're aware of a number of annoying bugs, but hopefully most of them will be squashed by Pudge for this weeks code refresh. If things are stable, we hope to roll this out for everyone rsn.
