So few comments today.

For that matter, there are the fiddly things that 1% of users care about, and then there are the things that really turn people off. My list of easy fixes that would really improve relations are: 1. Add green bars above comments. 2. Make fonts more similar to current fonts, and make the text darker.

Wait, I can't see the context in which your comment was made. Oh yeah, Beta.

Thanks for the response.

I would have been banned by now too I would have thought. ha ha.

As it happens I do not subscribe to the conspiracy theories of an intentional killing of Slashdot community. However, I did want you and the other developers to REALLY hear us. It is obvious that you have. Heck, there is a blog post in the Washington Post about it.

So I will forgo final judgement on Beta until the developers have had a chance to do what they can with it. The question will always be, will those that decide on the objectives for the recode believe how serious we are about keeping the essential elements of Slashdot in.

I, like many others will not be here this week. However, it is impossible to resist stopping in momentarily to see how things are going.

There have been reports that anti-beta commenters are being banned by IP address. Has there been an official response to this allegation? Censorship by moderators we expect on Slashdot, no matter the topic. Censorship by Slashdot is something else...

Beware Dice malware named Beta

Fuck Beta with a Big Alpha

Say it with your real ID.

If they don't want us, then they know how to lose us.

Entitlement? phooie. Free? Undoubtedly, we ARE the product then. As such, we want them to pay us the right way. With a site that works the way we want it to work.

We are doing DICE a kindness by letting them know in no uncertain terms that they will lose us.

I agree. Kill Beta.

AC

Beta is a government spying prevention program....Who could stand to look at people comments on the Beta site?

FuckBeta. LongLiveAlpha.

I've notices this too.

Wrong. The topic is Beta. The topic is what the users of Slashdot decide it is. We moderate ourselves.
