Journal: No Moderation in the Frequency of Moderation?

Today was the 4th time this year I've been given moderator access. I'm not sure why I'm getting it so frequently lately...last year it was never more than once every month or two. That was a frequency I could handle...I never really get that deep into a Slashdot discussion anyway. Now getting access every couple weeks seems more of a burden than a priveledge. I think I'll let the points expire this time and see if the system will space-out my moderation opportunities a bit.
