A much-despised collegue of mine found out that I post here at Slashdot and had a swarm of moderation-enabled accounts push all of my posts down to ones, zeros, and even negative-ones in some instances.

This was truly upsetting, and most likely resulted from his hatred of my current research topics and success (he's in a similar field, of course, but isn't as successful).

I also canavered a few hot undergrads to assist with my research, and he was very snarly with me about that issue as well.

I didn't realize that this many people had moderation abilities. They seem to happen very frequently and very quickly. I had 48 messages accumulate over the past hour or two, mostly from negative moderations to my usually informative/insightful comments. And this morning I had at least 30 or so moderations. If anyone's being abused here, it's me.
