I find it amusing that "write in Journal" is an option in the "Info" tab of the user page, rather than in the "Journal" tab.

[apparently the new CSS layout fixes this. Oh well, it was a fun rant while it was still relevant]

After reading /. stupidity , I feel moved to make a suggestion to /.

Make a new category. Something like "Tabloid". Maybe "Enquirer" or "Weekly World News" would be better.

Some place to put articles that are just dumb pontification or predictions. Some place that I can disable.

I just read an article (lame), and a few comments (insightful). I wish I had mod points to blow on some of the smarter comments, and to fry a few of the higher ones from folks who clearly did not read the article.

I want my mod points to sit around until I wanna use 'em. Maybe better - don't even tell me if I have them - just put in a request button. If I could have points, give 'em to me.

There are articles that I wanna comment in, and others that I'd just like to mod. Let me get mod points in a way that is similar to how I post articles.

I have 5 mod points. I wish I could use them to mark a story as -1: lame/stupid/tinfoil hat/flamebait and make it go away.

Wow. I get them all the time now. Maybe I just had to set up a journal.

Couple of days ago I got my 5 mod points! Musta been about half a year since the last round.

I just posted for the first time in a while right before I got 'em. Coincidence?

As someone with excellent karma, I'm wondering how often I should expect to get mod points. 'Cause it's been a LOOOONG time.
