Someone did a moderation hit-job on me today

Please see http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=175093&cid=14558550 I don't see a reason for the negative moderation. I'd appreciate if anyone with mod points would help fix this.

  • You're right. I've added my "+1 Interesting" for you.

  • No mod points today, or I would help you, but overall this is just something that happens here once in a while. Can't let it get under your skin. They get creamed on metamod for doing this, and overall it doesn't happen that often, so it's usually easy to
    • I would not take this so seriously, but I consider it important to apply some guidance/reality/perspective to slashdot discussions from time to time. Allowing hit-jobs to succeed will make that impossible in the short term, and possibly also in the long te
      • I highly doubt it would ever happen enough to seriously affect your karma. Mod points are too hard to come by, and too easy to lose, though the system is far from perfect...

        You're working on an alternate moderation model? It's an interesting subject. And I
        • Yes. There are parallel moderations for "interesting", "informative", "comportment", and "agreement" rather than all of those being lumped into one. You can push + or - on each and some AJAX communicates them to the server - no form submission is required
          • Hah! I like it.

            Look forward to seeing the results.
          • i'm not an expert programer anymore (i was, back in the days of 8-bit, when the world was still young...), professional choices put me in the path of system administration, so feel free to disregard my sugestion if you find it too complex to code, or if it
      • they shouldn't be able to take away your +1. That's a permanent state, once you get there, I think.

  • That happens all the time.

    Here's two just from my recent history.

    This one is sorta flamebait, if you consider having an opinion flamebai

    • I've bumped up your first two. Your third was probably trying to be cute and funny, but I can see how some people might consider it flamebait, so you'll just have to see how it does in meta-moderation.

      Yaz.

  • Um, doesn't that defeat the purpose of moderation? On the one hand, I think that you've pegged the Karma-meter for some time now, excepting the occasional down-mod as per today. But what doesn't get caught in moderation will get caught in meta-moderation

    • But to request an up-mod when the karma wasn't hurt that bad doesn't seem like the right way to do it, though it will get the wider audience for those that surf pretty high.

      One of the main purposes of the whole moderation system is to have the good post

  • I see that your comment is now at +5 so I do not need to mod you up. However, I am thinking that some negative moderation could have been caused by people who did not like your signature. It is in bold (quite visible) and implies that Slashdot may not be
