Yes, what the hell is that? Prime AMD advert space. That's what it is. And while /. is at selling its soul to the corporate world...get an Intel section in there too (for the sake of not being so biased).

What the hell is with this one?
this front page trolling about "Microsoft Infected by Virus"

So what if someone traveled abroad and came back with more than they left with? it could happen to all of us! Including CowboyNeal- the trolling editor who allowed this to go up.

As a moderation option.

So I was reading one of the articles about why MS won't release their source, and some AC posts:

So I click through...gee whiz...modding troll doesn't seem to do justice eh?

Grump.

Some of your past moderations have been meta-moderated by other
Slashdot readers. Here are the exciting results:

        - "Re:Hooray!" from the discussion
          which you moderated as
        "Flamebait" was voted Unfair.

Summary of your recent moderation: 95% Fair

Thank you for moderating.

So everything is peachy right? 95% fair moderation.

Because I have an LJ, i post all my crap to that and not /. journal. Hence, why I've never posted to /. journal before. Well, I feel this is very much more /. related than LJ related, so I'll post it here and linky to it from the LJ.

MOVING ON!
So what the hell is with the troll mods on /.? It seems that they mod with disregard to the discussion in question. What is wrong with discussions taking forks from the orig topics? Slashdot is a forum that is open to the public to discuss and share, to help benefit society as a whole. By having troll mods modding everything down, then nothing gets shared and crap posts (those that are irrevelant and posted way after nobody reads) end up on top.

So why am I bitching now? Well simply put, It was a discussion about VNC, and this guy was like "this client is better because there is a picture of a girl"
I reply with like "nah, its probably some guy with man boobs, probably from the use of steroids" and make a joke about arnold, calif's fearless warrior and how arnold is aspiring to become president some day. (scarry thought)
then someone replies that no, he isn't natural born...but thats about to change . Thanks Senator DRM Hatch of South Dakota...the reason why I don't talk to that girl from (secret place) anymore. (well, not really...its more of my fault...but i'm not 14 and she's not 13 anymore so who cares right?)

ANYWAY...This little fork of Arnold and the presidency seemed to have attracted troll mods...and thus the thread goes to apeshit. EVERYTHING except that AC post was modded down. quite spectacular to see actually.

So with no further ado,
The Slashdot Troll Mod Thread.
Note: Every post was modded down, why? have no fucking clue why, except there are people with mod points who probably mastrubate to the rythm of them modding others down. Praise the lord theyre only alotted 5 points...at a time...per account.

Yes, trolls have the method down. They metamoderate worth shit and login with 50 different accounts, through proxies. I thought my roomate was the king of time wasters; but i guess in the real world of slashdot, he's just a peon.
