Slashdot's use of nofollow
Sunday May 22 2005, @07:28AM
OK, so /. is only putting nofollow on links when the comment has been modded down. That isn't QUITE so bad. It protects /. from comment spam. However, it does raise one other problem: bad moderators. If a comment gets modded down, and then gets modded back up because some idiot moderator chose poorly, the comment links STILL have nofollow on them.

Bad moderators are a problem (Score:2)
'Overrated' I didn't mind, but 'Flamebait', when the post clearly wasn't, especially judging by the even split of the lengthy ensuing discussion, really griped me.
I will say that an email to moderation@slashdot.org fixed the "You are banned for flamebait posts" problem quite quickly.
Part and parcel of an open forum, I suppose.
