Pan T. Hose's Journal: Very Interesting Moderation Or The Undoing Thereof

Cultivating a long tradition of commenting the most interesting "Comment Moderating," here's the latest, unbelievably interesting gem:

Comment Moderation sent by Slashdot Message System on 1:05 Tuesday 18 November 2003

Patents and MP3 as evil as WMA , posted to Replace Your Music....Again , has been moderated Informative (+1). It is currently scored Informative (2).

A user had given a moderation of Informative (+1) to your comment, Patents and MP3 as evil as WMA , attached to Replace Your Music....Again . That moderation has now been undone, probably due to the user posting in the discussion after moderating in it. Your comment is currently scored Normal (1).

Let us focus on the last paragraph. Yes, that is right, folks. "That moderation has now been undone." Undone? Indeed. Why, you might ask? "probably [sic] due to the user posting in the discussion after moderating in it." Probably? Or provably? Yes. Right. Very interesting indeed. What do you think? Have you ever seen anything like that on Slashdot? Because I most certainly have not.
