Slashdot

Most of the time I keep up on /. enough to use moderator points. The last time they came around, however, a combination of being tired and not wanting to read the 4 most recent articles left me with points. A couple days later, the points never did anything but are gone. I like that there are so many users that my occasional apathy doesn't adversely effect the function of the site. I'll continue using meta-moderation as often as I have time, but might not moderate every round now that I've though about it some.

I saw an entry by KarmaTroll which was, effectively, copy/pasting a whole article. Although I have never found it insightful or informative but have instead found it downright annoying, I was surprised when the post was modded down. Copy/Pastes are usually dubbed informative, and sometimes stupidly dubbed insightful, but rarely shot down. Maybe the name KarmaTroll did it.

This is so freakin' exciting. When I can't think of anything smart to say as a comment I can just give a nod of approval to the smartest comment I read on an article. w00T
