Slashdot

So I was going to make a new account for myself and do a little trolling, just to see what it was like. It took me forever to find an ID that /. would accept, then the one I got, Pirogoeth, was just too cool to defile by using it for trolling. So now, I'm just curious to see how long it takes to get my Karma back up to "Excellent".

I did find out something interesting about the /. moderating system. I logged back into this account to write this JE and found that I had mod points, so I went into one of the comments I made in a journal and modded it up. I then went to mod up a second entry and found that all the comments had a mod drop-down except for mine. Must be a built-in safeguard to keep people from doing pretty much what I had planned. Good planning, actually.

So if you faithfully keep track of your fan lists, know that now I am doubly your fan! ;-)
