metlin's Journal: Mod bombed yet again!

This has happened yet again, for the third time?

All my comments have been modded down for no apparent reason?

Around 15 mod-points have been spent on just modding me down.

And what more, Slashdot does not let me post saying --

Due to excessive bad posting from this IP or Subnet, comment posting has temporarily been disabled. If it's you, consider this a chance to sit in the timeout corner.

Hahahahaha! Please tell me you are joking. I've mailed [e-mail] - lets see if someone replies.

And for those of you who replied to my earlier journal post -- I'm sorry but I'm unable to reply back since I'm not allowed to post in the first place. And worse, even if I did am sure they're gonna get modded down by some pimply faced high-school kid holding a vendetta :)

The funniest thing is that just two days ago I was thinking of getting a Slashdot subscription, but now that sure as hell is not gonna be the case.

Yeah, this happened to me, about 2 years back, but it was before I got an account. The comment that was made (either there, or by Jamie when I mailed him to say "not me") about having a

Fortunately, things are back to normal. And hell, am not being modded down anymore.

I'd have really hated to give up this id, you know? Have had it for a real long time, and having to rebuild Karma yet again would have been quite painful :)

I'm glad to hear that! People like them really shouldn't be allowed to win, they suck too much.

On the other hand, I'm sort of leaving. Well, kind of- as I said elsewhere, I've turned off JE notifications so that I won't get the squillions of messages about them everyday, and won't feel compelled to reply to them. It was taking too much of my time, and I want to be doing other stuff right now (and I certainly didn't want to go unfriending people). I might switch them back on again in a couple of months or s

If I had to guess, from the timing I'd suspect Frothy Walrus (uid 534163), or maybe someone who took offence at your pro athiest/agnostic statements (I'm agnostic myself).

Two other suggestions: swearing seems to increase your chance of getting pegged by the goofballs as does using the t-word in any way (e.g., saying "not to t----" or "this is not a t----", or even (my favorite) "I suspect that you, sir, are a t----"). Talking about "goats" in any way is also risky.

I don't know why this should be, it's j
