John Harrison's Journal: Real Time Black List - Am I off?

So to my surprise today /. can up and there was the meta-moderation link at the top of the page. I haven't seen it since the Post of Doom. Is there some sort of time limit on the rtbl or is CmdrTaco just several months behind reading his email?

Anyhow, I clicked on the link and it wasn't some sort of joyful experience. Meta-moderating is actually not very fun. Actual moderation is fun when it happens. Maybe I should go awhile without posting and see if I can moderate for real again.

Has anybody else out there that lost the ability to moderate gained it back recently?

I never lost meta-moderation but I wasn't given moderator points until about 3 months ago. I don't know how they organized this list, but it seems that some people were affected more than others.

After slashcode 2.0 (?) was installed the amount of time between being able to moderate increased significantly for me. I finally realized that I was always able to moderate after not posting for a while. I think that the rtbl controls both the ability to moderate and m2, so you can't lose one and not the other. If someone has bothered to understand this better than I have then I welcome corrections.

nitpick

In response to your '?', slashdot operators never actually run slashcode 2.0 on slashdot. About a year ago, there were a few 2.0 features cludged into what was roughly slashcode 1.1.14 running slashdot. In august of 2001, slashdot actually switched to a variant of the 2.2.x slashcode tree.

Of course, I could be completely wrong, I'm only an outsider.

rtbl is dead

[sllort]

rtbl was erased from slashcode. new features are there in its place. details to follow in my journal as soon as i understand what's going on.
