Journal Bruce Perens's Journal: Someone did a moderation hit-job on me today 14
Please see http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=175093&cid=14558550
I don't see a reason for the negative moderation. I'd appreciate if anyone with mod points would help fix this.

Back to hacking the new technocrat.net software. If I can ever get it done, maybe I can show how moderation should work.

You're working on an alternate moderation model? It's an interesting subject. And I think perhaps a more significant one than many people realize...

I've bumped up your first two. Your third was probably trying to be cute and funny, but I can see how some people might consider it flamebait, so you'll just have to see how it does in meta-moderation.
