Troll Blacklist's Journal: Curbing Slashdot Abuse

Like many web based discussion boards, Slashdot has a small vocal minority of abusive and disruptive users. Many of these users spend hours online attempting to harass and provoke normal Slashdot users. CmdrTaco et al have devised a trust referral system which allows users to mark bad accounts and assign them a penalty. This account in particular has a running list of ALL of Slashdot's worst abusive users. You can leverage this account to 'block out' this irritating minority by following these simple steps:

• Befriend this account
• Set Foes of Friends to -6

This account is configured such that it will not have and Friends, so that it will not throw off your Friend-of-Friend bonus. By following the above steps, you can up your signal-to-noise ratio on Slashdot by a factor of ten.
