Journal flikx's Journal: A slashdot scavenger hunt! (In progress) 7
In the spirit of scavenger hunts, I had the stupid idea to start my very own slashdot scavenger hunt. As follows is the tentative list of items:
- (300) Deleted comment from slashdot (50 bonus points for each additional comment deleted in the same thread)
- (300) Break up Malda + Fent
- (300) Slashdot frontpage marriage proposal (300 bonus points if same-sex)
- (300) Get an editor sent to jail (1000 bonus points if editor is also fired)
- (300) All slashdot authors active within the past month as fans of your account. (100 bonus points if all foes, 50 bonus points if mixed bag)
- (300) Ballot-stuff a slashdot poll. (2 bonus points if it's the 'Cowboy Neil' option
- (300) Front page troll, must remain around long enough to get 50+ comments
- (300) One-liner submission, front page
- (300) Any submission that gathers over 1000 comments within one week
- (300) Steal a slashdot account through any means. (10000 points if it's an editor account and you post a front page article)
- (200) Flame reply from CmdrTaco. (100 points bonus for each additional editor flame)
- (200) Do something on slashdot that causes a new item to be included in the FAQ
- (200) Abuse the system in some way, show proof that you caused slashcode to be changed somehow.
- (200) Maximum allowable posts posted, for one full week
- (200) Proof that you have met another person on slashdot. (You must have met said person on slashdot first, then in real life. (100 bonus points if said person lives at least 500km away)
- (150) Complete and detailed proof of a modbombing (You must post the comment in question)
- (150) One comment with more than 50 moderations
- (150) One comment, 50+ direct replies
- (150) Logged-in first posts, five in row, front page stories. The subject line of each first post must contain the name of a playing card, and the posts must add up to a winning poker hand. (If multiple people make it, only the account with the winning hand gets the points.)
- (100) Photo of you posing with a slashdot author. (200 points if it includes all authors) [NOTE: slashdot authors, employees, family, etc. are not eligible for this one.]
- (100) Create a new account, document least number of posts to get 'excellent' karma. (100 bonus points if you get the account posting at 0 within 24 hours after achieving 'excellent'
- (100) IRC log showing two slashdot editors bitching you out. (50 bonus points for each additional slashdot author, 100 bonus points for each k5 author.)
- (50) Create an imposter account, and get your victim to reply to at least 50% of your comments posted saying something to the effect of 'THIS IS NOT ME' (50 bonus points if your target flies off the handle, 50 bonus points if your target burns all karma, 100 bonus points if target leaves slashdot, 20 bonus points if target is an editor)
- (50) Create a new account, document least number of posts to get a pink screen.
- (50) logged in first post, must taunt.
- (10) Get a -1 troll moderation
- (10) Logged-in 'BSD is dying' or 'Steven King dead at 54' post, moderated once as +1 informative
- (10) Failed first post attempt
- (10) Empty comment
- (10) Submission posted to front page with grammatical or typographical errors (10 points for each error)
- (5) Each freak (2 bonus points for each editor)
Post here if you have any further ideas, after which I'll release a final contest sometime before year's end.
ADDENDUM
Thanks for the suggestions everyone! Maybe this could actually take off.

I know. I've been dead, or perhaps really busy. I can't remember. :-/

But you do have a big advantage with some of the big 300 point items. For example, you could get an author sent to jail. :)
