skinfaxi's Journal: My first stalker

My first slashdot stalker. Someone went around and found all my latest posts and squandered their mod points marking all my comments as "Troll." I'm not sure how talking about Tor traffic analysis & honey-potting is trolling! I must have hurt someone's feelings, probably by saying something anti-porn or mentioning that rape isn't funny. I wonder if this stalking spasm made the anonymous modder feel better?

Here's the message I got from the system:

This may or may not be caught in M2; I've been moderating regularly for a year and have yet to get a single message regarding a metamod on one of my moderations (which I do have turned on). So you should email the editors with pretty much what you posted in your journal. They might or might not do anything, but it is clearly moderation abuse.

I dropped a line to Rob and he says he routinely checks out stuff like that, so you had the right idea. Thanks! He also said to not expect to hear what if anything happens because of it, they will take care of it behind the scene.
