Journal Jimmy_Slimmy's Journal: In moderation on moderating. 10

Journal by Jimmy_Slimmy
I had no idea that moderating can be so fun.  Wow!  Someday I will grow up, but for now the possibilities are endless.  First, read:

and then let your inner Trickster tell you how to right the wrongs of others and other nefarious hilarious deeds.

  • Congratulations. You popped your cherry!

    • This one, yes.  Years ago I wrote a shopping cart in perl for a client.  And a CMS for another client.  Seems like I am always behind the curve (here) or ahead of the curve (there), in just the wrong way.

      Can I have a cigarette?

    I wish they hadn't ruined metamoderation.

    • Oh, geez.  OK, what is this meta moderation you speak of?

      Heh.  And what about meta**2 moderation?  And meta**x moderation**y ?

      (Just kidding!) (Not really.)  (Shut up.)  (No.)

    • I used to metamoderate almost everyday before they required javascript to be turned on. So then once I turned Javascript on (for that one instance to try and help out) I still couldn't metamoderate because I needed to turn Javascript on for Slashdot's "third party" servers. FTW :\

      • *Note:

        FTW :\

        should be "WTF :\". My apologies for being dyslexic. I don't want to sound like a bigot, but all these letters look the same to me.

          "For The World" (or alternately, "Fuck The World")

          headline on a newspaper in one of the Police Squad movies: "Dyslexia for cure found"

    • Is javascript what you mean when you say meta-moderation is ruined, or are there also other reasons?

      I can grok it if it is the javascript, but maybe there is more.

        It used to be that you were given a list of moderated comments, and you would moderate the moderation as "fair" or "unfair", or in the case of a funny mod, "funny" or "not funny". If a moderator was labeled "unfair" too many times, he wouldn't get any more mod points.

        Now it's pretty much meaningless, you're more or less just moderating old posts.

        • Thanks for the info!

          I see the point, and might contribute my time to, the former.  But the latter makes little sense.  I wonder if someone lost their mind?
