CurryCamel's Journal: Context in /.'s meta-moderation

So Slashdot wanted me to meta-moderate. But all the entries are completely void of context. This means funny or insightful replies are easily lost as incomprehensible mumbo-jumbo.

Perhaps this is what is sought after? If not - please, slashdot, add a possibility to see the parent of a comment in meta-moderation.

Completely Agree!

Completely agree! This highlights that you need to quote what you're referring to. But when meta-mod'ing, it would be really nice to be able to grab context.

This is one of the reasons that I don't meta-mod much any more.

I stopped metamodding when it stopped being about metamodding:
