Journal wadiwood's Journal: metamoderating god

why is it that mod points are never there when you want them. Metamoderation came as a complete surprise, you get a random list of moderated posts and you get to evaluate the moderations of the posts, and I have to look up the context if I haven't seen the post or topic before...

And you only get three choices, fair, nothing, unfair or in the case of funny: funny or not funny. Sheesh. Dumb and dumber was funny to some but I hated it. Where is the maybe option. Or the mod up is good but I thought the comment was funny not interesting?

Maybe one day it will be more flexible?

I suppose this is what you get for one too many posts to cowboyneal querying the nature of moderations ie things modded flame when they're funny or off topic when they're directly on topic, but maybe the moderator didn't understand the contained tech info. If the post doesn't make any sense to you for *^#$(&@ sake leave it alone.

let someone who understands it, mod it.

And remember a troll is someone who posts something rude just to get a bite eg calls everyone who likes Linux, a smelly penguin.

Seriously, penguin colonies are very very smelly

Someone who posts a comment with a different opinion to yours is interesting. Viva diversity.

I still wonder how many mods that seem out of context/wrong are because people scrolled the selection after they selected and before they changed their cursor context. Oops.

moderating is such a burden. Where is a comment interesting enough for me to mod it. Is it ROTFL funny or just amusing?

Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.

Working...
