Yakko's Journal: This fucked-up place

Well. . . I've decided to spend a lazy afternoon finding out what others think about this moderator stuff. In reading the various articles and threads, I've become increasingly disappointed with /.'s leaders/brass/whoever-the-hell-runs-this-thing. Let's have a look:

This one questioning anonymous privacy. Fun Meter:5/10
jamie speaks as an editor. Not very comforting to a little peon like me. Fun Meter is now about 3/10
This comment doesn't give me a warm fuzzy
This thread seems to reinforce my perception that the moderate flag should be un-ticked.
This post brings up a lot of stuff I never knew about
Start at the top of the meta-discussion, if you want.

The brass carry on saying that if the current system were modified, it'd be more burdensome for me the reader. I find it burdensome to force myself to -1 and wade thru all the trash to see good posts. I used to pay no mind to this phenomenon, but now I'm keen to it.

I think I should turn comments off again. :o(

On a secondary note: I just realised that even journal entries are treated like articles, and become un-addable-to after a certain period. Kinda defeats the longevity of a journal entry, doesn't it?
