Journal illuminata's Journal: Yet Another Example of Bad Moderations 10
Another day, another terrible moderation.
This post ended up getting modded as flamebait. I guess this is one of those examples of how opinions are sometimes considered wrong around here.
Man, as long as I keep posting here, I'll probably never run out of things to bitch about in my journal.

I'm just wondering if there should be some sort of "karma collective," where a bunch of screwed over people can help each other in that realm by pooling their karma and making sure that others in similar situations get helped out. Once somebody gets their karma level bumped up e

I probably would want it to accomplish two things. One would be to offset bad moderations that people make.

The other thing I would like accomplished is to make sure good mods are able to stay mods. Of cou

Greetings, I came here because I saw your sig and thought you were a troll.
So, there are a lot of trolls on Slashdot. Many of them make outlandish or dumb statements in their posts and sigs. Well, that's what trolls do, I guess. And your sig definitely caught me as particularly outlandish. But after reading your journal, now I realize you're serious. But that doesn't make me feel much better.
So, you had a post that seemed at first glance inflammatory, and then there was your sig. Naturally, I th

Now, on to the disputed post. Sure, the author might have intended trying to rally geeks to get involved. Yet, it still seemed like a low blow towards Windows just by tossing it in there.

You'll pardon me for not pointing at specifics. Doing so would likely result in a discussion of whether that particular post was indeed trolling or not. I even only mentioned one other post of yours in passing, and you saw the need to defend it. Though such a discussion might be valid, and perhaps desirable to you, I'm not interested in having it. I can't imagine much value coming of it. My point was more towards a t

I'm pretty quick to mod down people who post information that is redundant -- already posted by someone else, especially if it's common knowledge such as google caches or references to well known information. Or, worse, people who reiterate a blithe viewpoint already posted in the swarm of 100 or so comments pre-existing on the stor
