Journal bmac's Journal: Another slashdot effect
Slashdot proves everyday that the more people are gathered in a public forum, the lower the quality of majority opinion.
Futher, it is quite possible that a threshold has been reached and exceeded which all but guarantees 99% worthlessness.
The only solution that comes to mind is to have a selection process to allow posting. Of course, that opens up a whole other can of worms (multiple cans, really) that can take worthlessness to a whole *other* level.
For now, it's just "let everyone in and sift for the worthy pieces". But, man, it's getting hard to find quality opinion here.
