MadChicken's Journal: Tedious moderators

I laughed when I saw the moderation results for my comment: here. +1 interesting -1 overrated +1 interesting -1 overrated -1 overrated.

The more I thought about it the less I laughed. Morons. Overrated? Did they notice that the article linked to was a SCANNED PICTURE of a magazine article? I went through the trouble of HAND-TYPING it in, because we all know what happens when an image gets linked to from Slashdot. In this case, no story left.

The problem? Knee-jerk moderators, modding down "article text" posts because they don't believe in that kinda thing. I'm certain they never even LOOKED at the article. I despise moderators with agendas.

Consider the topic: I would have scored big with mods if I posted "Pole position!" (there were 0 comments when I started). Instead, I did something for the good of the community and reaped its cluelessness.

Though the -1s receive my top-quality loathing, I have another pet peeve... "Interesting"? There was ZERO content, apart from my quick one-liner about "This may be necessary". I always understood stuff like that to be "Informative". Interesting would be my thoughts on why It was [sup|inf] erior to other games.

Again, the sole reason I posted it was for the sake of the community. To have an article to actually read. If I had been karma whoring, I would have deserved being modded down. Any basic investigation of the posted link would have revealed the difference.

Ok, I blew it by not inserting line breaks, but there are other punishments for that.
