JDWTopGuy's Journal: What the hell?

Due to excessive bad posting from this IP or Subnet, comment posting has temporarily been disabled. If it's you, consider this a chance to sit in the timeout corner . If it's someone else, this is a chance to hunt them down. If you think this is unfair, please email [e-mail] with your MD5'd IPID and SubnetID, which are "b83b1e19852d08887af15e8a758XXXXX" and "378edad33953e09027589d8dd99XXXXX" and (optionally, but preferably) your IP number "66.92.132.XXX" and your username "JDWTopGuy".

Okay, what the hell is this? I've only posted 8 comments in the last two months, and only 3 recieved negative net moderation.

Any comments?

I tried emailing them once

All I got was something about how someone else on the same subnet was trolling Slashdot. I think that a certain number of negative mods triggers the ban, regardless of the net moderation. Also possible is that there is a bug in their code.

There's a fair chance that if you point this fact out to them, they'll fire back with some larger number of down-mods they pulled out of their asses. Pointing them to /~$NAME/ won't do anything, either; they'll just ignore it. Been there, done that, won't resubscribe when it runs out.

That sucks.

I say we start "SlashRight" or some such thing.

From what I saw of Kuro5-whatsit, it's extremely whacked-out liberal. Eww.

Same here.

So I quit slashdot for a month. I also installed Privoxy so slashdot doesn't make any more Ad revenue from me.

Next time I'll probably just quit forever, using my account as an actual troll account. No point actually posting useful stuff if that just gets you banned. May as well be banned for a reason!

If enough users get pissed off, slashdot won't be anything. Comments make slashdot.

I emailed them back, and they just send boilerplate bullshit replies. It's like talking to eBay support, except they to

Proxy?

Are you on a proxy?

Nope. BTW I haven't had any problems since.
