Journal Gadzinka's Journal: Modbombs away! 6
So I was modbombed for the first time
I must say it was quite funny. Basically I wrote about possibility, that one's moderation down to -1 may also mean, that poster writes things unpopular on slashdot. In this case I meant about "unamerican" ideas, but it happened to me also e.g. on apple or bsd
And guess what? I finally received comment moderation details and here they are:
- Offtopic -3
- Flamebait -1
- Overrated -2
- Troll -1
- Informative +1
- Interesting +1
- Underrated +2
- Insightful +3
Do those people have nothing better to do?
Mod-bombing (Score:2)
Mod-bombing is when someone decides that they hate you, and get all their friends together with mod points to mod you down.
When I was mod bombed, various comments of mine (all over the place) were modded down by over 20 points. My Karma fell from excellent to good, and my subnet was banned off Slashdot. I couldn't post for a while, and I complained to the editors - at which point, they modded up a few of the posts and I could post again - after a good week.

What's the deal with "overrated" then? (Score:2)

Everytime I've been modbombed (four times so far, I think), my comments have been modded as overrated. If one comment gets to you, imagine having over 20 of your comments being modded -1 ov
