redtoade's Journal: Moderation stinks

The original story is posted at 10:12AM.

My post was at 10:23AM.

Oh my God! It got moderated down to "Redundant!"

What the hell has happened to Slashdot? Don't people even read the threads anymore?

It had been moderated up to 5 by noon (Thanks all.) I had had six replies that had expanded the idea. It was an interesting thread, lots of people were reading and discussing. One of the replies (that had expanded the story line so that those who hadn't seen the episode would know what the hell we were talking about) was also moderated up to 5.

Then some complete idiot moderates it back down as redundant. That kind of stupidity actually makes my head hurt. It was the first post! All of the other posts were based on THIS ONE!

By definition, if it's the first story on the subject, evokes a few responses all along the same line of thinking which themselves also get moderated... and it does not simply repeat a theme from the original story... it can't possibly be fucking redundant!

This is what happens when moron newbies get to moderate. They have their personal settings set so that threads aren't nested properly, and they see posts completely out of order.

Slashdot stinks now.
