Journal Journal: Moderation
I've been getting moderator access for some time now and I have a bone to pick with some posters:
1. Anonymous Cowards - I use the filter that gives anyone who doesn't use their login or doesn't have a login a -2 to the score I see. If you can't stand behind what you say, don't say it. (Yes, there are extenuating circumstances - your hard drive died and you are using a friend's comptuer and don't want to log them out, etc.) - but if you have something intelligent to say, I want to hear it from you.
2. Bashing Microsoft - I'm not a huge fan of everything Microsoft has done, but I bought a copy of Windows XP and run that as my primary OS. If I had a second computer I would install a flavor of Linux and learn that as a primary desktop environment, but I don't. If you use M$, Winblows, or another derogatory term, I consider that Troll/Flamebait. You could be trying to make a valid point about how something in Windows works really well, but if you bash MS, you're lowering your standards and I don't want to see that.
3. Morons - Why the hell do people try to get First Posts? Why do you waste your time just to have someone else mod you Offtopic and you sink to -1, behind most people's filters. Get a life.
4. Flaming - Post calmly and intelligently. I'll skip the comment if it's in all caps. I'll skip the comment if it is all one paragraph on how Product X is better than Product Y. Tell me why something is better and I'll even mod you up!
If you have a problem with my views, let me know. My email address is somewhere around here.
