Journal Journal: Jabber

Find me on jabber -- cerenyx [at] singnet [dot] com [dot] sg.

What limits my experimentation with other chat systems like AIM or Jabber is that my friends are all stuck on ICQ and MSN. So feel free to add me (amour et timor) to AIM or Jabber, for some dull, uninspiring conversation with someone probably half way across the world.

Journal Journal: Metamoderation Is A Painful Thing 2

It is disturbing how my efforts at taking part in the metamoderation system these days involves me reviewing multiple 'bad' moderations, presumably made by moderators without a modicum of cow sense.

Insightful articles worded slightly antagonistically, or otherwise strongly worded for emphasis, or expressing opinions counter to the /. mainstream opinion, are marked as 'Troll' or 'Flamebait'. Like, WTF? Which idiots are doing this?

Even browsing comments at -1, I come across perfectly decent opinions marked as Flamebait because they are: too short, or too strongly worded. This place is starting to resemble a Jesuit monastery.
