damn_registrars's Journal: Worst. Mod-bomb. Ever.

As my karma remains excellent. I suspect one of my freaks may have picked up mod points and decided to use them to try to attack my karma by moderating down some of my journal entry replies. Perhaps they thought this would be accentuated by moderating down my journal entry replies in my own journal entries?

Two ways to never get mod points:

• have bad karma
• Post a lot of (too many?) comments.

I'm in the second group; I'm an opinionated s.o.b. and I read fast.

I've had my share of modbombs; the week before last they tried their damndest to wreck my karma. Still excellent, the bombers are epic failures.

I wish they'd do two things -- not let journals be moderated, and bring back meaningful metamoderation. I'm invited to metamoderate at least daily and usually more often, but I

my experience:

i lurked.

i created an account, began posting and journaling

suddenly, mod points rained from the heavens

i used them

the rain stopped. the land became parched. even the witchdoctors concluded that the rains would never come again
