Journal Journal: Slashdot Moderation 1
Slashdot is almost as biased as CNN.
The Linux bias is disgustingly apparent.
I've noticed multiple of my posts marked as offtopic, when indeed they're not (or I'm replying to something else someone said to my original posting.) Yet, as I browse through parent threads, I see comments far more off-topic than my own. Quite often infact, and the worst part is, it's not uncommon that they're marked as Insightful. Example, in the 5.2 freebsd release thread, a few of them go off talking about SuSE, yet, it's marked Insightful. SuSE has nothing do to with FreeBSD, nor *BSD (it's in the BSD category) so why would they mod it up? Bias. If they're replying to something someone else said, and it's off-topic, than they shouldn't be modded up just like I've not been.
Way to go Slashdot, most of us know why there's an anti-slash.org, amongst others. Keep modding down intelligent well formed posts, and modding up the Linux trolls. *applause*
