This bug is BAAACCCCKKK!!!!
I recently came across this anonymous first post. It was indeed the first post, its subject line was "FP", and its body was simply "First Post," all capitalized and in bold-italics. What was so strange was that it was modded 0, Offtopic. That meant that either it started at 1 (which is impossible for anonymous coward) or some stupid moderator actually modded it up. It turns out it was the later. It was modded +1, Informative before it was modded -1, Offtopic. What's more is that there was an anonymous reply. The poster said "well i'd rather have this than more of that GNAA crap."
But what astonishes me most is that anonymous first-post was actually at one time modded +1, Informative. Seriously, what is up with moderators these days?
Update: Finally this has been corrected, and it is now scored -1, Redundant. Still, redundant isn't quite the right way to describe it.
This is really just a test posting. I was going to write about something completely different, but then I noticed that all the options in the comments drop-down box are being shown! Is this a promotional thing? A special preview of subscriber options? A bug? Am I a subscriber now after giving slashdot $0 and some angry posts?
Well, I'm going to hit preview now, and then submit. If this works and it's submitted, tell me if you're getting this as well!
Update: The first time I previewed, the drop-down box only showed enabled or disabled. It was disabled by default. I left that as is and submitted. Then when I clicked on Edit to add this update, all options were there! I'm setting this to No Foes. I wonder if this will work!
