Journal FortKnox's Journal: Wow.... Customer Service 101? 32
Further proof of why some of the slashdot team would get annihilated in the 'real world' job market:
Taco states, from this article:
Update For for the dupe. Not going well. Appreciate all the hate mail. Really encourages improvement.
We indirectly line your wallet (being the audience that clicks the links on the ads), so yell at us. Maturity + Customer Service all in one!
Wonder if Hemos will even care?

Actually, what struck me about that story was how few "Dupe! DUPE! Taco, you moron, it's a dupe!" comments there were. Usually they comprise 80 of the first 100 posts, and this is a pretty distinct and recently-posted story. I'm surprised Rob picked this one to complain.

If the dupe stories still get a lot of comments and views, then they certainly have a financial incentive not to pull them.
When dupes are just as active as regular stories, the editors don't have to bother finding a new story to put up.

Hey - lay off the barnyard animals - their blogs are usually pretty damn accurate.

90% of DUPE complainers are like that SNL computer guy- all elitist (I mean 31337157!!!!111eleventyone1) and this is their chance to SHINE by pointing out the flaws of a place that they choose to come to.
Why people bitch about dups (Score:2)
However, the fact that it is possible to report dups before they "go live", and that people do so, and STILL the dups hit the main page, just serves to underscore how little the Slashdot management cares to improve things.
They would be better served to remove the reporting link as it does not seem to have an

The front page? Bah. I am not really into coding, or getting that technically involved with my computers, which make up most of the users and articles. I use computers, I can maintain them, but I am a civil engineer. I work with concrete, steel, water, pipes, sewage, lakes, rain, etc. Anything that pops up on the front page that actually interests me,

Not really. Let's review slashdot history:
