Journal Chacham's Journal: Rant: Mod point silliness. 2
Mod points again, which i prefer to spend in JEs. Last time i had points, i could not find the moderate button. Now i see that of you have javascript turned on it is automatic.
- Automatic mod point application is amazingly stupid.
- What if i make a mistake?
- What if i see a post later that was unfairly modded down but now i have no points left?
- The FAQ says, "Do you still have any moderator points left? You only got 5..." I got 15.
- Why doesn't it mention the auto update somewhere?
- After moderating it reports how many points you have left. Messages end up conflicting.
Overall, the heralded new age of Slashdot is being designed by morons.
where's the button?! (Score:1)
I think I opted out of moderation a long time ago, but no amount of digging turns up such an option in my settings now. I wonder if it was a one way road? Anyhow, I guess it saved me from some of the new UI confusion.

As long as your Karma is "Excellent", you're ok.
I wonder if in some future code, those with >50 karma will have rollover errors. :)
