budgenator's Journal: moderation in moderation

I've noticed that the slashdot community has gotten a lot more eclectic over the years. in the old days all most everybody used some kind of *nix. Now we have a lot more Windows users, and some of the religious wars have shifted so I'm making a greater effort to be more moderate in moderation than before.

Also I've noticed that moderation is happening a lot quicker than before. I find it strange that I can go into a topic from the front page that list say 9 comments and find that some are already modded to +5 and most of the flakey stuff is already -1.
