davidsyes's Journal: Funny as hell... 31 fans and 0 friends (of course) ...

And ZEEEERO foes? This is funny, because IIRC, in less than 1 month i somehow accumulated 31 fans (I'll leave nameless (or, does /. allow logged-in users to see my friends/fans/foes? I don't recall), as some probably are real, many probably stalkers, and the system listed them as fans when they may have self-ascribed as foes)... But, in any case, only two, possibly three replied to me directly AS a quasi-fan more than one time.

Wasn't there a time when /. code was buggy and allowed users permanently high/good karma? Sorta like Half Life back in the 90's? /. needs to graft some VisualAnalytics contact mapping onto /. so anonymous moderators are unhooded. But, no, it might diminish the aura of the American voting privacy protection blah blah blah...

I wonder whether there is for those with "Terrible Karma" a journal entry limit...

Strange, how it feels "Star Chamber" (movie)-like, yet people can write in and suggest borderline illegal things, joke about murder, link to or suggest porn, ways of defeating one's workplace sysadmin, and so on. Yet profanity and uncivil flame-engagement can be MY undoing because i'm flaming one-way because some digitally-masked assailants can't be troubled to identify themselves and risk their own integrity and karma...

Update:

I see i have 31 fans, but earlier i somehow missed noticing "Freaks". I have 19 of those, orange-dotted listings.... Are they uuber-enemies by another flag?

here's a clue for you

your freaks are people who added you to their foes list. you have no friends and no foes because you haven't added any people to those lists.
