Journal FortKnox's Journal: Slashdot Suggestions! 28
OK, since the slashdot "Code Change" article is already full of garbage, how about we write our suggestions for code changes here, and see if we can get some authors/slashcoders to read it (its happened before).
Try to make as many suggestions as possible, and put this link (which is a link to this journal entry) into your .sigs to get as much attention as possible!
BTW - a hint for the URL. Since the .sig is limited by size including and A HREF's you put in, use 'journal.pl?op=display&id=3391&uid=169099' without the 'http://slashdot.org/' to save some space.

Author Moderations (Score:2)
Mark author moderations as such. Let us know when we've offended an author, or if an author knows we have a good post.
If they get unlimited mod points, the only way to balance the moderation system (which is entirely unbalanced, due to the whole point of community moderation)is to restrict it by allowing users to see what is author moderated.

That's not something in a "post" but it is in the journal that started this whole thing, you don't find this a tad redundant?

Yes, what you posted is redundant, but again, not worth wasting mod points on.
And in some ways, this entire journal article is redundant, but I don't think you should waste ANY mod points in a journal. With rare exceptions there are few enough posts to not need moderation. Kinda like the majority of threads that don't wind up on the front page.
But you have sort of hit on an interesting point: front page moderation. I haven't been there enough, but doesn't k5 have something like this? Certainly, it would be nice to mark some of those repeat stories 'redundant'.

2) Maybe this feature is in already and I just haven't seen it but... I'd like to get Message'd when a comment of mine that's been marked down is meta-modded as 'Unfair'. And here's a question.. what *exactly* happens when a comment is meta-modded? I've got a vague idea that moderators who have been meta-modded as 'Unfair' too many times are restricted from modding any more... but does the comment's karma level get corrected?
3) I'll agree, I would like to know when an editor has modded my comment. I like this site - I really do. I enjoy participating in the discussions and the moderations, and I'd hate to think I'd been blacklisted because I accidentally cheesed off an editor at some point without knowing it.

That's interesting, I wonder what happens to them. I suppose an editor or some automated process could strip 'em of moderator capabilities. Or, you could just make sure that people who appear to be abusers have their comments pushed to the top of the metamod queue and hope you don't have a bunch of crack-smoking metamoderators.

Bah! Shows what I know. I just noticed that there's already an option under messaging for 'Metamoderation Results' -- I've even got it set for Web already. Dammit, Slashcode, you're always one step ahead of me!

Ahh, that explains a lot. In that case, I reassert my original statement -- I'd like a message when a comment I post gets a metamod done to it.

Can we make the negative modifiers move a comment below -1? While I've always browsed /. at -5 (thanks to the editcomm.pl hack) I really would like to move Klerck down to -6 so I don't have to see his fucking random number posts.

Perhaps because I enjoy a well-crafted troll rather than a pointless crapflood? Seeing as this account was trolling when you were shitting your pants and waiting for Mommy to clean it up, I don't think your opinion is worth much.

Update 17:45 GMT by J: We covered the Indianapolis story previously in July 2000, October 2000, and March 2001... [as in this story [slashdot.org]]
And preferably standardized.
What if at the end of the submission there is a link such as:
Update the [link]following[link] stories.
And the link would link to a page of similar format to the "Older Stuff" (aka Search) listing only the applicable stories. This listing would be based from stories supplied by the editor, and should the editor miss some stories (as if often pointed out in submissions) this listing could be updated by any editor as needed.
I don't really see the need for the time-stamp-based (or which editor did what thing) update type thing to this list as it's just a list of related submissions on

How about if a foe responds to a comment I made I have the option of not receiving one of those system messages about it? Since I don't like the person and have the option already to lower foe scores considerably why not more ability to ignore them?
