Uttles's Journal: More Slashdot Censorship

2002-01-22 15:21:59 Friend or Foe - Stay or Go? (askslashdot,slashdot) (rejected)

Once again, when you ask Slashdot a question that may have criticism of their site in it, they strike you right down. Damn Linux Geeks give normal computer nerds a bad name. All I wanted was a discussion by slashdot readers about their experiences with the Friend or Foe system. Guess that's too much to ask.

Hello, friend

It seems to me that you are close to get what you want, a discussion about the friend-foe system. I would ask you to make two things:

-put this journal on your sig. so more people can get here and share their thoughts.

-post your own experiences.

As for me, I really didn't like the idea to mark somebody as "Foe" (or be marked like foe myself) and possibly censor his opinions. What's the use of a public forum if you don't allow yourself to read opinions different from yours?

Then I started reading Journals. I find a lot of noise (Journals with "Hello world" and personal diaries that I don't find interesting). But sometimes there are well written, interesting articles. I mark those ase "friends" so I can see their journals more easily.

So you are a friend now, just don't expect to gain karma for this.
