Journal SharpFang's Journal: What about second metamoderation? 1

This post is a clear and stupid flamebait, but it got me thinking. Classic M2 can do little. I can't hope Taco will implement this - but it can be done. Second class metamoderation- "M2b". No real impact, but could show what people really think and somehow organise it... Everyone can do it.

Rules:
Post as AC as comment to moderated message.
Title: M2b [metamoderated m1] [your M2b].
Body: Link to this journal entry or any other M2b resource.
Optionally your account name (or link) if you don't like anonymity.

Possible alternate metamoderations:
-1 Wrong.
Applicable only to "same value" metamoderations, i.e. -1 redundant instead of -1 troll or +1 Funny instead of +1 Insightful. (NOT -1 Flamebait instead of +1 Insightful!)

-1 Boring.
Applicable to moderating boring stories as Interesting, dull comments up etc. Don't use on Trolls. (use "Troll" instead)

-1 Insightless,
-1 Crack.
When a troll gets modded up as informative, when an interesting story gets modded down etc. Choose Insightless or Crack depending on how obviously wrong the moderation is. (In case of Insightless you might explain, why. In case of Crack - don't you dare!)

-1 Dundant.
Applied to "-1 Redundant" which is not.

+1 Troll,
-1 Troll.
Feel free to decide if the troll was good or bad. Note you moderate the moderation, not the troll, so -1 goes to a good troll modded "-1", +1 to a bad one.

+1 Brave.
Moderation that could easily get M2ed "unfair" just because of "non-standard" thinking. Unpopular (but right) political beliefs modded up, modding up pro-microsoft stories, modding down Linux praising etc. For trolls, use +1/-1 Troll instead.

+1 Funny.
When the post by itself isn't funny, but combined with the moderation is. Like post about removing the cooler from Athlon modded as flamebait or one praising someone's penis length as overrated.

+1 Original,
+1 Scary.
"Who would think to moderate this post That way?". Similar to Wrong, just positive. "Scary" in case the post trying to make a joke, accidentially stated a bad truth and moderator just pointed it out.

i Imaginary.
Apply at will. You may use "j" or "sqrt(-1)" if you prefer.

You are free to use other numbers and combine moderations if you feel like this, like:
M2b [+1 Insightful] [-1 Crack +2 Funny]

If you want to apply other metamoderations, post them as comments to this entry please.
