Journal calebb's Journal: Modbombing? 1
Hmm...
Out of the last 4 comments I've posted to a story, all 4 were modded up to +5 within a few minutes. And 3 of them received -2 points each, anywhere from 4 - 24 hours later. In most cases, the infamous 'overrated' descriptor was used. Looks like I made someone mad! (doh!)
Comment 1
60% informative, 40% overrated
Comment 2
60% informative, 20% flamebait (??), 20% overrated
Comment 3 (the worse case!)
70% funny, 20% overrated, 10% redundant.
This one is the worse because, although the comment is corny, a lot of people do find it funny - so the modbombers keep modding it down, and the other slashdot readers keep modding it back up.
(FYI, funny does not increase your karma but overrated and redundant does decrease your karma)
But, last time I checked CmdrTaco's page, he was talking about his plans for revamping the moderation system.
