Journal mysticgoat's Journal: Re: More on evolving slashdot usage
It has been about 13 months since my last entry. Pro'ly time for an update.
Karma remains "excellent" throughout this period. I'm continuing to metamoderate once or twice each day. I haven't had moderation privileges at all during this period; I believe I was last a moderator about 18 months ago. I wonder what's up with that?
For a while, it seemed like
Last year I was thinking the average age of
I'm currently reading at the 2+ level, but awarding extra points to posts labelled "insightful" or "interesting". This is working out pretty well. I'd like it if
1+ insightful
2- overrated
1+ funny
ends up as 4+?? At least that kind of thing appears to be happening.
I'm still pretty harsh about what's not really funny. I'm also getting harsh about what is not really flamebait, trolling, off topic, or redundant. I guess I'm getting more harsh about negative moderations.
In general Slashdot remains a useful data stream for me: often enough it is genuinely informative in some way. I am spending a lot less time with it though. I'm not sure whether that is because more of it is of less interest to me now, or because I'm getting better at filtering out the stuff that doesn't interest me.
That's about it for the year. Until the next post, whenever.
