Journal Trolling4Dollars's Journal: Paranoia 8

Journal by Trolling4Dollars

I think someone who works at Slashdot actually has it in for me. Not that I really care that much, but yesterday, I had "Excellent" karma. I can easily rebuild this *if* I can ever post again like a normal reader. Today, I posted from a friend's subnet and found that I now have "Good" karma. It appears I've been knocked down a peg even though I haven't had any downmods today. Someone doesn't like me. I'm sure of it. Maybe some reader who has befriended one of the editors? Who knows. But, there is definitely some weirdness going on. Take a look at my posting history for yourself and you will see that nearly all of my recent posts are at +2. That combined with "Excellent" karma doesn't get you a downgraded in one day with *NO* downmods. What would you think if you were in my position? So ther real question is... why? As other readers have pointed out over time, I'm "harmless" or at worst "retarded". I'm certainly not a troll as I only play one on /. occasionally. Maybe this is a little "cracking down" from the Taco squad since the inception of the largely "fair and balanced" politics.slashdot.org? Tell me about your childhood.

As a sidenote. I DID post a silly piece in the discussion about the new Star Wars DVD Box Set today. Look it up in my posting history as I'm too lazy to link it right now. I expected this to get modded to death down to a -1 Troll, but it got nothing. I fully expected that was why my karma was at "Good". But, is it really that horrible? I don't think so.

Update: OK... I just found one of my posts today was modded down as "Overrated -1". Maybe that was the last straw? Perhaps it's my current SIG? A little too distasteful for some people?

  • Well, it offends me. That punctuation is shocking.

  • I used to get mod points on a regular basis; I haven't seen any for months now. I think perhaps I have pissed off someone? This is just like some kind of weird religion, where I get to guess if God hates me or not, when most likely he couldn't give a rats ass one way or the other.
    • Dude, I had the same with my account. I used to get mod points, then no more, but I'd still get meta mod points. Nothing in the docs says that you can lose meta mod points, but I lost those long ago too. I still have excellent karma, but I don't give a damn. I'm retiring this account soon and starting a new one as soon as I think of a good handle.
    • Sometime I can't get rid of my mod points fast enough. I get mod points very frequently. Heck. I got more while I was typing this post.
  • Since you are now "good" do you get mod points faster? I am wondering because when I went from good to excelent they rate of getting them slowed down. I think I am on the side rather than top of the curve /. uses to grant them. If that's true I might actually want some bad mods to send me back to good.
