Journal nizo's Journal: Holy crap, I have mod points! 22
I can't even remember the last time I had mod points; it has been literally years and years. But today I see the moderation button. Maybe this is a subtle way to keep me from posting my noxious drivel in the main threads?
I have them, too. (Score:2)

If I was on my other computer, I'd take a look inside Slash and check this out. Unfortunately, I'm on my Windows machine, which is pretty much only equipped for entertainment.
Slash is actually kind of cool to read through. It's got a kind of allure to it like the Linux kernel, only it's also understandable by mere mortals.

Me too. Maybe they bumped up the chance based on how long you've been posting without too high a ratio of downmods?
So long as they don't post too many Global Warming threads, I probably have a shot, but whenever they do one of those I foolishly talk about the science and get downmodded by the flat earthers that seem to predominate nowadays.

Weird thing about the mods is I usually get modded up, even if just "funny", unless it's a thread about religion, then it's hit or miss. This is my 3rd or 4th time with mod points since I posed a JE about it a few weeks ago.

I haven't had mod points in a long, long time. I guess I am still in slashdot purgatory for crimes of the past (I do know exactly what I did to lose the privilege, but it seems like the punishment has been rather stiff).

On the other front, I'm playing tag right now, but I will hopefully know something this week.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
As for high-quality comments, I am not so sure about that. What I *really* did was to upmod someone that was on the frowny-face list.

Yup, that was the key to moderation purgatory (or was that moderation limbo?) In either case, I, too, have been blinded for the past several years. Emails to a certain commander about the issue have always gone unanswered by our /. overlords.
I haven't yet received mod points, but here's to hoping that they actually grew up and beyond their childish grudges.

At one point in time, I used to metamod every chance I got. And of all the things I heard directly from the Taco's mouth [slashdot.org], the most truthful opinion he claimed to hold seems to be that people don't metamod enough. But that was a year and a half ago, and obviously not everything on that list has come to pass. That "trusted mod" idea (which I completely forgot about until I just looked) may have actually been implemented (silently), but there's no way of telling for sure, unless you can find a number of othe
