Journal Henry V .009's Journal: Improving Slashdot Moderation 1

I have a few suggestions for how Slashdot should improve moderation:
  • Reduce the value of positive moderations for the earliest posts and increase the value of positive moderations made to later posts. The highest rated comments aren't generally the best comments. They're the first comments.

  • Remove the Flamebait moderation. I've never seen this one used correctly.
