I read the Slashdot FAQ on the Friend/Foe system, but I still don't understand it. Is the idea just that it lets you filter a comment thread to emphasize comments written by people you're interested in (friends)? Does it hide the comments of foes?
- snerbles 9y agoSlashdot's score weighting is configurable. You could even add a positive score offset to foes.
- digi_owl 9y agoThe impression i have is that it gives fores a personal -1 on their comment score. So unless they get some +1s from others, or you have set /. to show everything, they will vanish below the breakpoint. Note though that anyone can look up who has them flagged as foe on /..
- maxerickson 9y agoYes, alter the displayed scoring. Also based on the 2nd degree information, friends of friends and such. I would use it behind the scenes to look for bad accounts too. Someone with lots of foes would be a candidate for some silent moderation.
