I have a four-digit Slashdot ID and I don't remember friends and foes. Is it after my time, or is it just that I don't remember anything any more?

- kevstev 9y agoYou just don't remember anything anymore. IIRC, it was implemented around 2001. It was little more than a curiosity though, you may have just bypassed the little colored "pills" on comments, but aside from being angry about having foes, or happy about getting a new friend, nothing was really done with the feature.
- dotancohen 9y agoI think that friends' posts had an extra point of moderation calculated for your display, though that feature might not have been present in early incarnations.
- marcosdumay 9y agoThe point of it was letting you give free pass from the moderation for some people's comments always appearing for you, or hiding other people.
- sethrin 9y agoIt still exists if you have the original discussion system enabled. I never moved on to the javascript-based one.
