Mother fucking Karma cap sucks.
I posted a comment for fellow lazy asses like myself that hate copying & pasting URL's because someone was too lazy to make a link. I didn't do it in a karma-whoring mode or anything - just made the link, and made it obvious from the subject so that people could click 2 links instead of having to select it with their mouse, copy it (if in Windows or MacOS), and then paste it in their URL bar, which is tedious under Mozilla/Linux because you have to hit Ctrl-L, then delete what's in the URL bar, then move the mouse up there and paste it. Well, it gets modded up like 7 times - all the while, I'm sitting at the fucking karma cap. But it gets modded down 5 times - once as "Redundant" and 4 times as "Overrated" - which it definitely was. So when it's all said and done, my karma is 49, which is just an ANNOYING number to be at. Sure, I could go moderate myself up (I'm almost always moderating), but that kinda defeats the purpose. I think you should only lose karma on a post if the overall moderation of the post is negative - ideally, that's how it would work, but because of timing and the karma cap, it can work the other way. Fucking lame. I hate Slashdot.
I hate kuro5hin too. It's become this place for pseudo-intellectuals to read their own posts and masturbate while fantasizing about their greatness. It drives me nuts. The Cellar is the only discussion board I can even stand to read anymore. Am I becoming more irritable, or is the internet becoming more irritating?
