Elections 2010 LIVE Updates

Are your non-abusive posts disappearing?



There may be a rogue m0d2 in our midst.



Here's the problem (and how some abusive HP commenters are getting to be m0d2s and scrubbing comments they don't like):



The system can be scammed by setting up an account from which to intentionally offend and another to earn higher status by flagging it.



You create 2 or more 'sock' accounts here at HP. In one of the accounts, you post abusive comments, and in another you flag them until the HP system rewards you with a m0d2 status.



Then the trouble starts.



The only way to identify and remove the abusive m0d2 is by reporting it. The internal m0ds can track the URL back to the abuser.



Rogue m0d2s can be eliminated by reporting them. They attack after the internal m0ds have cleared a comment and posted it. When a comment vanishes, act quickly on reporting it. You'll be defending the entire thread, not to mention democracy, the first amendment, freedom, the American way, & all life continuing on the planet. ;-)
