Trolls vs. Sysops...
by Decius at 11:12 am EST, Nov 1, 2003

] let me just say that, as a slashdot troll, i have a
] firewall which allows me to dynamically modify my o/s
] fingerprint, a highly adaptive cookie manager/poisoner
] that can decode many cookies in realtime (stop using
] urlencode!), a browser plugin that lets me modify my
] entire http header including user agent, a
] database-driven transparent proxy tracker which harvests
] new proxies 24/7, scripts to generate free email accounts
] by the 100's, good web scripting skills, and on a good
] day around 500 moderation points on slashdot from over
] 1,000 monitored accounts.

This is a really great discussion between a troll and a sysop. It really speaks to the fact that governance of an internet community is a very complex problem that shares many of the social dynamics of governance of a IRL community.

Just wanted to point out this post is still active. More good comments along those lines. Jamie McCarthy from over at Slashdot even popped in to responded directly to the troll's claims.

Whenever I see internet community governance being discussed on blogs, I get a serious BBS deja vu..


There are redundant posts not displayed in this view from the following users: Rattle, Lost, Possum, norfzorf.
