This morning I decided I was going to do a study on the amount of hate posting on slashdot, because many stories comments were dominated by posts that would be illegal in much of the world.
I'll admit that being the target of up to 100 anonymous hate posts a day (often before I had even read the story), along with the constant nazi, misogynist, anti Semitic, anti Muslim, anti immigrant, anti non-white ... it really piqued my curiosity as to what the actual numerical stats were.
Last night I pointed out that slashdot is being kept low in search engines rankings in part because of the hate posts, but when I started searching today's stories, instead of a couple of dozen attacks on me by the Hosts File troll, there was nothing.
What there was, was people complaining that slashdot wouldn't let them post anonymously.
Slashdot just banned anonymous posts
