"New Jersey's governor Christie has decided that all new motor vehicles must be sold through middlemen. This blocks Tesla from directly selling cars, without traditional car sellers. Although, New Jersey decided so this week, they are in good company: 48 states in the US ban or restrict direct car sales."

    For the record (and I'm not the same Coward) I temporarily thought a post of mine was modded away on the recent DVDFab thread because I asked about alternative ripping software. (Figured it was verboten to ask or something.)

    It later became evident that the post was there, but something weird about Soylent/slashcode's display system keeps it from appearing on browser refreshes. So I ended up mistakenly double posting.

    Not even close to the same thing as the "rumor monger" here, but I just wanted to mention that SN's moderation policy / openness was not obvious to me. I'm sure it's in a ToS somewhere. :)

    I doubt it. I think we're still writing the ToS, for the site as well as our other services. I think it is interesting that no one cares if we delete a wiki spam page or calls it "censorship."

    Essentially, moderation on the site is the responsibility of users, not the staff. I don't even moderate anymore because I end up undoing it once I inevitably post in a thread. But even when I did moderate, I got the same 10 points everyone else got. I tend to browse at -1, and newest comments first (ignore threads), so I see almost every post.

    We keep the headlines and stories (anything on the front page) SFW. Comments are up to the community as a whole to decide what is appropriate, and moderate accordingly.

    Other venues have different means of moderation, and we do need to make those public. As soon as they are written we will open up for preview and comment. Thanks for reading! ~mattie_p
