I made the Fantasy Karma Whore team.

I’m so excited. For being an absolute karma whore on Slashdot (I’m not ashamed to admit it), I’ve been made an available team member on Fantasy Karma Whore. The idea is for people to target me as a person to moderate down, because my posts are so often ranked as among the highest-quality posts on Slashdot. The fact is that I quite frequently post what people want to read. (Though I’ve gotten better about that in the past few months — the amusement has worn off.)


The best part is that I’m worth 20 points, on the 0-30 point scale. Not a whole lot of people are worth that much.


So, the downside is that my karma’s gonna go down. But so what? I got up to 150 this week — what more could a man want? Personally, I think it’s great that these folks are doing this. It’s funny to see a community so evolved that its members take matters into their own hands.


I’m just proud to be a team member!
