Be sure to read my standard disclaimer if this is a reply.

I downloaded Slash 2.2.6 and took a quick gander at Slash.pm.

I quit reading when I got to this:


# this is the worst damned warning ever, so SHUT UP ALREADY!
$SIG{__WARN__} = sub { warn @_ unless $_[0] =~ /Use of uninitialized v
+alue/ };

Talk to pudge about that one. He's of the opinion that manually initializing all of your potentially interpolatable variables to the empty string is a hassle. I see his point; most of the warnings we see in embedded code in Everything are that exact message.

If you really want to complain about something, read the metamoderation code.

Slash 2 may be cleaner than Slash 1 design-wise but it still does math worse than I do. Have you ever actually counted the number of comments that get displayed when you change from threshold to threshold on Slashdot? It rarely, if ever, matches the number displayed in the select box. I've also had instances of highly moderated replies being incorrectly reparented.

Grant me the wisdom to shut my mouth when I don't know what I'm talking about.

And you've filed a bug report and sent in a patch right?
