sorry - this is only funny if you are quite familiar with slashdot.org, 
the largest techno/linux/geek list/board/blog around.

if you have an account on slashdot.org, you will be invited to moderate 
or to meta-moderate;

moderators assign various moderations to individual posts; the sum of 
these moderations gives each post a score, which in turn drives which 
comments get displayed, and which ones get  filtered.

in addition, there is a meta-moderation process, where previous 
moderations get marked as fair or unfair. So if a moderator screws up, 
it decreases their chances to be invited as moderator again.

so just to make sure there is no misunderstanding, my comment was 
intended to be a light-hearted joke.
