Moderation applies either −1 or +1 to the current rating, based on whether the comment is perceived as either "normal", "offtopic", "insightful", "redundant", "interesting", or "<a href="/wiki/Trolling" class="mw-redirect" title="Trolling">troll</a>" (among others).

As moderators read comments attached to articles, they click to moderate the comment, either up (+1) or down (−1). Moderators may choose to attach a particular descriptor to the comments as well, such as "normal", "offtopic", "<a href="/wiki/Flame_war" class="mw-redirect" title="Flame war">flamebait</a>", "<a href="/wiki/Troll_(computing)" class="mw-redirect" title="Troll (computing)">troll</a>", "redundant", "insightful", "interesting", "informative", "funny", "overrated", or "underrated", with each corresponding to a −1 or +1 rating. So a comment may be seen to have a rating of "+1 insightful" or "−1 troll".<a href="#cite_note-emergence-59">[59]</a> Comments are very rarely deleted, even if they contain hateful remarks.<a href="#cite_note-67">[67]</a><a href="#cite_note-68">[68]</a> Starting in August 2019 anonymous comments and postings have been disabled. Moderation points add to a user's rating, which is known as "<a href="/wiki/Karma" title="Karma">karma</a>" on Slashdot. Users with high "karma" are eligible to become moderators themselves. The system does not promote regular users as "moderators" and instead assigns five moderation points at a time to users based on the number of comments they have entered in the system – once a user's moderation points are used up, they can no longer moderate articles (though they can be assigned more moderation points at a later date).

Tags are written in all lowercase, with no spaces, and limited to 64 characters. For example, articles could be tagged as being about "security" or "mozilla". Some articles are tagged with longer tags, such as "whatcouldpossiblygowrong" (expressing the perception of catastrophic risk), "suddenoutbreakofcommonsense" (used when the community feels that the subject has finally figured out something obvious), "correlationnotcausation" (used when scientific articles lack direct evidence; see <a href="/wiki/Correlation_does_not_imply_causation" title="Correlation does not imply causation">correlation does not imply causation</a>), or "getyourasstomars" (commonly seen in articles about <a href="/wiki/Mars" title="Mars">Mars</a> or <a href="/wiki/Space_exploration" title="Space exploration">space exploration</a>).<a href="#cite_note-tags-72">[72]</a><a href="#cite_note-73">[73]</a> Slashdot has discontinued the use of tags, with all tags now saying 'story.' <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Culture">Culture</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Slashdot&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Culture">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Internet_meme" title="Internet meme">Internet meme</a> and <a href="/wiki/List_of_Internet_phenomena" title="List of Internet phenomena">List of Internet phenomena</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Tux.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/35/Tux.svg/170px-Tux.svg.png" decoding="async" width="170" height="202" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/35/Tux.svg/255px-Tux.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/35/Tux.svg/340px-Tux.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="512" data-file-height="607" /></a><figcaption>Tux, the mascot of Linux</figcaption></figure> As an online community with primarily user-generated content, many in-jokes and <a href="/wiki/Internet_meme" title="Internet meme">internet memes</a> have developed over the course of the site's history.
