SlashTweaks Let YOU Micro-Edit Slashdot 257
Here at Slashdot, we watched as Twitter
discourse to just the perfect 140 characters, while
showed us that everyone's voice mattered equally when creating the
experience. We've taken the next step with SlashTweaks. Within each Slashdot
you will be presented with several opportunities to make micro-edits: ranging from factual errors or tonal shifts to simple typos.
Since Tweaks are just a single word, there is very little barrier to entry... you have no excuse not to participate. Stories will incorporate the highest rated
socially and mathematically guaranteeing the best story possible. Our highest
users can start new tweaks on individual words, while everyone else will be rating existing tweaks. Thanks for your participation and patience while we iterate on this, making sure that we are able to stay ahead of the
edge of webbovation!

Surely the editors have been using this feature all along?
Can we lose the links? (Score:5, Funny)
While we're at it, can we get an option to remove all the hyperlinks from summaries? None of us follow them anyway and they tend to distract from the flaming.

I can't believe this was modded [mod]. You're obviously another rabid [OS] fanboy worshiping at the feet of [Tech CEO]. The summary was horribly written, but what do you expect from [Slashdot Editor]? Why is this even filed under [Slashdot category, not 'Idle']? I should have been filed under [Slashdot category, use 'Idle']. While IANA[letter], I do know about [random subject] from reading [website] and you'll notice I have a [number from 1 to 100] Slashdot ID. What needs to be done is [personal opinion]. Of course, it'll never work because [conspiracy theory]. Finally, in [political organization] [country], [object] [verb] YOU!
Please mod this comment [cardinal direction]
