I think Slashdot's problem was that the moderation there wasn't powerful enough. The percentage of trolls reached a certain point, and then some fraction of non-troll users got disgusted enough to leave, so the percentage of trolls was now higher, and more non-troll users got disgusted and left...

That vicious circle destroyed the community. IMHO.

To this day, it rarely to never gives me the chance to moderate, even with excellent karma. That’s its biggest flaw imho, and a major reason why I rarely visit.
