No.

EDIT: Okay, still no, but Slashdot has a very different culture than over here. It's all news postings, there's a huge rush, most posts are shit and spam, the fact that some good stuff manages to rise to the top is a minor miracle. The truth is, we have a culture that encourages more thought per posts, a smaller number of active posters, and if you do write something crappy or unpopular, most people'll just reveal it anyway. On Slashdot, doing through all the comments on one post would take hours for a typical post, so you write something one mod downvoted cause he had some free ones to spare or he doesn't like you very much, no one sees it, and your Karma drops to below zero, so no one will ever see your post ever again.
