It was always like that. When it started many of us were much, much younger. I was 18! It was always a troll magnet, hell the GNAA started there.<p>Unfortunately for Slashdot, most of us have grown up while it doesn&#x27;t seem to have. I can&#x27;t really see how you can change that culture, all I can think is you would have to do it very, very carefully and slowly.<p>That said, slashdot is in a better state than SourceForge.
