    Really I don't think racist comments belong here.

    Well, if you're trying to replace Slashdot, then they certainly do.

    This type of community is always going to attract trolls. The trick is to find ways to deal with the problem without making discussion worthless.

    This a thousand times! We need junk.

    We need it because it's part of the Slash culture, but also because AC is the only way for some to post about their employers, post interesting but controversial links and so on. Anonymity gives rise to bad posts, but without it everyone will behave so well, they will never manage to say the most interesting things.

    One idiot posting racist crap has 10 others comment on it, spraying around the same subject line even on +5 posts.
