this is a reason slashdot's metamoderation was such a great idea, which has, oddly, never seen any further development.

Possibly because it is very strongly anti-gamification.

This while the HN/Reddit "karma" score is a very much a e-peen score board.

What is the problem in gamifying Slashdot? You can be "funny lvl 42" and "insightful lvl 8" for example.

I miss the ability to set your own scores so you could set Funny to score -1. Or ""Insightful"".
