I'm really confused about how the whole "mojo" thing works here at DKos. After a few years of commenting and diarying, you'd think TU status would be a given, but I've lost mine inexplicably. Every day I comment. Often I get a few 4s, and sometimes I get dozens. Once in a while, I post a diary. Just yesterday a single comment got 40-some-odd recommends. Why am I not a trusted user?
Has anyone else had this happen?
[Update: Hooray! I'm a TU again. Thanks, everybody!]
It seems so arbitrary and odd, but there must be a reason for it. Did an administrator remove the status? Did somebody futz around in the database and (accidentally or otherwise) zero out my hard-earned mojo? Is the algorithm so complex that even visiting regularly + getting recs + being a longtime user != TU status? What the heck's going on here?
It's not a big deal, of course, but it still stings a little not to be one of the kool kidz. Is that bad? Does it show that I really haven't matured that much since eighth grade?
I have also noticed other odd site behavior and wonder what others are experiencing.
Has the site ever done anything that made you go, "Jeez, that's weird?" If so, what?
