Kuro5hin (K5) ( ) was a collaborative discussion website. Articles are created and submitted by Kuro5hin's users and submitted to a queue for evaluation. Site members can vote for or against publishing an article and, once the article has reached a certain number of votes, it is then published to the site or deleted from the queue. The site has been described as "a free-for-all of news and opinion written by readers". Kuro5hin is powered by the Scoop collaborative system. Its motto is "Technology and Culture, from the Trenches". It was founded by Rusty Foster in December 1999, being inspired by Slashdot.〔 Kuro5hin's membership used to number in the tens of thousands,〔 but its popularity has declined significantly from its peak in the early 2000s. ==Overview== All content is generated and selected by the users themselves with the exception of site news, that are written by the site administrators. Registered users can submit stories to the ''submissions queue''. In the queue, users vote +1 FP (''front page''), +1, 0, or -1. If the story reaches a predetermined threshold score, it is posted to the front page or to the relevant section depending on the proportion of FP votes. If it fails to make the threshold, other factors (such as number of comments, type of comments, and their ratings) can still cause the story to be posted to section or front page. Otherwise, it is dropped.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Five rules for building a successful online community )〕 One feature of the story queue is ''edit mode'', in which a story is protected from voting for a period of time and the author can make changes. Comments can still be made on the story to suggest changes before voting begins. They are distinguished as being ''editorial'' or ''topical'' comments. The edit queue is now rarely used. A further section is known as the ''diaries''. They have no editing or moderation vetting and are essentially weblogs. They are the source of most of Kuro5hin's content by volume, though unlike the edited article sections, they are not widely syndicated. Other users may also comment on these diaries, similar to stories, however without the "Editorial" or "Topical" stipulation. The diary section is known as "The Ghetto" to the users there. It is often used by trolls to troll each other because they cannot get a story voted up. Some say this is what caused the downfall of Kuro5hin. Rusty once put a three diary a day limit to discourage abuse of the diary section. He has since lifted it recently. Kuro5hin is full of curse words and slang and insults. It is no longer a Slashdot clone, once it added the fiction section and other sections. The main activity is in the diary area. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kuro5hin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
