How Do You Define A Friend Or Foe On Slashdot?
Friends and foes enhance the fun of Slashdot by giving you allies and rivals who can echo or challenge your ideas and opinions. Whether you thrive on rounding up like-minded individuals, enjoy a spirited bout of cyberspace sparring or relish a balance of the two, use the Friend or Foe feature to add some zest to your Slashdot experience. Begin at Slashdot’s homepage (see Resources below). Log on to your account by entering your username and password in the indicated fields. Enter the name of the user you want to define as a friend or foe in the “Search” field, or click the hypertext link of his/her username accompanying any of the postings the user has made.

It will accompany any postings that the user has made and will also appear on that user’s homepage, which you can reach by clicking on the username hyperlink as indicated in Step 2
