that DKos isn't moderated by either moderators or by Kos. But people who hang around a lot eventually acquire "Trusted User" status, and can award zero rates to posts (non TU members used to be stuck with 1 to 4, but I think now it's only 4). And after enough troll ratings, a post automatically disappears from non TU view.
So "I fully expect to be troll-rated" means I expect other users will troll-rate me. But the thing is, you CAN'T troll-rate a diary (or you couldn't then) and Shanikka knew that. So she knew her diary would stay up, and it did. It was up there for ages, because it was massively recommended by:
