Seriously??

Tightening the adjuster or tightening the cable tension??

Well ... with right hand threads, loosening the adjuster (screwing it out of the stop ... any stop) will tighten the cable tension.

I appologize if this sounds a little blunt but ... you couldn't figure this out on your own??

I mean while riding and the RD needs tweeked a little ... sometimes it's hard to tell which way it needs tweeked. So I end tweeking it a little in one direction. If it get's better, OK. If it gets worse ... I turn it back and then a little more. Invariably, I always turn it the wrong way the first time ... so ... remembering which way is "tightening" becomes moot anyway.
