1. No word from him? Hmmm... I hope he turns up.

We just lost our friend, ally, and wise one, The Magistrate. I'm really not in any mood to lose anybody else right now.

[LeftInTX]

2. He's FFR. Maybe he will be back after the election. Too many hot headed posts that were removed.

I liked him too, but he seemed to bother other posters because he was "well connected".

He's still active on twitter.

[LeftInTX]

10. Flagged For Review....

6. FFR?

I should know that one, but I'm drawing a blank.

[LeftInTX]

8. Flagged For Review...stuck in purgatory...

[CoopersDad]

9. PPR? Posting Privileges Removed?

[calimary]

12. Ahhh, CoopersDad and LeftInTX!

Thanks for the answers. Hey, I appreciate the SWIFT responses! THANKS to BOTH of you! At least I have a clue or two now.

18. FFR vs. PPR

FFR - Flagged for Review - happens automatically when 5 or more posts are removed in a 90 day period. I think admins sometimes put people on that status too if they choose to. They can't post while on FFR status. It's conceptually a temporary thing, but I see profiles that have been FFR'd for years. I've also seen people restored to Active status after being FFR'd.

PPR - Posting Privileges Revoked - I think of this as being final, I don't know anyone that has talked their way back to Active status from a PPR.

Disclaimer - I'm not an expert, and have no powers other than what's on my "powers" button (I can self-delete my own post and I can add any of my posts to my journal. IOW no power over others).

I do take notes on things I learned from the old and long-gone "Ask The Administrators" forum and recently the "DU Community Help" forum for example - this thread for example is full of things I didn't know .

15. thanks for the link nt

[DenaliDemocrat]

24. Again?

He just got restored about a month ago.

[RandiFan1290]

26. and he went right back to breaking TOS. nt

[DenaliDemocrat]

31. Ouch!

Eom

[Silent Type]

3. Totally agree. Rules don't allow one to say more.

[Scrivener7]

35. But, on the other hand, the rules aren't hard to follow.

Especially after one has already gotten one reprieve.

[pattyloutwo]

4. I appreciated

his thoughtful posts during the time that there was pressure for Biden to step down. There wasn’t a lot of wriggle room for too much dialogue then

[dpibel]

16. Well, he thought a lot!

No doubt about that.

[RidinWithHarris]

17. Thoughtful was against the rules at that time n/t

[Prairie Gates]

7. ...

[Aepps22]

11. It is what it is.

He was given a second chance after Joe dropped out and he couldn’t keep it together. It is what it is.

[canetoad]

13. Me too

He might even be reading this.

[edhopper]

14. Mee too

We had our squabbles. But he is an engaged and active Democrat.

[OnDoutside]

19. Yeah that's where I am too.

I hope he gets back at some point.

[NNadir]

20. Part of our Brooklyn culture, we're um, um, um...

...a little, shall we say, edgy.

I only lived in Brooklyn the first two years of my life, but Brooklyn never left me because Brooklyn never left my father.

Been there, done that...

I'm trying to. um, "get better."

I liked Brooklynite generally, not always, but generally. I hadn't noticed he was gone, but now that you mention it, I often liked his stuff.

[bucolic_frolic]

28. Similar. Brooklyn attitude leaves a mark

Self centered, self serving

[SocialDemocrat61]

38. As a life long resident of Brooklyn NY

I resemble that remark.

[LeftInTX]

21. I know what happened. He posted an article. It was paywalled.

Someone moaned about the paywall.
He responded: "I think people should pay for media You’ll have to find the extract sufficient.". He appeared out of touch and tone deaf.

People got mad because he has money and is perceived as uppity and was compared to a Republican.

He got piled on.
He had posts removed in the thread

He also had been "pushing the envelope" in several other posts.

22. He was also alert stalked prior to the time Biden dropped out.

He was posting about how large donors had serious concerns about the viability of Biden's election chances and that got some of the more ardent Biden supporters mad.

[LeftInTX]

23. There was no reason to alert stalk him over that. Yes, it was upsetting to hear, but I wanted to hear it!

[Kaleva]

27. I agree

That's when he got his first 5 hides and was flagged for review. He and others were given a reprieve when Biden officially dropped out but the 5 hides were still there. When he got another or more, he was put back on FFR status.

[SocialDemocrat61]

25. Maybe he'll get a gig as a Tim Walz look a like?

[bamagal62]

29. Didn't this happen a few weeks ago?

And, then he was restored? Is this a new FFR?

[Scrivener7]

36. Yes.

[pwb]

30. I thought he was full of himself.

.

[Orrex]

32. I noticed that DU has featured less smug condescension and self-righteous scolding in recent days

I thought I was imagining it, but my unnamed well-connected inside source tell me that I'm not.

[RidinWithHarris]

34. Odd, Brooklynite never struck me that way

I can think of someone else who does (not you!) who's still around, however. 😄

[Kaleva]

37. Dedicated Biden supporters telling everyone else to Shut the Fuck Up has ceased too

I was being called for jury twice a day during that time.

[NBachers]

33. Somehow, I'll find a way to continue on

[gab13by13]

40. Me too 😊

I had a few battles with him when he insisted Pa. needed to nominate a moderate, Conor Lamb over Fetterman. Maybe the Democratic brass wanted a moderate, Lamb, but I knew that Fetterman was more popular being from Pa.

All arguments within the rules back then.

[Renew Deal]

39. He still has 5 hidden posts.

He needs it to come down in my opinion. He picked up a 6th as soon as he came back and got rebanned. lol
