1. Look for a PM. n/t

2. Sent you a PM

3. Can criticize Democrats while supporting the Party, in particular can criticize actions. General slams not so much

There is no list. Much depends on how a post is written. Careful about adjectives.

If you say Dem A is the shittiest person who ever lived, expect it to be removed. If you say Dem B made "a really awful damaging vote" and explain without falling into an apoplectic fit, it'll probably stick.

I am not any kind of moderator, these are just my observations.

4. OPs calling Democrats "scumbags," appeasers like Chamberlain, Vichy Dems, leadership as our "masters" (Dear Leader

every once in a once). Still up, no problem. Personal insults, character attacks, name-calling for Democrats (except a few) are quite usual here and have NOTHING to do with constructive criticism.

When there's no evidence, go after character and project all sorts of malicious motivations, such as both sides complicit and being bribed so they only care about money. Sewer.

5. Thankfully I'm not a moderator and don't have to track all that, though I do vote on juries

And I've been limiting myself to less interaction w DU, leaving the whole CR issue to others here since I've seen enough to know there are very good points on both sides but didn't have time to get up to speed.

When there's no evidence, go after character and project all sorts of malicious motivations. Sewer.

I agree, I don't like that kind of posting. But "quite usual", I'm not sure. Definitely quite a bit more this week.

6. I didn't see any of the hidden OPs mentioned

But if he only did factual reporting on who received contributions from whom, I don’t see why those posts should have been hidden, unless some serious negative comments and unsubstantiated value judgments were included.

7. I thought these bans only applied prior to an election?

8. The List: All of them when they do something that helps the Republican party and/or don't stand up for Democratic ideals

Can someone please provide me with a list of names which Democrats we are allowed to criticize on Democraticunderground...

Imo, of course.

9. Not to be a pest, but...

...isn't against the TOS to discuss (and/or disparage) site rules and moderation?

[Emile]

11. Exactly my thoughts too. OP should self delete

if they believe what they posted about rules.

[demmiblue]

10. Also, you may want to reconsider this OP:

Don't interfere with forum moderation

Why we have this rule: The purpose of Democratic Underground is to discuss politics, issues, and current events. Open discussion of how the website is run tends to distract from our core purpose.

The Rule:
Don't post messages about site rules, enforcement, juries, hosts, administration, alerts, alerters, removed posts, appeals, locked threads, or anything else related to how this website is moderated (except in the Ask the Administrators forum).

12. Fetterman has been cited by Tuberville

as a member of the "Democrat Party" who shows common sense and whose opinions he finds valid. After his trip to visit him, Trump also praised Fetterman for his common sense and political acumen compared to other Democrats.

Chuck Schumer was praised yesterday by Trump for defying the majority of his party and voting for cloture.

Stating facts that show that these two Democratic Senators are taking stands favored by MAGA, seems pretty fair and in no way in violation of the TOS.

If it walks like a duck....it deserves to be called a mallard.
