makes this place suck mightily.

Now go ahead and kill this post for being too meta, and let the suck continue unabated.

1. Now that he's applied for Russian temporary asylum, it doesn't sound like much new will happen.

For a few months, anyways. Unless Greenwald or Snowden himself starts shooting off their mouths again.

3. Yeah but will it stop nonsense spamming?

[randome]

4. I think a DU timeout would be a good thing.

Absent new information, of course.

The McCarthyites have a different view, naturally.

8. there are only a few "usual suspects" who seem to be posting like crazy the Snowden propaganda

As another Duer noted, there are ways to solve it. Either ignore them, by the function, or hide their threads.

9. Or plainly put them on ignore

Let them be in an echo chamber

[quinnox]

11. That is definitely one option, the nuke level option

I imagine the more they post these type threads all the time, that are basically polluting DU, the more ignores they will rack up, until they are only left with their (small) echo crowd eventually.

12. That's funny! Put people on Ignore whose opinions you don't agree with...

...and you automatically create an echo chamber of your own!

13. When you have hundreds on ignore....

That chamber is quite large indeed.

HOW COULD YOU IGNORE THIS?

10. Actually, I'm not seeing much propaganda, but a lot of character assassination for both

Greenwald and Snowden. If you find it intolerable, may I suggest our busy DU bees start digging up as much information on the NSA spying that the MSM doesn't want to tell us about. That is really where the focus should be.

14. Trash by keyword.

Works like a charm.

15. BUT THIS ONE...Is Worth the Watch and READ!
