1. Why was that thread locked?

Seriously it was funny. This is beyond ridiculous.

[Cha]

3. It was hidden. worse.

[NurseJackie]

4. You're correct! It is beyond ridiculous! Skinner really needs to do something.

... and soon.

[still_one]

32. Because only Susan Saradon or Bernie supporters are allowed to use such terminology

That is what you call a double standard

[lunamagica]

2. Sigh. I can't even type what I'm thinking...

Leftofcool

[Cha]

[UtahLib]

6. I just gave that a rec. How ridiculous DU has become. nt

[still_one]

33. same here, they cannot alert against that........ yet

[William769]

7. Kick and so highly recommended.

[Loki]

8. I keep posting,

I don't give a rat's ass what those juveniles think. Go Leftofcool!

[all american girl]

9. Did I or did I not just see a thread about voting with the girly bits....

Oh Yeah I did and commented on it. This has been silly and wrong. I'm starting to notice a trend....

[Codeine]

28. And meanwhile people are posting shit

that's Freeper-level sexism and surviving BernieJuries 6-1.

[all american girl]

30. Oh yeah, on another thread I basically got called dumb and uninformed because I'm a woman

who voted for Hillary....makes my husband dumb and informed also....without the girly bits...who knew? I laugh at these people.

[GusBob]

10. This is ridiculous

Of course I am not gonna post what I really think, even though its true.


Note to jury: There is some assembly required for this post.

[stonecutter357]

11. K&R!

[johnp3907]

12. Idiotic.

[sufrommich]

13. We need to compile all these ridiculous hides in one place.

And Skinner needs to address them.

[johnp3907]

14. Yes!

[NurseJackie]

16. And another ...

[sufrommich]

17. Oh my God!

[still_one]

34. Is this a discussion board? I am starting to wonder

[Coolest Ranger]

15. I reced it just because it was locked

Oh my god

[brer cat]

20. I am so glad you reminded me

that we can rec hidden threads. Done!

[fleabiscuit]

24. Good idea. eom

[NurseJackie]

42. Done!

[BillyDawg]

18. Ugh

Fight on!!

[shenmue]

19. Yes

[mcar]

21. That OP was locked?

What nonsense!

[NurseJackie]

22. I agree. (I hope that Skinner will figure out a plan to address the problem)

[mcar]

23. I hope so too

It should have been handled months ago IMO. But we will move forward.

[still_one]

36. Get rid of the vauge "community standard", as a first step, and bring back

moderators that make ruling on specific TOS criteria would go a long way to weeding out alert stalking and bias

[NurseJackie]

40. Total site-wide moderation might be impractical ... but ...

... having human moderators to keep an eye on the jury results could be a good start. (Even if it was just regular "spot-checking"... kinda like random drug testing for law enforcement jobs. It won't catch everyone, but it will discourage abuse and perhaps eliminate the obvious repeat offenders.)

Having alerts be NOT anonymous would probably help. Having longer time-outs when a jury votes 7-0 against hiding would also help. Perhaps having daily limits would prevent stalking-type behavior. Maybe 6-1 or 5-2 results would be the break-point for a 24 hour waiting period. Automatic review for 4-3 "close calls" of hidden posts would be a positive change.

Of course, all of these suggestions would require additional programming and testing of the code. Code doesn't just write itself... so it's likely to be at least a year before anything meaningful happens.

[still_one]

41. good suggestions. I still think community standards is not a good criteria for jury ruling

There has to be a specific set of guide lines.

Alerting just because someone disagrees with a post is too ambiguous

[PeaceNikki]

25. That's ridiculous.

goddammit.

[JohnnyLib2]

26. Vindictive and vicious alerting.

Leftofcool, they dun ya wrong.

[Codeine]

27. They're literally alerting everything

and relying on their numerical superiority to shut down every Clinton supporter. I cannot fucking believe how shitty this place has become in the face of such nonsense.

[Starry Messenger]

31. +1

[PeaceNikki]

35. For real. They tried to get me today, too.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1107&pid=56907

I suspect they try to get most of us... quite often and only rarely hear about it when it skates by.

[NurseJackie]

37. "She is sexist and hurt my feelings" ??? Seriously??

[PeaceNikki]

39. I know, right? I didn't know that Camille Paglia posted here

[obamanut2012]

43. hahaha

[jsmirman]

44. I have to imagine this is a disruptor aping the BS folks

no one can possibly be this delicate for real, right?

[Gothmog]

29. I stand with LeftofCool

[still_one]

38. +++++++++++++++++++++++++

me too

[DemonGoddess]

45. I rec'd it anyway

that is a funny, funny topic! Love the responses.

[Bleacher Creature]

46. Shameful hide.

I guess they've moved on from "denial" to to "anger." I wonder what's in store for "bargaining"?
