I would recommend everyone still on Facebook take a look at The Social Dilemma. Squinch Sep 2020 #1

why? What is wrong with disseminating a legit voting info site--no matter how often? hlthe2b Sep 2020 #10

He has posted it over 30 times edhopper Sep 2020 #13

It isn't a commercial site. He breaks no rules doing so. hlthe2b Sep 2020 #14

He's Spamming the board, posting this over and over on random threads Rhiannon12866 Sep 2020 #31

So?. Why the hell ar DU/aDUers upset about posting VALID noncommercial site information on voting? hlthe2b Sep 2020 #33

You do know that the site is a creation of Colbert's? He announced it the other night in his niyad Sep 2020 #58

Yes, I posted it along with his monologue which I've been doing since 2017 Rhiannon12866 Sep 2020 #60

he is spamming obamanut2012 Sep 2020 #15

the rule is for commercial spamming. Not a public service legit voting information site hlthe2b Sep 2020 #18

Yes. He's posted this over 30 times on random threads with no context Rhiannon12866 Sep 2020 #32

The rule was for commercial spamming NOT for legitimate information for voting in this all crucial hlthe2b Sep 2020 #35

This is the definition of Spamming the board Rhiannon12866 Sep 2020 #36

YOU should convey your opinion to EarlG. We have never applied this rule to informative, valid hlthe2b Sep 2020 #38

This is not my opinion, it is the rule which MIRT is upholding. n/t Rhiannon12866 Sep 2020 #40

No it is not and apparently... hlthe2b Sep 2020 #41

Which, given you just did the same suggests a bit of problem with your interpretation. hlthe2b Sep 2020 #46

check posting history Kali Sep 2020 #61

GOTV efforts are disruptive? Perhaps those complaining could take the 3 seconds required to ignore hlthe2b Sep 2020 #68

it was an odd situation for MIRT and EarlG has been contacted Kali Sep 2020 #69

As he should. THIS is not within the current guidelines for "spam." It should be HIS determination. hlthe2b Sep 2020 #70

well he can reinstate him if he feels differently Kali Sep 2020 #73

Cyclical pattern with MIRT hlthe2b Sep 2020 #74

what about blog floggers who post the same shit Kali Sep 2020 #75

This poster stopped at 32 posts when he was called on it. I saw no further posts since hlthe2b Sep 2020 #76

nah, 40 posts total only the first 2 were "real" all the rest were spam Kali Sep 2020 #77

Then THREE juries refused to condemn him. Perhaps that SHOULD have told MIRT something hlthe2b Sep 2020 #78

unfortunately the juries couldn't see the 30 repeat posts of the one they were looking at Kali Sep 2020 #81

These weren't 30 threads. They were reply posts within threads. YOU believe it was disruptive. hlthe2b Sep 2020 #82

last reply on this Kali Sep 2020 #85

You don't know that any of those jurors found it disrupive. No jury voted to hide hlthe2b Sep 2020 #86

I believe I was on one of those juries. Blue_true Sep 2020 #108

Excuse me. I did not in any way at all challenge the jury's motives. Quite the opposite as I agree. hlthe2b Sep 2020 #109

I apparently mis-understood your post. I was replying to you. Blue_true Sep 2020 #110

No We were discussing something totally different. Not issues with alerts nor juries, nor decisions hlthe2b Sep 2020 #111

I dont get what's wrong with it? cwydro Sep 2020 #43

Stephen Colbert's effort. In his monologue the other night. niyad Sep 2020 #56

Yeah, I like him. cwydro Sep 2020 #57

Have absolutely no idea. niyad Sep 2020 #59

nothing wrong with it Kali Sep 2020 #62

I guess I've missed that. cwydro Sep 2020 #66

and that is probably why juries are leaving it Kali Sep 2020 #67

I have to admit I rarely click on links. cwydro Sep 2020 #71

I was asked to serve on a jury for this this morning. AngryOldDem Sep 2020 #122

So I should just tell all my friends and family edhopper Sep 2020 #5

Because facebook is the only way to do that? Yeehah Sep 2020 #21

with that many people? edhopper Sep 2020 #25

With nearly 500 friends, family, peer group members - Ms. Toad Sep 2020 #54

It's amazing people were able to do such things Yeehah Sep 2020 #65

Actually, we weren't. Which is why I use facebook. Ms. Toad Sep 2020 #83

In your case, yes.... absolutely. LanternWaste Sep 2020 #99

Oh, a personal attack? Yeehah Sep 2020 #103

Why is it MORALLY right? SlogginThroughIt Sep 2020 #100
