three juries also = at least three alerts and up to 9 members that agreed it was disruptive - none of us knows how that went, despite any thinking they were unanimous.

I am not alone, aside from at least 2 alerters* (I alerted once) there is consensus in MIRT, something you seem to be ignoring.

there were no replies to anything posted to him that I saw, including my PM. the two warnings were given long before he continured spamming early this morning/late last night. if he didn't look at the yellow banner telling him he had replies or a PM then maybe he didn't see them, I have no idea if he did or not. he had plenty of time to correct since the first warning reply was 5 days ago.

again, if this is so upsetting/important I suggest you contact admins and put the link in YOUR sig line and/or start another OP with it and keep it kicked.

*from comments of people who served on juries for two of the posts

Dude edhopper Sep 2020 #7

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

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
