TY for checking these. It should moonscape Sep 2024 #1

I agree. The failure to correct is really disappointing - and surprising on this board. Don't usually see highplainsdem Sep 2024 #19

Anything that person posts is suspect. n/t demmiblue Sep 2024 #6

They occasionally post something quite interesting, from a good source. But they don't always check highplainsdem Sep 2024 #22

That person might not have seen the correctives posted to him/her/them - their latest activity is 432 PM CT progree Sep 2024 #8

I sent them email. As I did yesterday, and they ignored it despite being online and posting other OPs. highplainsdem Sep 2024 #10

They're back on DU, posted a reply in another thread at 5:43 CT. And now another OP. No reply to highplainsdem Sep 2024 #14

Some people just need the attention and Rec's I guess. That post is up to 96 recs now progree Sep 2024 #29

This has been happening with this member since they joined. ms liberty Sep 2024 #18

Reminds me of some who posted here years ago, and was PPRed back in around 2016. GoCubsGo Sep 2024 #26

I've been getting some deja vu vibes about this one, so you may have something there. ms liberty Sep 2024 #36

While I seldom reply to them, I want to keep an eye out Hekate Sep 2024 #37

This, definitely. ms liberty Sep 2024 #41

Unfortunately the "Ignore" function doesn't keep posts off the front page JoseBalow Sep 2024 #51

You're welcome! It just saves so much time (and credibility) to check first. highplainsdem Sep 2024 #12

Me too. Sometimes half my "Latest" page is blank, with all the missing OPs. Scrivener7 Sep 2024 #25

Blank? Really? Fiendish Thingy Sep 2024 #39

Yes. Probably a difference in formats. It happens on my PC. There are many pages, Scrivener7 Sep 2024 #56

Huh. What sort of person would be motivated to alert on a correction? highplainsdem Sep 2024 #17

Probably in the basis of "interfering with forum moderation." BUT, as noted, there have been calls for help... Hekate Sep 2024 #38

Another possibility is the "negatively call-out" part of "No personal attacks or flaming" rule progree Sep 2024 #42

We may have to address the issue of sheer volume of posts at some point... Hekate Sep 2024 #47

I was correcting misinformation in a post that was getting a lot of recs and replies from people who highplainsdem Sep 2024 #55

Yes Hekate Sep 2024 #58

Creating an OP to point to an errant post in another thread might be considered a callout by some people progree Sep 2024 #72

I don't like that outcome either. I don't know how the appeal will go - the forum moderation interference progree Sep 2024 #75

I don't see how it's interfering with forum moderation if I point put misinformation in a post. I've been trying highplainsdem Sep 2024 #53

I'm on your side and completely agree with you. The query was from someone who seemed... Hekate Sep 2024 #59

And thanks again for your help x100 moonscape Sep 2024 #71

Oh, that's an interesting moonscape Sep 2024 #70

Which begs the question: how are we supposed to deal with this issue? Hekate Sep 2024 #24

Maybe there needs to be another option when you alert..something like "post is untrue" likesmountains 52 Sep 2024 #43

How can you tell when a post/OP has been alerted? chia Sep 2024 #28

I got called for jury duty on it. likesmountains 52 Sep 2024 #31

Oh, thank you, I thought maybe it was flagged in some way visually. chia Sep 2024 #34

Here's a link to the Community Help thread from 7/30 about adding an untrue information category ms liberty Sep 2024 #21

Thank you for doing that. Here is the post I just made... Hekate Sep 2024 #27

Well said, and echoes my experience too. Thanks! ms liberty Sep 2024 #44

Thanks for that link! I didn't see a recent post from you kicking it, so I'm guessing there was a glitch or you highplainsdem Sep 2024 #40

Thank you for letting me know my post didn't lol! ms liberty Sep 2024 #46

A font of misinformation and non-information. Scrivener7 Sep 2024 #23

Thank you for the correction. I rely so much on DU to not only supply facts, but to correct misinformation. chia Sep 2024 #33

Thank you! And almost all posts have a little blue box with a twitter link. nt cliffside Sep 2024 #48

That's the only possibility. MIRT's jurisdiction is for people with post counts less than 100, and forum hosts progree Sep 2024 #73
