In reply to the discussion: Perfect. There should be billboards like this for [View all]Liberty Belle
(9,534 posts)61. how many here know that you can't post analysis anymore when you post a news story in breaking news?
I discovered that tonight trying to post. When I complained my thread got locked.
It's wrong to hide complaints about such important features away in the Meta-forum where nobody will read it, except others who ran into different problems. As a news editor, I want to see DU analysis by the poster, who often has info that augments the lame MSM reporting. I also want to add my own perspective on stories I post. If I can't do that, I really am losing interest in this place.
If DU is censoring posters from putting some perspective on the daily news, it's totally wrong!
Something that major should be discussed where the MOST number of DU members can see it and weigh in, not the least.

Why is there no way to appeal a decision to lock to anyone other than the host?

I believe that this is the only way to make the Hosts truly responsible for their actions.

I don't see how having no real appeals process is holding them responsible

We have Good Reads. Do we also have Good Eats? Good Vacation Getaways? Good Fucks?

IMO, it also makes it sound like the discussions are all about personal (subjective) opinions
