I want to say a public thanks to Skinner and EarlG. [View all]

Thanks for a couple of recent locks. I am sure you will still get plenty of flack (from everyone for everything ), but I appreciate your recent actions. It helps send the message that deliberately posting sexist flamebait really shouldn't be acceptable here.

LOL...EarlG locked ONE thread and the other was hidden by the jury. Rex Feb 2014 #26

Skinner locked one, EarlG locked one and juries are free to hide them as well Kali Feb 2014 #27

Hopefully it will end these meta-flamebait threads. Rex Feb 2014 #29

It was bad. As a host I hope they end soon as well. hrmjustin Feb 2014 #31

I am glad you have taken to hosting on DU. Rex Feb 2014 #32

I really need to start reading in more groups. Rex Feb 2014 #34

Duzy lol! hrmjustin Feb 2014 #36

IMO, Skinner should take the whole site down a week every 6mos, a nastiest timeout CK_John Feb 2014 #38

Good to hear about the lock/hide. Those posts made DU suck. nt SunSeeker Feb 2014 #41
