DU? There are no longer moderators on DU. MineralMan Mar 2014 #1

"Those quests can find a site that pleases them more". Exactly, the owners of the site have sabrina 1 Mar 2014 #3

Yes. I'm also happy with how the site is administered. MineralMan Mar 2014 #8

I just wondered why you were advising a poster who is clearly happy with the site sabrina 1 Mar 2014 #15

Thanks, I was wondering. intheflow Mar 2014 #45

Sorry, I should have said B2G Mar 2014 #17

Actually, nobody on DU moves threads. That's not possible MineralMan Mar 2014 #27

And I think that all works just fine. nt B2G Mar 2014 #29

At least bring back unrec, its the democratic way. JaneyVee Mar 2014 #4

I agree. Why not let "a whole lot of DUers" participate JaneyVee Mar 2014 #23

But if everyone has the ability to rec what they want on the FP then it is not 'mob rule' sabrina 1 Mar 2014 #25

But its not the majority, its 300 out of 200,000. JaneyVee Mar 2014 #26

And if there are 300 trolls on here they have a voice too. zeemike Mar 2014 #36

They DO have a voice. And that number is everyone who registered since the founding of the site. sabrina 1 Mar 2014 #39

One of the ways that can be handled is to start a new OP MineralMan Mar 2014 #24

They were hardly calling for the banning of those whose opinions they DO NOT KNOW, were they? sabrina 1 Mar 2014 #38

Now if only that group could generate some progressive candidates. JoePhilly Mar 2014 #40

This is what made me laugh and everyone else also. The absolute sabrina 1 Mar 2014 #42

Where are the acceptably progressive candidates? JoePhilly Mar 2014 #43
