It may have been the most chickenshit "hide" in the entire history of DU villager Jun 2014 #3

No, I'd say hiding my post for using the word 'ratfucker' because it is supposedly KittyWampus Jun 2014 #10

Replete with the LOL, but nonetheless... villager Jun 2014 #73

So she is somehow sacrosanct? DU officially 'lost it' when it ran Nance Greggs off. KittyWampus Jun 2014 #5

I don't understand the complaining about her being banned. She caused it. No one else. n-t Logical Jun 2014 #9

She's not banned. Just temporarily suspended. n/t tammywammy Jun 2014 #14

Exactly. greatauntoftriplets Jun 2014 #35

having an opinion about how a soccer team plays is not a hideable offense ...nt pbmus Jun 2014 #16

when you post a spoiler, it is. She could have quickly changed it, btw. KittyWampus Jun 2014 #18

Is that why you think her post was hidden? rudolph the red Jun 2014 #20

SHE HAD 4 OTHER HIDES!!!!!!!! Get it yet? n-t Logical Jun 2014 #22

these days stating your opinion on DU is hideable which is ridiculous... pbmus Jun 2014 #25

Many jurys are wrong. It is just the way it goes. But no one whines about it. n-t Logical Jun 2014 #24

Political Correctness on DU ... LMAO ... pbmus Jun 2014 #27

I don't even understand why it was considered a spoiler. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jun 2014 #42

Okay, I disagree with that hide BainsBane Jun 2014 #17

Misery loves company? Is that your defense? Xipe Totec Jun 2014 #37

And we had eight threads about it yesterday BainsBane Jun 2014 #41

Amazingly, DU survived. Xipe Totec Jun 2014 #45

Believe me, I am not a fan of the system BainsBane Jun 2014 #57

Reputation, past history, and context matters. Xipe Totec Jun 2014 #68

it could be time for some changes in our hide system ... nt pbmus Jun 2014 #50

I've been saying that for ages BainsBane Jun 2014 #54

That's not why they were hidden. pintobean Jun 2014 #69

I don't think 4 jurors and 1 alerter is enough of a sample to say "DU has officially lost it" arcane1 Jun 2014 #70

And yet, it's the fraction of a fraction that mattered, isn't is? Xipe Totec Jun 2014 #74

who cares ? people get bad hides all the time and they don't start multiple threads about it JI7 Jun 2014 #26

Hey! I agree with you for once!! :-) nt Logical Jun 2014 #28

The alert problem has gotten out of hand on DU ... pbmus Jun 2014 #31

the problem has already existed in other cases but people didn't start multiple threads over it JI7 Jun 2014 #38

what, she did not ask me to start a thread ... this is me looking at DU pbmus Jun 2014 #44

so what ? others have gotten hides for stupid shit also, and she had many other hides, it wasn't JI7 Jun 2014 #48

oh lordy, here we are, getting back at nadin for posting cat pics....nt pbmus Jun 2014 #51

no, she was getting back at others by posting the cat pics and other stupid shit JI7 Jun 2014 #56

I think 4-3 hides should hide, but should not count towards time outs. MohRokTah Jun 2014 #33

and someone should look at the alert and say BS or no BS before the community looks at it ... pbmus Jun 2014 #36

What? When did this happen? IronGate Jun 2014 #34

She got a hide for a soccer post? Renew Deal Jun 2014 #60
