no more. Nope, not becuase of the bans directed at fans of a certain campaign. They are annoying as hell, but DU is DU and the seasonal bans are regular problems that go with the yuletide and all that. Nope not that at all. The persistent bullying that is allowed.

Recently that has stopped, but that has not one iota to do with management, In fact, I suspect they approve of it, just like they prefer to ban trouble makers. It is part of the site management. Enjoy your star. I enjoy my add blocker. That one was free. Though I did donate to the code writer.
