15. DU does need such a policy.

Luckily, we already have one.

It is the responsibility of all DU members to participate in a manner that promotes a positive atmosphere and encourages good discussions among a diverse community of people holding a broad range of center-to-left viewpoints

Democratic Underground is an online community for politically liberal people who understand the importance of working within the system to elect more Democrats and fewer Republicans to all levels of political office. Teabaggers, Neo-cons, Dittoheads, Paulites, Freepers, Birthers, and right-wingers in general are not welcome here.

If an argument parrots a RW lie... let the poster know. If the poster has been shown that (s)he is not merely presenting a valid center-left position that happens to have broader support, but actually facilitating a RW lie, yet keeps it up... alert and let the community standards work.

Do you or do you not think DU is subject to attention from commercially motivated PR campaigns? kristopher May 2012 #10

I think the idea of needing a "policy" is the problematic part caraher May 2012 #21

Why is that the only type of policy that is possible? kristopher May 2012 #22

Again, already being done ... Nihil May 2012 #25

"Again"? kristopher May 2012 #27

I guess maybe the word "policy" is confusing caraher May 2012 #29
