(135,425 posts)72. That alerter should be sanctioned by the admins for lying about the TOS in the alert to try and
dupe jurors into voting for a HIDE. There's no rule against posting diaries from The Orange Site.
And, speaking of the Orange Site, I've started reading over there, to try to get a sense of the culture and to see if I could stand the "diary" format (it seems a little pretentious to me, a bit Emo-journal-like, but maybe it will grow on me) and guess what they've started doing over there? Putting assholes in the corner on Time Out!!!

Really? How do you search that?

pucklady Wisper Feb 25 · 04:13:43 PM
Up in the [search] box, enter something. When you get to the next page, click [users] and enter a recent date range. I did the last two days. You get a list of all users starting with Kos who have commented in the last two days. Then sort the list by mojo. It will sort highest first, giving you Kos again. Click sort by mojo again to go in the opposite direction.

Thank you!
Holy hell thats a lot of people!
Is this just flagging or did Kos really start bringing the hammer down?
Wow.

I dont know how it works. Whether it is automatic or hammered. I like to check weekly or so to find out who has been banned recently.

Happens every presidential season, pie fights get out of hand, kos gets tired of the crap, and bannings, TOs and NRs commence.
You dont want to see kos when hes pissed off.

LOL.. yes Sko. I am aware, having been here since 2006.
But usually there is a Enough of your fucking shit post on the front page to accompany it. And usually they are BANS where people then have to ask to be let back in.
I didnt see anything that would have prompted this kind of smiting.

Hes given some warnings in the past couple of weeks, not a whole diary, but certainly in some of his comments.
I must have stayed out of the right diaries.![]()

at a quick glance it looks like it was a fairly bipartisan action

Has anyone here ever participated over there? How hard is it to get the lay of the land? I haven't yet signed up so I don't know if you see more if you have an account, or if the site is easier to navigate if you are signed in. I'm getting pretty tired of the stalking and harassment over here, though, and close to pulling the plug.

Yes, I agree. To me a hide is for when David Duke comes to AA and starts slinging crap.
