(10,893 posts)anything in your post that is against the rules. Obviously not everyone on here is who they claim to be (Democrats and liberals). I've seen people get posts hidden on here who call Ed Snowden names, in addition to having posts allowed that call Obama names (e.g. "sellout", "POS car salesman", "fascist", "authoritarian", etc.).
Even I was unlucky and had my first two posts hidden two months ago. One was a video on YouTube titled "Criminals Gone Wild", and a few people claimed it was "racist", yet I showed it to some other regulars of the AA group here, and nobody really had a problem with it! Some here have touched on this, but it's like people dictating to others what is offensive and what isn't.
The DU jury system works in strange ways. With some of the comments being alerted on, it's basically a matter of lucking out and not having a bunch of hyper-sensitive people or trolls working the jury (and not having people on there who may personally dislike you).
