5. Okay, so I'm asking because of all the pro-Putin neo-cons / right wingers who are very visible on DU

But they do pretend to be Democrats--they all have Warren or Sanders logos--so they are technically trolls.

They do things like use the video forum which creates a very visible presences and post all kinds of basic Kremlin propaganda--like one actual fascist post that I got removed today. But it is constant.

They fit into this TOS note under "right-wingers in general" "advocates of violent...change" and "America-haters" plus "and the like", but perhaps the TOS should be updated to included "overt supporters of dictatorships" or something?

Teabaggers, Neo-cons, Dittoheads, Paulites, Freepers, Birthers, and right-wingers in general are not welcome here. Neither are certain extreme-fringe left-wingers, including advocates of violent political/social change, hard-line communists, terrorist-apologists, America-haters, kooks, crackpots, LaRouchies, and the like.


I would point out that, just like anti-democratic forces can use the tools of democracy to subvert it, so can these pro-dictator posters use DU to subvert its intention.

Their high visibility despite their low numbers (probable sock puppets) seem to fit into this TOS violation category:
If you seem to be ruining this website for a large proportion of our visitors, if we think the community as a whole would be better off without you here, if you are constantly wasting the DU Administrators' time, if you seem to oppose the mission of DU, or if the DU Administrators just don't like you, we will revoke your posting privileges.


So what's it take to get a MIRT team to just get rid of these fascists as soon as they show up on DU?
