Yes, they're back... and yes they're baiting people. Here's what you need to know... [View all]

Here are the key point:

-The absolute worst have been pardoned. Most of those were legitimate... but that doesn't matter apparently.

-Bernie supporters are being silenced at a time when pro Bernie states are coming up. We have far more supporters here than Hillary does, so naturally, this affects us disproportionately.

-They are baiting! Be very careful! If they can get a series of quick hides on you, they can put your account into FFR status (Flagged for review)... and if the admins don't like you, your account will never leave it. FFR is a way Her supporters can get you effectively tombstoned without an admin doing it.

-Understand what this really is... it's a move to strategically silence Bernie Supporters. There are those who will claim otherwise, but consider this; the admins refused to perform this very same act when Obama was the presumptive nominee in 2008. The double standard is glaring.

Be careful what you post and where you post it.

GO BERNIE!!!!

I was released the day before the big pardon. floriduck Mar 2016 #48

WTH happened to Cali? Kittycat Mar 2016 #68

FFRd but I don't know what it was for dorkzilla Mar 2016 #72

I'm sure you're right dorkzilla Mar 2016 #66

Cali? merrily Mar 2016 #27

Nope dorkzilla Mar 2016 #29

Only 3 posts hidden in the last 90 days and flagged for review? Is that customary? merrily Mar 2016 #34

I don't think so, and the review is only supposed to be 24 hours anyway dorkzilla Mar 2016 #43

Any chance it's an oversight? Should we post in ATA? merrily Mar 2016 #47

See response #48 dorkzilla Mar 2016 #50

Well the 'owner' is... supporting--- you know who. pangaia Mar 2016 #77

Didn't Skinner's announcement yesterday say no one would be put in Timeout until the Primaries are in_cog_ni_to Mar 2016 #13

FFRs are still in effect. Timeouts are completely different. Bubzer Mar 2016 #16

Oh. how does a post get FFR? in_cog_ni_to Mar 2016 #21

You're correct... it happens automatically after a series of very quick hides. Bubzer Mar 2016 #24

I see. That's what happened to me 2 weeks ago. in_cog_ni_to Mar 2016 #32

Same thing happened to me ALittleBirdie Mar 2016 #102

I know. in_cog_ni_to Mar 2016 #106

As a new DUer, you have to be extremely careful senz Mar 2016 #112

Thanks for your recommendations, I'll be careful ALittleBirdie Mar 2016 #119

Happened to me late last year, took almost 3 weeks for the 3 'day' review to happen peacebird Mar 2016 #99

It's as if they think the dominant candidate on DU will win the GE Rebkeh Mar 2016 #14

It's an effort to depress the vote. Now more than ever, they need to convince people he cant win. Bubzer Mar 2016 #17

So, to get us to not vote at all if we don't conform Rebkeh Mar 2016 #23

Seriously??? Rebkeh Mar 2016 #30

Heh...you should see their OTHER site dorkzilla Mar 2016 #33

LOL. Yes, it does. polly7 Mar 2016 #63

Even worse...have you seen dorkzilla Mar 2016 #70

Yes I have, and it is fucking sick. There are a lot of people who seem to polly7 Mar 2016 #73

You really should expose this beyond the Bernie Group on DU. malletgirl02 Mar 2016 #126

Wow, that was eye-opening. coyote Mar 2016 #100

That is vile arikara Mar 2016 #114

Seriously. in_cog_ni_to Mar 2016 #35

It's odd. They post about how we are organized to get their posts hidden, merrily Mar 2016 #31

And if we were going to organize, YOU of all people would know it dorkzilla Mar 2016 #39

ME of all people? LOL! Why me? merrily Mar 2016 #42

Cause you're our hero and guiding light dorkzilla Mar 2016 #49

I had no idea. I deny everything, including sanity. merrily Mar 2016 #51

You're so sane it's a thing of beauty dorkzilla Mar 2016 #53

Aww, that's so nice! Part of my insanity is the diabolical ability to fake sanity. merrily Mar 2016 #55

Me either! in_cog_ni_to Mar 2016 #40

Wanna form a Gang of Two Outcasts? GTO? merrily Mar 2016 #44

Cool. What shall we plot and whom shall we plot against? merrily Mar 2016 #57

Good question! in_cog_ni_to Mar 2016 #67

Good point. Plotting probably works better if you don't do it on the board. merrily Mar 2016 #69

Maybe you two could start by targeting the Gardening group, and work your way up. Jim Lane Mar 2016 #97

Yuck! Why did I have to go and look at that site?! My eyes are burning! Ned_Devine Mar 2016 #45

they hid the worst stuff after people started posting screen caps here. merrily Mar 2016 #52

Those secret handshakes can be pretty tricky to master Art_from_Ark Mar 2016 #78

It was exposed in GDP the day the site went live. in_cog_ni_to Mar 2016 #127

I was referring to media exposure. malletgirl02 Mar 2016 #130

The corrupt corporate owned MSM doesn't care what the Clinton camp does...they are shills in_cog_ni_to Mar 2016 #132

For some reason they really do want to force their candidate through. senz Mar 2016 #113

I hadn't thought of that Rebkeh Mar 2016 #115

It seems unlikely to you that Hillary represents the establishment? senz Mar 2016 #116

Skinner's wife is working for Hillary's campaign riderinthestorm Mar 2016 #122

So, probably this "amnesty" thing is part of a larger scheme senz Mar 2016 #123

Skinner has been unabashedly for Clinton since she announced riderinthestorm Mar 2016 #124
