One of the biggest SHAME moments on DU is that the African American group has literally been invaded by people from other groups to the point where four major posters got alterstalked, and the same is there in the feminist group. Your rule would help them.

And they are the first to holler loudest about such things happening in their "protected" groups villager Aug 2015 #2

Yep ...and they alerted on that post too. L0oniX Aug 2015 #9

Those 4 are only interested in divisiveness. 840high Aug 2015 #46

Yup nadinbrzezinski Aug 2015 #60

Do tell. So there are some posters who might have a bit of an adgenda? Vincardog Aug 2015 #3

I think there should be a rule that non members cannot alert in a group. Cleita Aug 2015 #4

Most mods have agreed to not take action on alerts from those who are hostile to Bernie Sanders L0oniX Aug 2015 #7

I've also been sending aler abuse notifications to the admins. smokey nj Aug 2015 #10

I doubt we will get any help from them. L0oniX Aug 2015 #11

I really doubt it too. BeanMusical Aug 2015 #109

That's a positive. Thanks. Cleita Aug 2015 #12

Good for the hosts, that is an abuse of what is imo, a very good, democratic system IF people sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #23

There's no "membership" in DU groups though (nt) Recursion Aug 2015 #31

Link please. eom Cleita Aug 2015 #37

What do you mean "link"? There's no way to "join" a DU group Recursion Aug 2015 #40

Somebody left their sense of humor behind. Cleita Aug 2015 #41

Most of us know, or can easily learn, who does and does not support Sanders. merrily Aug 2015 #80

Yes, a terrible loss. salib Aug 2015 #21

Great title. merrily Aug 2015 #81

So, Why can't they be tombstoned? Demeter Aug 2015 #17

Only the DU admins and MIRT can TS. L0oniX Aug 2015 #18

This is pretty low. d_legendary1 Aug 2015 #20

IMO they are. They just alert stalked Nadine but then they've always done that. L0oniX Aug 2015 #25

Tee hee hee libodem Aug 2015 #43

They just alert trolled you for a hide. L0oniX Aug 2015 #69

Well, certainly. The horns aren't symmetrical. Eleanors38 Aug 2015 #89

Actually, that was a pretty disgusting graphic passiveporcupine Aug 2015 #94

IMO it was harmless fun ..no worse than drawing moustaches on posters. L0oniX Aug 2015 #95

If it were a republican or something, I'd agree with you passiveporcupine Aug 2015 #96

This place is getting crazier by the day. passiveporcupine Aug 2015 #22

Normal DU primary stuff. Where we fight each other instead of for our candidates DebJ Aug 2015 #28

Twas like this in 2007 and 2008 Rosa Luxemburg Aug 2015 #102

I don't remember it being this bad, but it could be I was just skipping a lot of it passiveporcupine Aug 2015 #105

They also locked Nadin's OP, which was sadoldgirl Aug 2015 #27

Don't agree. She could go off script and demonstrate what most of us only read about eridani Aug 2015 #51

I hope her campaign doesn't figure all that out. SoapBox Aug 2015 #57

The video of her with the BLM activists doesn't show that side of her. cui bono Aug 2015 #66

Probably not, but my point was that her campaign would work better if she went unscripted n/t eridani Aug 2015 #67

She's not running for Ms. Congeniality. None of those things would change my vote. merrily Aug 2015 #79

But maybe a more honest sounding apology? eridani Aug 2015 #113

Only if an apology can raise people from the dead, heal minds and bodies, merrily Aug 2015 #114

perfect post marym625 Aug 2015 #38

This is really getting ugly. TDale313 Aug 2015 #44

I agree with you. What surprises me this time around is the glinda Aug 2015 #48

It is worse now because we have an "outsider" running zeemike Aug 2015 #52

I can guess who they are. 840high Aug 2015 #45

An attempted purge.... Spitfire of ATJ Aug 2015 #49

Serious. No hides and I get a time out. L0oniX Aug 2015 #72

Wow,...that's like making it to Nixon's Shit List. Spitfire of ATJ Aug 2015 #73

Was it explained what you did? Spitfire of ATJ Aug 2015 #76

that must have been a glitch Kali Aug 2015 #90

It was a notice in my email this morning. L0oniX Aug 2015 #97

was it for whatever got hidden? Kali Aug 2015 #99

- L0oniX Aug 2015 #100

My understanding is Curmudgeoness Aug 2015 #106

oh, well that does sound like some kind of glitch Kali Aug 2015 #112

Wow. That's disturbing. merrily Aug 2015 #82

Thanks, L0oniX. n/t bvf Aug 2015 #50

Well, there's a hidden post right on this thread and L0onix's account got flagged merrily Aug 2015 #84

Oh, yeah, I saw that yesterday before it got hidden. Blue_In_AK Aug 2015 #87

Gotta watch it. Many passionate people around these days, and people like their words jtuck004 Aug 2015 #85

They're acting like conservatives Unknown Beatle Aug 2015 #92
