Reply #32: the new rules suck.

[protect freedom impeach bush now]

If the intent was to improve discussions,
then the new rules seem to do the opposite.

A free flow of info sometimes mean you have to wade thru
a lot of crappy posts and just plain useless posts.

But sometimes that is exactly why people read & post at DU.

BEFORE -- you just never knew WHAT was going to be posted in DU.
AND that was what made DU GD forum worth while,

SURE some days you log on and look/scan at GD forum
topics and just shake your head...and move on.
But many long time posters have faded away....maybe new job
..new careers..and no more time...maybe DU burnout....
..maybe complete digust with spineless DEMs......

.....I REALLY LIKE BARTCOP ? why ?

because bartcop says what he means and it you dont like it
TOUGH ! Many posters at DU used to be like mini-bartcops,
but sensitive DU mods chased them away.

'cant let the masses get toooo angry at spineless DEMs
'cant let the masses get toooo angry at the DLC corp
whores.

the free flow of info should be just that.

UNLESS its completely vulgar, then justPM me :-)
A lot of crappy GD titles belong in The Lounge.

Posting news in GD should never be LOCKED
News and commentary should NOT require posting what one
thinks or doent think about a news item.

The posting of news that is more than 12 hours 'old'
needs a place at DU to be freely postedwithout comment.

With this new BS rules in GD, any news needs some
commentary added by the poster.

WHAT THE FUCK FOR ? What comment is one to add when you post
a news item that is about troops deaths ?

you do not need to add any comments to 'enhance' discussion.

SOME news items are posted to keep DUers INFORMED,
especially when the main news whores corporations will not
report it. SOme new items posted do not require ANY
further discussion or comment. The news post is in itself
ALL the should be 'required' at DU.

Just looking at DU GD forum today....what do you see ?
a lot of completely BS thread titles that one wouldnt
waste any time on, YET some ARE very interesting.

Interesting to some DUers, yet not interesting to other DUers.

...rules....regulations.....cant use CAPITAL LETTERS....
cant use !!!!!###@!!!!!!!!***!!!!!!!.......


geez next the mods will be telling us how and when to take a crap.


My bet is nearly 95% of DUers come to GD in part to find
news article not in main stream news sources.
