Let's all take a moment to thank the mods for the INCREDIBLE job they've been doing

[jgraz]

For some reason, I feel a little pat on the back is in order.



:yourock: :toast: :party: :woohoo: :applause:

[SeattleGirl]

1. Absolutely!

No way would I want to be herding this gang of cats!

[duhneece]

37. Amen! Tough job

I love DU and the mods make it possible.

[Forkboy]

2. He'll be missed....about as much as leprosy.

:)

[HCE SuiGeneris]

3. Easy kick and recommend.

:bounce:

[FlyingSquirrel]

4. Rats

I just realized how easy it's gonna be for someone to mock me if I happen to buy the wrong kind of pizza someday.

[jgraz]

5. Eh, don't worry bout it

We can mock you just fine as it is. :P

[LiberalAndProud]

33. Mock you?

Just not possible.

[gkhouston]

50. isn't eating that stuff punishment enough? I haven't bought that brand

in years 'cause the crust tasted like cardboard. Maybe they've improved.

[chknltl]

6. Thank You Mods

:yourock:

[Bicoastal]

7. Do you think the Mods send you a message before you get TS'd?

Like: "Game Over."

Or: "I CAST THEE OUT!"

Or: "Na Na Na Na...Na Na Na Na...Hey Hey Hey...Good Bye!"

Or: "Ohhhhh, you have NO idea how long I've wanted to do this...."

[jgraz]

8. I'm actually pretty curious about that

Not that I ever plan on finding out, mind you. :D

[anonymous171]

9. FUCK YEAH!

:yourock: :toast: :woohoo: :party:

No more threads with racist innuendos!

[jgraz]

10. You echoed my reaction exactly

But I think we're still a few granite cookies away from weeding out all the racist threads.

[Forkboy]

11. "You can kill Herman, silence Lennon, but you can't stop women from rising up."

Yes...this was just posted by someone!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[jgraz]

12. Lennon?

:shrug:

[Forkboy]

13. Herman's last thread had a Lennon video in it.

What a night. :)

[MethuenProgressive]

25. He was tombstoned for posting a Lennon video? (John Lennon)?

I find that hard to believe.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

30. No, for posting this tripe:

[Moochy]

28. "Someone"

A nasty "feminist" caricature at that.

[Tresalisa]

14. Thank you, mods, for the job you do!

:yourock: :bounce:

We all know it isn't an easy job, especially during the primaries.

[LaurenG]

15. Hard.Hard.Job. Thank you all!

[joshcryer]

16. Agree 100%!

They lock or delete many of the threads and posts I alert. Surprised how well that feature actually *works*.

Sorry Herman! But you know that was your goal, I tried to be decent to you but whatever.

[Maddy McCall]

17. I appreciate the work they do...

I know that it's quite a job, and they are very dedicated and responsive.

I will appreciate them even more when they start locking flamebait that calls Clinton supporters "trolls" and banning the jerks who call Hillary Clinton a "c**t," "traitor," and "scumbag."

I know they try to be fair, but a lot of stuff gets locked as flamebait that isn't, and a lot of flamebait goes unlocked.

Even considering that, I DO appreciate them, especially the ones who have reached out to me personally when I've been through some difficult stuff. (You know who you are. :hug: )

[dailykoff]

18. Next: Lilly.

:thumbsup:

[Yael]

19. Thanks Mod team!!

:woohoo:

[mckeown1128]

20. Really?! WOW!!!

Well, there goes one off the list of Clinton supporters who post on the "DUmp" forum of that competing site.

[Adelante]

21. Indeed

This must have been a fruitful night from what I've seen this morning. :toast:

[meow mix]

22. ty mods!

flushed a hater yaay

[helderheid]

23. LOVE your sig line! And to the mods, YOU ROCK!

[Mooney]

24. Praise Jesus!

We are all collectively smarter since that asshat's removal.

[UALRBSofL]

26. I'm sorry but when I read a post this morning that

Herman Munster was TS I was shocked. So, I went and did a search of his posts and what I found were Obama supporters starting threads slamming Herman all over the place. So to say your happy about that is sad and it's tragic because unless everyone doesn't walk lockstep with the other Obama supporters are ganged up on and slammed until they are TS. This is a travesty in my opinion.

[kwenu]

27. His posts were racist through and through. There was no justification for it.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

31. He was TSed for this:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5361126

[UALRBSofL]

34. Oh, he posted that, well, I have no answer for that post

That was not a good idea to post something like that and it is divisive and he was wrong. However, I hope the mods also keep in mind that people post about GLBT's that are offensive and hurtful like the post yesterday. Also, someone posted about the white people in the Appalachian states that were racists, ignorant, lazy, and other descriptives that would vote for Hillary but not Obama. I about lost my panties on that one. That post was never locked or anything. I just hope the mods are fair and balanced in there actions.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

35. I always alert on any of those types of threads.

[Forkboy]

41. Just alert on what you can.

That's really all we can do. I try to alert on all that stuff when I see it. I'm sure I miss some, but I try. Eventually the people who keep doing it will be axed. The Admins seem to usually give someone the benefit of the doubt at first, but if they keep pushing they end up meat. Herman kept pushing. Even some Hillary supporters were bothered by his post that set this off last night. He still didn't get it.

One thing that's bothering me lately that really isn't even against the rules is the Obama supporters who keep talking about the "low educated" Hillary supporters, which you mention. Pretty obnoxious, pretty tactless, and pretty stupid themselves for playing that shit up like they're any better. Sadly, most of that isn't against the rules...but it is bullshit.

[yardwork]

48. In fairness to the mods, most homophobes here are eventually banned.

If you alert every time you see a bigoted post of any kind, eventually the repeat offenders get theirs.

[stillcool]

29. Oh my...

I've had to take a few days off from the hate-fest. I just stopped in to see if things had improved ...and looky here. That you mods!!

[SoonerPride]

32. About damn time. Another off my iggy list. Hug and kisses to the mods.

Huzzah!

[redqueen]

36. I can certainly get behind that!

:applause:

[apocalypsehow]

38. I feel like I was an eyewitness to history last night...

:rofl:

[indimuse]

39. ..

:hi: yes. great job!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

40. It's a regular ethnic cleansing.

:evilgrin:

[sniffa]

42. Woot! I guess I can take him off ignore.

Anyone know what did it? I haven't seen anything by him in months, so I'm not privy to what did it. I heard it was some racist shit, but that's just rumor.

[sniffa]

43. Hey, the "black agenda" DUer got banned too

:woohoo:

Another name off the list. :bounce:

[jgraz]

44. Sadly, you'll have to narrow that down a bit.

All my "black agenda" iggies are still hanging on.

[jgraz]

45. Nevermind -- found it

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=user_profiles&u_id=156073

Good riddance. :puke:

[sniffa]

46. Here

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=user_profiles&u_id=156073

He was the black agenda guy on Munster's thread.

[Generic Brad]

47. Herman Who?

Not even the dignity of a tombstone - just simply erased.

[Shakespeare]

49. I think they've earned an honorary "Dirty Jobs" appearance after this primary season.

'Cause they've had to deal with some seriously nasty shit.
