Heads up, du!

There’s a previous member of du that was ffr’d and her posting privileges revoked who is taking personal ops from du members and re-posting them on her Facebook page. I can pm you her name as her securities are minimum at best…..she’s posted a ton of everyone’s ops!

Because I was hot!

And yes, it's true, my mind went a little sideways in adolescence, and I never quite got all of it back. (As if that's any excuse for some of my weirder DU posts...)

Still, I frequently ask myself, is wrong with some people?

Facebook???

not sure exactly what the "ffr" stands for in words. Fired for reason? Your guess is good as mine.

I don't believe they can post while that goes on, and sometimes it lasts for literally months, maybe longer.

Very few get it removed so they can post again, in my recollection. I could be wrong. It's been a while since I've seen it used.

But a lot of members - probably the majority - who've been ffr'd don't get reinstated.

I probably wouldn’t know who it was either lol. However, I think if you post on du it’s pretty much public anyway?

Why is she posting? Because she is repeating information, or to denigrate DU and its members?

If it’s the first, why would anyone care? Once you put something out on a forum, it’s out there to be seen, screen-shotted, or whatever.

If it’s the latter, and she isn’t able to post any more on DU, again, why does anyone care? Same thing applies - you put it out there, and there’s no limitation on who can see it, so what expectation do you have that it WON’T be reposted, screen-shotted, or what have you? You mean, someone is doing to DU members what DU members do with freeper posts and idiots on Twitter? Quelle surprise! The only difference is that if she’s doing it to troll or denigrate, you report to the powers that be so she won’t have any chance of rejoining DU.

What’s the point of informing everyone about it? Drama? Suggesting that people not post because - oh noes! - someone might repost them? Anyone who’s been a DU member for any length of time should find it obvious that there are DU posts showing up for mocking or angry comments all over far-right sites, so under the very worst case scenario, how is this any different?

Sounds like a big yawn and business as usual.

There is at least one site I know of that is pretty much entirely devoted to doing such things (and has been for years)... Welcome to the internet.

as a result of this accusation?

Why hasn’t Heartstring responded to the legitimate questions people have asked?

One can only concluded it is much ado about nothing.

Apparently some people are interested where their stuff is reposted. They replied they would like to know.

You didn’t. That’s all folks.
