I am fricking ticked off!

[CajunBlazer]

Some of you may remember that I posted in the Hilary Group a notification about a hide I'd received on the GD–P. My post contained a copy and paste of the actual notification of the hide. The only other thing it contained was my comment something to the effect that Sanders supporters either didn't recognize sarcasm or didn't like it when it was directed at them.

I was shocked to learn that this second post, in this group, was also hidden by a jury 5 to 2. And because it was my second hide within a short period of time my account was suspended for review. This is ridiculous! I'm so mad I could spit nails!

I can't wait until Hillary clinches the nomination and this bullshit comes to a sudden and dramatic end. Do sanders people not understand what their behavior is doing to our opinion of their candidate. Right now I'm willing to contribute any amount of money I can afford to any Democratic candidate who runs against Sanders for his seat in the Senate. And if Sanders doesn't get his act together, I am ready to lobby that he be removed from all of his chairmanships and committee assignments in the Senate after the election. Enough is enough!

1. I am tired of alert stalking.

[StayFrosty]

2. Non Democrats peddling a non Democrat

Right here on Democratic Underground.

And anyone who disagrees with their Messiah gets bullied into shutting up

3. I feel for ya.

I've been there.

4. The Berners have succeeded in burning one thing down...

...and that's the jury system. Here's hoping that it gets replaced by something that they really don't like (which is to say, by something they totally deserve).

[yallerdawg]

5. They are enraged they can't post in here!

So they peep in and see what they can hide.

And if you get one hide, they'll look for a second hide to trigger that 'flagged for review.'

Now - Skinner says in ATA jury abuse will get you removed from jury duty with no notification. And alert abuse will get you a timeout on alerting.

So they may be getting even more frustrated!

We just need to be generally civil and respectful - of 'lurkers' who can't even post or contribute civilly and respectfully in OUR COMMUNITY.

7. This was already aleted to hosts by a concernered BSer!

The alerts say it is against our TOS. We decide what is against ToS here.

[Thinkingabout]

9. I think he is going to stop the jury system because of alert abuse and the inability of those

Who serve properly, shameful it has turned out this way.

[bravenak]

6. Two weeks

[puffy socks]

8. Yeah, I got suspended for review for a cpl of days

for calling Bernie a "grumpy old man" among other similar type posts.
I knew I'd eventually get alerted enough times but thought why not engage until that happens or until the end of the primaries.


I feel good because Hillary won... She won, and there isn't anything these people can do about it. They're still laughably posting like Sanders has a chance of winning the nomination, the fight is over.

"I can't wait until Hillary clinches the nomination and this bullshit comes to a sudden and dramatic end"

Me too!

[sarae]

11. Grumpy old man sounds almost affectionate compared

to the disgusting slurs I've read about Hillary on DU. And these were slurs that were never hidden by jury. WTF.

I agree – the day she's officially the nominee can't come soon enough.

[fleabiscuit]

10. Ya, that was the shits. Three hides pretty close together that day. All bullshit. n/t

[George II]

12. No harm, no foul - just wanted to point out that, as a host of this forum I just received...

....a SOP alert on this OP. From the same DUer who has alerted several posts in this forum in the past.

To that DUer, go to your own forum and have fun - STOP your SOP alerts on posts that do not violate our SOP.

Thank you.

[sheshe2]

16. Incoming....

We just got another.

This one called it META. They need a mirror.

Once again...

[George II]

17. Yeah, to be precise:

It was "Meta. Lol. "

[hrmjustin]

13. Their desperation is making DU less fun.

[yallerdawg]

14. June 8.

[TeamPooka]

19. Can't arrive fast enough for me. nt

[caquillo]

15. I don't understand

Could someone please explain all of this to me? What are 'alerts' and what does it mean to 'hide'? What's the 'jury system'?

[Jamaal510]

18. A poster can

alert on a comment of another poster by clicking on "alert abuse" if they deem it as offensive, and then the comment goes to a randomly-selected jury of 7 DUers where the comment either gets hidden or left alone. With there being a majority of Bernie supporters on here, they also tend to be the majority on the juries. Depending on how biased the jurors are, this sometimes leads to offensive comments by Bernie supporters being left alone, while less provocative comments by Hillary supporters still can get hidden. If a DUer gets 5 hides within 90 days, he or she gets put on timeout.

[CajunBlazer]

22. Correct, but…

There is no longer a mandatory timeout for 90 days after 5 hidesin a 90 day period due tithe abuses and jury systems. That rule was changed by the site administrator about a month ago. However if two of your posts are hidden within the same 24 hour period, your account is flagged for it administrative review, and your posting privileges are suspended until that review takes place. If you are do you if you're posts are real abusive, your posting prove ligers canbe suspended infefinitely.

20. Aloha Cajun! I don't blame you.. I saw that post and that it was hidden.. sorry didn't

realize it was one of those horrible FFR traps snapped by the majority on the board who busy themselves in our Group..

I just got back online and see we have a couple of worrywarts now who sent SOPs on this post of yours.. think they know better than we do what we can or cannot talk about in OUR GROUP.

I suggest they go clean up their own group.

Sorry about your double hides. Welcome back!

[greatlaurel]

21. Their intent is to harm the Democratic Party and it's candidates.

The alert stalkers are not looking to help our party nor are they interested in working for sane policies that help everyone. Most espouse libertarian/right wing ideas/propaganda.

Hang in there.
