Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumMESSAGE ABOUT SOP ALERTS FOR THIS GROUP
Hillary Hosts only take into consideration SOP alerts sent by regular members of this Group. Hillary supporters are the backbone of this Group and they know what they want and don't want posted here.
Alerts sent by people blocked from this Group or people that do not participate in this Group, I'm hear to tell you right now that you are wasting your time. Your time would be well spent in the Main Forums or Groups that you participate in.
Group Hosts have total control over the Group that they Host in and here in the Hillary Group we use the Statement of purpose as a guideline not strict adherence.
We make the Hillary Group enjoyable for Hillary supporters and we listen to them and them only.
All others are free to read here but if you don't like what you see, then you can just move right along. There are plenty of other Groups where you might be better suited for.

(42,862 posts)Skinner has admitted that there's a problem and that he intends to come up with a solution ... but that won't be until after this election season. We'll just have to proceed with caution until it's a mathematical certainty that Hillary will be the nominee.

(47,485 posts)He does not want "other DUers" being trashed. It is not "other DUers," it is trashing Hillary on a protected group.
Not that I expected any action from him.

(16,104 posts)What do you call people who "sow discord on the internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion, often for their own amusement?" (thank you, wiki )

Nothing at all like the old American comics!

(58,785 posts)I seem to be drawn to the mud pits. It's likely because it's so quiet around here. Marsh on 3 sides is lovely, but...calm. The alligators here always slip away from me, never come out and engage.
Super Tuesday is next Tuesday! I'll be dropping by then for sure.

(51,564 posts)Alert stalking is what has gotten so many Hillary supporters here on time out. It doesn't take much. I got a 4-3 hide here in the Hillary group for complaining about the Sanders group posts containing right wing attacks against Hillary. http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1107&pid=30924

(55,147 posts)They can still send SOP alerts but now it's been made public what we do with them.
Does this help?

(42,862 posts)... turned into a weapon to silence political opponents. Thanks, William (and other group leaders) for not allowing the SOP alerts to be abused in the same way.
The alert on your announcement is just more proof to support the case you made. I had to chuckle at the accusation of you starting "board wars" ... I'm convinced that whoever said that was completely unaware of the irony.
The SOP alerts aren't anonymous, right? You guys can actually SEE the username of the individuals who are trying to disrupt our safe haven, right? (I believe that the anonymous nature of the regular alert system helps to contribute to its abuse, but if people knew that SOP alerts included their user-ID, then perhaps there wouldn't be so many.)
Anyway... thank you! Thanks also to everyone else who helps to keep this group a friendly and safe place where we can post without (with minimal?) interference and harassment. You guys are the best!!

Nothing else to do than troll a protected group looking for trouble?

(67,782 posts)Who determined the SOP of this group, and can it be changed? The reason I'm asking is that we're getting a whole bunch of new "SOP Alerts" based on the wording of the SOP. Perhaps if it was changed to be similar to that of the Bernie Sanders Group we'd get less SOP Alerts?
Ours is:
"Discuss the life, career, and accomplishments of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. Supporters only."
The Sanders SOP is:
"A group for supporters of Bernie Sanders."

(55,147 posts)We have some in this Group that does not like that this is pinned. Unlike them, I have been here since the beginning. I have a pretty good idea of what should and should not be pinned in this group.
