STOP ALERTING IN PROTECTED GROUPS YOU ARE NOT A PART OF.

[Agschmid]

That's it, move on.

[Cha]

1. I wish that worked, Agschmid.

I hope Skinner has that in mind for his improvements after the primary.

Mahalo~

[Agschmid]

2. Me too.

If you are blocked from a group as a disruptor you may not send TOS alerts for that group. That would be a great improvement.

[Cha]

3. Also alerts have to be against TOS.. not just some whim.. they don't like it and there's more

of them .. so there.

[Agschmid]

4. And this...

Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Hiding because the post hurts my eyes.

SHOULD NOT be a valid reason to hide, and of course it was a 4-3 hide.

[pandr32]

21. It is like all territory has been taken over by a gang

...an we get our space regularly tagged.
I guess the idea is that we should disband--flee the territory, and then not be threat to the controlling gang anymore.
Will I get a jury hide now?
Jury: this is just a metaphor

[FarPoint]

27. All my hides were based upon opinions...

Never ever related to a Term of Service violation....

[Cha]

30. Exaclty. What kind of Freaking jury system is that? My hide was based on a lie and the alerter

has since been PPRed.. but I'm stuck with the damn hide.

FarPoint

[FarPoint]

33. Same dang inappropriate jury consequence for me....

Jury system as I understand is under review for change soon.

[Cha]

34. Really? I hadn't heard. I thought when the primary is over and that could

take forever.

[FarPoint]

38. I read through some of the feedback at...

Ask the Administrator... forum.

[Cha]

43. Thank you, FarPoint!

[NurseJackie]

15. Sometime after July 25th? Good God!

[Cha]

16. I know, Jackie.. it's beyond ridiculous.. the Hides will continue until moral improves.

[jsmirman]

20. This "after the primary" thing is RIDICULOUS

Wake up, Skinner!!!

It's not putting your thumb on the scale to stop a protected group and a minority group of posters from being abused.

It's abdicating your core responsibilities to your own site to not address this situation.

[Cha]

5. Oh, I see the majority just hid sheshe's thread having my back. I can't say what I think

of them.. because they're lurking right now.

[Agschmid]

6. ...

It's so frustrating.

Someone had a post hidden for listing the Rec's on a thread... Rec's which are show right in the thread info, it's not private information in any way... And it certainly wasn't a callout.

The jury is stacked.

It is clear.

[Cha]

10. that was George on sheshe's thread.. I told him I could have told him they

would do that.. I just saw it the other day.

They use any excuse knowing the jury has more of chance to buy it than not.

I'm just sick about sheshe.. she doesn't need this.

[pandr32]

23. So sorry, Cha

I love reading your posts when I am around.

We cannot allow oppression in "Democratic" Underground. All people should have equal representation in a real democracy.

One more thing for the lurkers: Hillary Clinton is an amazing person who has worked her whole adult life to help others and make a difference. She is not the evil queen she is painted out to be on DU--she is the Democrat front-runner for the nomination and the majority of the Democrats in Congress and State governments support her. So do the majority of Democrats in the country. The disrespect shown here for Sec. Clinton, and other democrats is disgraceful.

[Cha]

24. I'm sorry sheshe's thread got hidden.. that wasn't Democratic at all.. and the other one was allowed

to stand.

Great lurkers' message, pandr! Mahalo~

[Phentex]

8. We care about you.

It's gonna be allright.

[Cha]

9. Yep... that would be you.

[Coolest Ranger]

12. You know

if you keep this up the mods will be booting you and that will be just fine for me

[Coolest Ranger]

11. Agreed

We don't go into Bernie's group and alert on everything don't do it to us.

[EileenFB]

13. Them days are over

I'm sorry to say.

They flat out don't give a damn about rules!

[Gothmog]

14. K&R

[LannyDeVaney]

17. It will all be over soon enough ...

I imagine there will be a sharp decline on March 16th.

We may even be able to remove some group all together at that point.

[GusBob]

18. Hell ya, leave us alone!!!

[jsmirman]

19. Gee, I wonder why

subject lines don't appear in Ask the Administrators until answered...

If there was a meta section like there used to be, the admins would be getting lit up for pure dereliction of duty. The system they've created isn't working, and instead of coming up with a solution, they're hiding in their bunkers and allowing long-time members to be abused, stalked, and silenced.

It's outrageous that they haven't acknowledged that the time for new solutions was weeks ago and they still haven't addressed what's going on.

[jsmirman]

22. And in-group alerts should be judged by a jury of members of that group

how hard is it to ignore what is said in a protected group? Just ignore it! What is the malfunction that makes you think just because it's on the internet somewhere, you must respond?!

We're posting inside this group. Not trying to change anyone's mind, as we're posting to the Hillary Group.

[mcar]

25. Let's hope they listen

[Agschmid]

26. I have incredibly low hopes.

[mcar]

28. I won't be holding my breath either

[Agnosticsherbet]

29. I feel like I've fallen into the song "Every Breath You Take."

That is a creepy song.

[Agschmid]

31. But also perfect for what's going on.

[Agnosticsherbet]

32. Yes, yes it is.

[NastyRiffraff]

39. It is indeed creepy

The stalker's anthem.

[UtahLib]

35. We can only hope.

[Haveadream]

36. Thank you!

[DesertRat]

37. Well said. Thank you!

[Tarheel_Dem]

40. I don't get it. If a group offends you, why would you want to read it? I trashed GDP & BS Group...

for that reason. The only reason not to hide the group or forum is to get up to mischief, and that's exactly what's happening here.

[Agschmid]

41. Yup.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

42. Did not know they could do that. Ridiculous........ Very controlling behavior.
