5. 'Sup fellow optimist

Sometimes known as "fools" to those who see the glass half empty.

I don't care as much who our candidate is as having a Democrat win in the fall.

I'm optimistic that we'll retain the Presidency.

12. all the smart/fun people are getting flagged for review! how can you make jokes?

13. I kind of love flagged for review

Because it's such a passive aggressive suspension.

The admins don't want suspensions anymore. Ostensibly. But then you get flagged for review! And how long does that last? Well, it depends. I got two hides in a day and ended up flagged for about five days. Bravenak is still on suspension, and that was 10 days ago. DanTex? We'll see.

But the question is, who's reviewing, and how often? Does it literally take the admins two weeks to review someone? Somehow, I don't think so. Unless, they're totally checked out and taking in the money while doing the absolute minimum.

There's two explanations. 1) the admins use flagged for review to personally fuck with people or 2) they're so divorced from the site, they only bother checking their mail once ever two weeks or so.

I actually would kind of love an answer to this.

14. ha I have thought about some of what you mention.

flagged for review is WORSE than the 5 hide suspensions because at least you knew when you could return with the 5 hidden post thing. These days whenever one of the more prolific intentional shit stirrers gets a post hidden I ALWAYS check their info to see if they are flagged yet. Another thing, I don't participate in the jury system and I don't ever alert on threads so I am not part of the often mentioned Berniebro conspiracy to silence Hillary supporters by target alerting.

great comments as always!

15. I feel like the extended reviews are the admins way of saying

"Stop fucking up our site."

Which makes the lengthier hiatuses amusing.
