Poll question: How Many Times Have YOU Had A Post Deleted?
I can't say I've kept count. But I think somewhere between 5-10 of my more than 5,500 or so posts have been sucked into the black hole of cyberspace.

Most of the time it was for just flat-out stupid comments, not necessarily for flaming anyone.

What about you?

1. I think for me it has been between 10-15
I try to be good, sometime though I just can't help myself!

2. None that I know of...
but I think I have posted to a thread that got deleted entirely. Does that count?

Hey, anyone know if deleted posts still count toward your post count?

3. I had my first post deleted last week...
and then had a second post deleted not even an hour later. It was a little bizarre.

5. I honestly don't know if I ever have.
Since I don't always practice exemplary behavior I could have, but I'm beginning to feel left out.

What's a girl gotta do to get a post yanked around here?

11. No, let's be truthful here

  • I wait with baited breath for the next flame war
  • I pour gasoline on flame wars
  • I wade into flame wars with big, hairy, muddy boots
  • I hijack threads and turn them into flame wars
  • I may turn this thread into a flame war

9. Only in one thread though..
There was a recent thread suggesting that the IRA were patriots and not criminal terrorist cowards and I went a little nuts....

10. Just once, when I was brand new.
My punchline about a Catholic bear and what the Pope might do in the woods offended someone.

14. Exactly Once, Much To My Surprise...
...it was a really good post suggesting what should really be done to the Squatter-in-Chief for all the harm he's brought to this country.

The moderators reminded me that the Secret Service's sense of humor isn't quite as good as mine, however...

16. Heck I have seen whole threads vanish, whats the deal anyway
I am sure they nix this one soon as they find out its going, but if they don't, at least I got to say my piece :-)

We know it's not a public entity or resource but for the sake of discussion, most of the stuff out there is not made up by DUers, it is just brought in.

Keeping it civil and not posting anything illegal of course, but you get the picture? Well maybe not, but we will keep on trying. Just keep that flaming down, them asbestos gloves wear out too dang fast.

17. ?
:shrug:

Not very often, to be sure. But it's happened on two occasions. Do we count each post in the thread or just the number of incidence.

18. I'm really not happy with the reasons my threads have been locked
and/or deleted. I said nothing inflammatory and I firmly believe that discourse on the subject was warranted.

19. Only one
In fact, I was deleted too. Then I was restored, with full back pay and no loss of social benefits.

I try not to make stupid comments, but it's in the eye of the beholder.

I am glad to be a part of this happy group, the Democratic Underground.

23. None,
at least so far as I know. Of course, posts could have been deleted at discussions I've never gotten back to. But I kind of doubt it.

26. Maybe once.. . but I don't know
I can think of only one that might have been deleted, and it was because I posted something about Jessica Lynch, and somehow managed to confuse her w/ Jessica Simpson.

At least... I hope it was deleted.

29. One - during the Iraq invasion - I implied someone
was a disruptor. The use of that word was enough to get the post removed. The so-called 'disruptor' is no longer with us. I think he did his 'job' and left.

34. Only one, so far...
I made some joke about drowning Lieberman or something, and it got deleted for suggesting bodily harm. I've been a fairly good boy, in general.
