Well, that was different. I actually alerted early on a someone that was then TSed. |
|
Normally I'm always fifteen minutes late for all the fun.

1. So how many have you alerted on who haven't been TSed? |
|
Mostly I am alerting on posts, and that very rarely, more than I am on posters.
I would rather engage in debate with a troll or insulter or obnoxious person than alert on them.
I wonder if we allowed people to register as Greens, Democrats, Independents, or Republicans if the trolls would be honest or still try to pretend to be what they are not?

4. Very few actually. I'm pretty liberal about what people post, so it takes something |
|
pretty obnoxious for me to alert on someone. The point wasn't so much about the fact that I alerted as it was about the fact that I actually saw one of the mysterious threads that caused someone to be tombstoned, which is pretty rare for me.

7. Strange feeling, isn't it? |
|
I'm usually a day late and a slice of pizza short. When I first signed up I thought that I'd never use the alert button but after a bit I realized that there are times when alerting the mods is a good thing.

8. i've alerted on someone and got a thread locked -- or more accurately |
|
participated in complaining with others.
but i've missed most of the fun that happens on du with outrageous posters.
i wish some of the trolls would last longer so i could enjoy a proper du shredding.

11. Yeah, I've always thought it would be fun, and an additional source of funds, for DU |
|
to allow you to pay to see the subject posts :)
Note that I'm only joking, I don't really want them to.
