I've now had maybe 30 posts deleted because I called bullshit |
|
on idiots.
How long does DU expect people to donate and participate when freedom of speech is not on the menu?

1. You should e-mail admin |
|
This is the wrong way of going abou this. This tread, i suspect, will also be deleted.

2. This may be a good time to take a break. |
|
We all get frustrated and that's hard. It never hurts to step back for a moment.

8. My problem, in truth, is that often people attack me, |
|
I don't alert but respond in kind, and then my posts get deleted while theirs don't simply because they alerted and I didn't. The machine doth not work, because I believe in free speech and the cowards don't. I suppose I have had far too long a run on the wrong website because I care for free speech and it is clearly not one of the objects of DU.

I think the alert button isn't doing DU any favors.

This will be number 31.
Before that happens, what idiots and what bullshit do you speak of?

13. well I couldn't name anything or I'd get deleted, right? |
|
But let's just say a moment ago someone called me a female dog and when I responded, quite civilly, I think, my post was deleted and his/hers is still there.

6. A suggestion from a former mod |

Edited on Thu Nov-16-06 01:44 AM by Hippo_Tron
I can't speak for the mods because I'm not one anymore and I don't know why your posts got deleted, but I know that your posts tend to get deleted when
1) You call someone out by name
2) You resort to name-calling
Attacking the argument is generally okay. Attacking the person is not allowed.

11. Flame wars get deleted |

Believe me, I know. :evilgrin:
Sometimes I think people are way nastier to me and I get deleted anyway. Put up with it or be nicer. Or put the idiots on ignore.
