There are times like today where I wish our community as a whole can TS invading trolls...

[trumad]

They're out in force today and the Mods will be working overtime.

[nc4bo]

1. They've been stinking up the place since Sen. Kennedy's death was announced

and the mods have done a fantastic job getting rid of these piece of shit.

Thank goodness DU has good people to stand watch.

2. we need to be able to rate individual comments

as well as threads and the rating should contribute to an autoban. too many negative ratings coming in all at once should lock an account from posting temporarily and notify a mod.

[trumad]

4. Exactly---

Now with that said---I'd have been locked out a dozen or more times over the last several years...

BUT---A simple email to the mod or admin and they can review my status and either reinstate me or let me eat worm dirt.

[havocmom]

6. We can rate comments: Alert button!

The mods get them all.

[Teaser]

11. not the same...

I'd like a more automated system.

[havocmom]

13. Think of it like the nation - voters vote, reps act

;)

[Teaser]

14. fair enough

it works ok as is, so no real complaints. but sometimes I'd like to see trolls nuked within minutes.

[imdjh]

8. Ever been to You Tube?

They do that, and not surprisingly the thumbs down button doesn't correspond to violations of TOS, more often it corresponds to silencing the differing opinion.

Any thumbs up or thumbs down type of thing tends to get juvenile.

[Teaser]

10. nah, it works at kos

cause the community will downrate people who abuse the downrate system.

You just need an intelligent enough community to make it work. Youtube is full of high school kids and their adult equivalents.

[malaise]

3. We're looking for them trumad

Have no fear

[trumad]

5. LOL

Is it like a hunt? It's gotta be a little fun?

[malaise]

7. Sure - look for the smelly freepturd posts

:rofl:

[liberalmuse]

9. These are adults. Think about it, and be horrified.

On a day they know we DUers are mourning one of our own- the Greatest man to ever sit in The Senate, there are people out there who are so hate filled and bitter that they can do nothing but spread the ugliness and darkness inside of them. Adults. Ted Kennedy was a better human being than the lot of them, and they can't taint anything but their own already putrid and rotting souls.

[imdjh]

12. The greatest man to ever sit in the Senate? That's quite a declaration.

And bound to be challenged, just as any declaration of the greatest President.

Elizabeth I however, is another matter. Clearly the greatest monarch.

[Fading Captain]

16. Careful, your high horse is bucking

eom

[Fading Captain]

15. My God.

You know, there are people with Democratic ideals who don't believe it's appropriate to spend three days crying and overdramatizing the death of a politician.

There are people with Democratic principles who put the ideals before the person.

There's a lot going on the world today, and it's getting annoying to see the board overrun with non-stop romanticizing of a politican.

It's pretty fucking low for you to call for the tombstombing of people who have the temerity to question this ridiculous overreaction to the death of Ted Kennedy.

[Binka]

17. Fade Away Captain

ridiculous overreaction to the death of Ted Kennedy....oh my. You really really STINK.

[WillyT]

21. It's Called Mourning... And It Will Fade Away In A Couple Of Days...

Will you?

:shrug:

[rhett o rick]

22. These are not people with Democratic ideals. They are the lowest scum on earth they are republican

sympathizers. Republicans want war, torture, fixed elections, domestic spying, on and on. They are for tyranny. Not one of the bastards will explain why they oppose the public option. Will you?

[Bonobo]

18. I found one for sure.

I am in waiting mode.

[Binka]

19. Me too n/t

[Bonobo]

20. I'll show you mine if you show me yours!

:silly:

[Control-Z]

23. Hey, I got nothing to show.

But I still wanna see both yours and Binkas. Please, please, please...
