Oh and by the way...I'll be hanging around for a while.

(42,862 posts)I'm curious ... did you get any sort of email or PM or automatic notification letting you know the time-out had been lifted? (Or did you just read-about it with the main announcement.)

But I suppose the revisions will continue as the primary season winds to a conclusion.

(61,737 posts)The takeaway is that Admins will be reading each and every alert, and they will be taking away juror privileges from anybody who (a) votes not to hide "worst-of-the-worst" posts or (b) votes to hide an "innocuous" post. Skinner didn't give any further definition of those two criteria, so I think he assumes that we'll know them when we see them. I assume that this same criteria will be applied to alerts themselves - in other words, people who alert on "innocuous" posts might lose posting privileges.
This, with Skinner taking away 5-hide suspensions, not only takes away any reason to alert stalk, it makes alert stalking dangerous for the stalker. I would think twice about alerting on any post that might be construed by Admin as "innocuous."
I'm glad to know that this should stop the alert stalking.

(51,074 posts)personal attack on Bains. Of course it was not hidden.
Also, the poster of the most epically disgusting post ever to be posted on DU is still a member in good standing. I'm talking about the one who likes to talk about having sex with dogs.
Soooo..... there's still work to do.

(51,074 posts)Here is where you can read that kind of thing, right here on DU:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1107&pid=30492
Here's an excerpt:
The poster was a Bernie supporter, the person he was talking to was a Hillary supporter, so our brethren decided it was just fine and dandy, and left it. The poster was so proud of it he put it into his journal. Four people who pointed out that it was gross were hidden, but the writer was never hidden.
DU has a lot more to do before it can be considered rehabilitated.

(25,586 posts)That's just about as low as it gets. What an asshole.
Squinch
(51,074 posts)The admins were alerted to the post multiple times, so if they thought it was bad, I'm sure they would have done something about it. But nary a word. They are just FINE with it!

(10,478 posts)...was soliciting others to build up alerts and hides in order to silence one side of the debate here. I alerted, but someone beat me to it by mere seconds, and it was successfully hidden.
That was great news, and I think a corner has been turned today at the DU, steering this place away from an abyss.
