Poll question: I, for one, can't wait until the DU Journals are in place |
|
Yes, I've railed about Blogs before, and I still think blogs are largely a cry for attention, but this is much more of a community than signing up for yet another account on blogspot.com

I always seem to be the 1st voter. How am I supposed to follow the crowd if I am 1st? :shrug:

4. I hope it archives all "I'm leaving DU" threads each poster generates |
|
So you can see either the dramatic self-righteousness of Thursday 3PM's exodus, or the ennui of Saturday 11AM's embittered two-day exile depending on your mood.

And if DU can do a spell-check, surely they must be able to do a copycat counter

5. I wouldn't worry too much about disruptors writing nasty things |
|
folks around here would have to start actually reading posts for that to work.

8. If everyone gets a journal upon signup |
|
then some scumsucking scumlord from scumville can sign up, write some nasty shit about DU or DUers in its journal, and then post a link with the double "HA HA" of all that nasty shit being hosted by DU and paid for by DU donations.

15. Maybe make donation a condition for journaling? |
|
I imagine this feature will take up considerable server space, and most disruptors would never make that donation step. :shrug:

23. Donations has proven to be a bad filter |
|
Anyone can donate for five bucks, and MANY disruptors have.
My concern is people donating and getting their own journal, and then talking all sorts of shit about DU on DU's servers, then linking to their shit-talking on DUs own servers to other sites - and it will quickly become a mess.
I'd even go as far as saying that journals are limited to donating members who have over 5000 posts.

9. For posters who have collections of links and information.. |
|
as well as Toons, photos for protests and posters tightly tied to campaigns, this is also a very practical feature. It will speed up finding and sharing this information quite a bit.

Perhaps it could cut down on the outrageous amounts of "I just got this email, help me reply" or "How do I reply to my co-worker who says" crap.
I mean, it's not crap, but it's flooding the boards by people who do ZERO research of their own.

19. Tend to agree with you re: blogs |
|
99.99% of them are pretty pointless, IMHO. They add little to the debate that hasn't been said, and are mostly background noise.
