A proposal to change the rules regarding posting in this group [View all] Kaleva Dec 2012 OP

It certainly will help with the new posters who come to disrupt. hrmjustin Dec 2012 #1

It would certainly frustrate the zombies. Kaleva Dec 2012 #4

Agreed atreides1 Dec 2012 #2

No thanks. I feel the same way about this as I do about blocks - we don't need procedures, petronius Dec 2012 #3

usually I agree with you petronius but, I am tired of taking the heat for them and having my Tuesday Afternoon Jan 2013 #103

I'm torn... LP2K12 Dec 2012 #5

While I have a great interest in guns and gun policy... Kaleva Dec 2012 #8

Disagree, but would support guidance for juries that include accusation as "right wing" "NRA troll" jody Dec 2012 #6

Agreed. 100%. AnotherMcIntosh Dec 2012 #51

Boy, knocked that one outta the park! Thanks! Eleanors38 Dec 2012 #62

fucking A got that shit Right!! Tuesday Afternoon Jan 2013 #104

FREEDMOM OF SPEECH! jeepnstein Dec 2012 #7

There was a recently PPR'd member who'd been here since 2003 but had less then 1k posts Kaleva Dec 2012 #13

which means what? gejohnston Dec 2012 #14

Which means a troll can hide for a very long time if they don't post much Kaleva Dec 2012 #15

Well if a troll doesn't post much then they're not much a disruption, are they? OneTenthofOnePercent Dec 2012 #24

If they get PPR'd they caused enough of a problem to attract the attention of Admin. Kaleva Dec 2012 #27

No. Why special rules for this group and not other contentious groups? Clames Dec 2012 #9

Regulars of those groups are free to propose the same thing. Kaleva Dec 2012 #10

You go do that. Clames Dec 2012 #16

I'd like to hear your arguement as to how trolls, zombies, socks and such contribute to discussions. Kaleva Dec 2012 #39

FYI, the I/P group does have special rules RZM Dec 2012 #32

FYI, every group has special set of rules... Clames Dec 2012 #40

Sounds like old DU rules governing "Guns" which I lean toward. Eleanors38 Dec 2012 #63

yeah but, common sense ain't so common any more. Tuesday Afternoon Jan 2013 #105

whatever the Admin say. Tuesday Afternoon Dec 2012 #11

krispos42 suggested I also post it in Meta so it'd be more likely Admin would see it. Kaleva Dec 2012 #12

I think that this is my 12th post. ehrenfeucht games Dec 2012 #17

There's a new pro-gun control group that may be starting up soon. Kaleva Dec 2012 #18

Post removed Post removed Dec 2012 #19

Yes, I read about it a little earlier. I suspect that that one will be more to my tastes. (nt) ehrenfeucht games Dec 2012 #28

Why no restrictions there? 57_TomCat Jan 2013 #133

This is my first post, I guess.... Puha Ekapi Dec 2012 #29

No No welcome to DU my friend. hrmjustin Dec 2012 #31

I think that is the wrong solution Flyboy_451 Dec 2012 #20

Why not just propose what you really want: Anyone who favors the 2nd Amendment should be pop topcan Dec 2012 #21

A person who doesn't break the rules isn't shitcanned. Kaleva Dec 2012 #22

I wish that was true ProgressiveProfessor Dec 2012 #38

How about sticking to the rule of shitcanning those writing about "black control"? Democracyinkind Dec 2012 #36

pop topcan Account status: Posting privileges revoked Kolesar Jan 2013 #101

The admins will have to tweak the software. I kind of doubt they will. nt rrneck Dec 2012 #23

I think it is a stupid idea. chibajoe Dec 2012 #25

I'm a Strong Gun Control Person fightthegoodfightnow Dec 2012 #26

we agree gejohnston Dec 2012 #30

GC/RKBA is the most trashed group and many people refuse to come here for a reason. Kaleva Dec 2012 #33

Perhaps fightthegoodfightnow Dec 2012 #34

Do you have some links to this proposal? Thanx. Eleanors38 Dec 2012 #64

how do they determine who is a troll and who isn't? gejohnston Dec 2012 #42

One would have to ask Admin about how they determine who is a troll or not. Kaleva Dec 2012 #43

I'm not afraid of anything here. Kaleva Jan 2013 #79

you seem to be afraid of new people Dog Gone at Penigma Jan 2013 #80

Why do you insist on repeating yourself? Kaleva Jan 2013 #81

Are you talking about grandfathering in current people before imposing this nonsenes? Dog Gone at Penigma Jan 2013 #83

In response Kaleva Jan 2013 #84

Examples don't quantify the problem Dog Gone at Penigma Jan 2013 #85

The only people I have to convince is Admin. Kaleva Jan 2013 #87

I sincerely hope they do not. 57_TomCat Jan 2013 #137

Making it easy for trolls to post here in GC/RKBA doesn't improve the discussion IMO. Kaleva Jan 2013 #113

true but gejohnston Jan 2013 #114

However, as I pointed out in the OP, many avoid GC/RKBA now because of its reputation Kaleva Jan 2013 #115

If Admin says he was a gun troll, then he was a gun troll. Kaleva Jan 2013 #118

Trolls are a problem, but worse is the foul stuff dumped on pro-2A Eleanors38 Jan 2013 #119

It bears repeating: you are posting pro gun messages on a progressive liberal democratic forum. Warren Stupidity Jan 2013 #120

read the TOS gejohnston Jan 2013 #121

The TOS has to do with who gets evicted, why posts get hidden has to with Warren Stupidity Jan 2013 #123

Don't think so, gejohnston Jan 2013 #128

Think whatever you want. Warren Stupidity Jan 2013 #129

I expect less hatred from liberals. Controllers do not dictate what is or is not liberal. Eleanors38 Jan 2013 #122

You do get less hatred here. Over there you would get one post. Warren Stupidity Jan 2013 #124

Did that happen to you? Eleanors38 Jan 2013 #125

Why don't you try it? Warren Stupidity Jan 2013 #130

Controllers control and dictators dictate. tama Jan 2013 #127

Ah yes du is a fartress of fascism. Warren Stupidity Jan 2013 #131

I perceive this as discussion forum, not fortress. tama Jan 2013 #132

We all lose contenance as well, but we don't (hopefully) make a lifestyle of it, Eleanors38 Jan 2013 #139

It is good to stay aware tama Jan 2013 #140

No one's forcing you to post NRA talking points on a progressive discussion board. apocalypsehow Jan 2013 #145

while I agree with the overall objectives of this request... mike_c Jan 2013 #126
