Reply #6: I think we need to juice up the DU rules a bit ?

Here's what they state (emphasis mine):

Constructive criticism of Democrats or the Democratic Party is permitted. When doing so, please keep in mind that most of our members come to this website in order to get a break from the constant attacks in the media against our candidates and our values. Highly inflammatory or divisive attacks that echo the tone or substance of our political opponents are not welcome here.

You are not permitted to use this message board to work for the defeat of the Democratic Party nominee for any political office. If you wish to work for the defeat of any Democratic candidate in any General Election, then you are welcome to use someone else's bandwidth on some other website.

Democratic Underground may not be used for political, partisan, or advocacy activity by supporters of any political party or candidate other than the Democratic Party or Democratic candidates. Supporters of certain other political parties may use Democratic Underground for limited partisan activities in political races where there is no Democratic Party candidate.

The first paragraph is simple, yet the second specifies General Election, not considering to run/declared candidates. I'd like to see that changed to PERSONAL ATTACKS TOWARDS ANY DEMOCRAT, period. In my perfect DU world, we'd just get all pissy over important issues and beating Republicans, not each other.

Maybe a troll ratings system might work ?
