Please remember to hit alert

[yardwork]

When somebody posts something horrible, don't respond - that just kicks the thread. Hit the alert button at the bottom left of the post and the mods will take care of it. Please, don't feed the trolls.

5. I know

This isn't LBN and it will be deleted as is appropriate.

Meantime, some of us just about had a heart attack a minute ago reading probably the worst thing I've ever seen.

I wanted to remind people while it's still fresh in their minds.

[Placebo]

7. I agree.

The world is a sick sad place.

[Warpy]

9. I was one of the alerts, thanks for the quick work

I just want to know how he managed to get 10 other posts before getting nailed.

[Nothing Without Hope]

20. I'm glad you thought of it. I just alerted as fast as I could. n/t

[BrklynLiberal]

21. I must have hit alert 10 times...I was in a panic!!!

[yardwork]

27. I was in a panic too - I didn't know what else to do after I hit alert!

[Dookus]

28. you shouldn't alert repeatedly

on the same post. It's not like it rings a bell in the Mods lounge and they might not have heard the first one.

It sends an email. One email is enough to get a mod's attention. 10 of them just clogs up the inbox.

3. Thanks. I just did my first "Alert" a few seconds ago...

Geez, some pretty disgusting stuff it was too.

[Zynx]

13. Again, what was it?

Goatsex??

[GiovanniC]

16. Tubgirl?

[Liberty Belle]

4. I alerted, too. That's the worst thing I've ever seen posted.

[JohnLocke]

6. What was it?

[salin]

8. agreed

just shows how deep the holes in the souls are of some folks on the other side.

[Zynx]

11. What was it?

Was trolling FR at the time.

[yardwork]

14. Let's just say that one of them was trolling here

[Nothing Without Hope]

25. Take it as a kindness that the good people here haven't told you

It was more than malicious, it was soullessly cruel. There was nothing in it that would benefit or inform you in any way.

[Nothing Without Hope]

10. That's exactly what I did. Fortunately they acted quickly.

It's counterproductive to show hurt or anger -- that's what they are after.

Let's hear it for the guardian mods:

12. Thank you mods! That was quick work!

You can delete this thread now - I'll alert on my own thread. Thanks for letting this stay up for few minutes.

Edit: They moved it instead of locking. Thank you again, mods!

[NVMojo]

17. how is it that this jerk keeps coming back? do we have IP blocking

capability on DU? I know that if a jerk wanted, they can use more than one computer ...but it would seem that if IP blocking was used, eventually it becomes problematic to post here for someone...

[BeHereNow]

34. Cowards run in packs.

One gets banned, they send another in.
None of them would have the nerve to say it alone.
don't worry, they will go down with those of us they
now ridicule and we will have the last laugh.
As if their monkey king gave a shit about them either.
Old Chinese proverb, paraphrased:

"I sit on the bank of the river.
Sooner or later, I see the bodies of my enemies float by.
They did not listen when I warned them of the poisonous
leaves of the oleander tree that grew there."
Trust me, just sit on the banks and watch.

[Endangered Specie]

15. That is good advice.

Thanks to all you who alerted (50+ in all).

[yardwork]

18. Thank you, Endangered Specie!

That was amazingly quick work.

[Nothing Without Hope]

22. Thanks, ES! Comforting to know you are watching.

Whoever had the idea of putting in the alert feature, here's another grateful pat on the back. And another for you.

Be well.
:hi: O8)

[Stand and Fight]

23. No problem...

Glad to see that the headache was neutralized so quickly!

:toast:

[Journeyman]

19. Hit alert, then put the offender on "Ignore". . .

that'll remove them from your screen until the Mods can delete 'em from the System. . . makes life far more pleasant.

[genieroze]

24. I disagree, hear me out.

When you leave nasty posts up it shows just how asinine these Reich Wingers are. Now, I'm not saying to allow them to post, just remove their privileges to post. When they get nasty responses and can't respond back, I think it would drive them nuts. I think these people are funny as heck. Unless it was so bad, vulgar, violent, gross etc... that it would affect the majority, I say leave it. Maybe I'm wrong, don't flame me it was just a suggestion. It's DU's board and they can run it as they see fit. I'm just a poster, and it drives me nuts to see deleted messages. What did they say, darn it, I missed it. Maybe you can start a read only deleted message group, so we can see what they said. lol
:shrug:

[yardwork]

26. Trust me on this. You would not have wanted to read this post.

I'm sorry I read it. Seriously. It was horrible.

[catgirl]

29. Hey

Can you e-mail me w/ the name of the bad poster?
I just hit alert on another thread & wonder if it is
the same person. He was totally offensive in a sexist way.

[yardwork]

30. I don't remember the posters name - sorry

I'm sure that their other posts are long-gone. This was a sicko, not a garden variety disruptor.

[OneMoreDemocrat]

31. I agree.............

It's hard to believe people like that exist.

[Nothing Without Hope]

32. If you had seen it you would understand

and you would be sickened. I've PM'd you to explain.

Like old Cicero wrote, "It is as hard for the good to suspect evil, as it is for the bad to suspect good."

[SoCalDem]

33. What happens is that they brag to their pals, and they all come here

to join in..

Best advice.. alert...ignore thread..
Never EVER post a reply..

An "ignored" troll is an unhappy troll :)
