You may remember Cobb from when he attempted to set this up last year in Leith, North Dakota–particularly the part where he went on TV and had his DNA tested on a talk show only to discover that he was not quite as purely “white” as he thought, and that in fact his genetic profile was 86 percent European and 14 percent sub-Saharan African. Whoops!
Still, Cobb has kept the dream alive. Although the residents of Leith chased him out, he has new plans to turn the town of Antler, North Dakota into an Aryan paradise with only white people allowed....
Woman who started pool fight placed on leave
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/06/10/1392082/-Woman-Involved-in-Starting-McKinney-Pool-Fight-Placed-on-Administrative-Leave-by-CoreLogic-IncWhile the primary focus of the incident in McKinney, TX has been calling for the termination of now resigned Corporal Eric Casebolt, Twitter launched an impromptu campaign to identify the two women confirmed to have made racist comments that led to the fight and the police being called in the first place. The video begins with an adult white woman and what appears to be a much younger African American girl locked in a fight, with each holding the others hair attempting to throw punches. A group of black teens initially act as observers but eventually try to separate the two. Another woman, now known as Tracey-Carver Allbritton, at first seems to be trying to break up the fight, but quickly decides to start throwing punches to the top of the younger girls head. After a few seconds the fight is broken up and both parties go their separate ways.

One thing the last couple days has shown me is how many here do not understand how DU's moderating system works.
Or how to protest what they see as unfairness, whether it is banning or not banning a poster, hiding or not hiding a post, locking or not locking a thread. There are ways to protest that help, and ways that just cause more problems.
Protest what you see as unfairness, whether is is a poster, a post, a lock, a hide. We need to continue to provide input into DU, but please, please, try to do it in a way that causes fewer issues, not create more.
Let me make it simple.
1) At the bottom of EVERY page on DU is a Contact link. That is the best way to contact Admin, or use Ask the Admin forum if you do not mind your questions/comments becoming public once they answer there. Posting in other forums will not get a message to them as they, like the rest of us, do not read everything here. Notice how little they post? Don't assume they would read anything except that which is sent directly to them.
2) DU no longer has Moderators named that. They do, however, have a moderating system.

Question submitted by uppityperson
How to notify MIRT about a potential MI, troll
If you see a troll, a MI, or serve on a jury and think MIRT should get notice you have a couple options to let them know.
1. If a post is hidden by 4/3 or more of a jury and the poster has under 100 posts, MIRT will get notice. If a post is not hidden, they will not. If the vote is Leave, MIRT will NOT get notice.
Simply writing in the comments things like this and leaving will not necessarily get notice to MIRT unless enough others vote to hide or someone sends a team member a pm.
"If it's a troll leaving then the troll will be dealt with by MIRT."
2. Send a MIR team member a message. There is always a link to the current team in Announcements forum.
Thank you.
ETA, MIRT takes care of those under 100 posts so for those worried about trying to get rid of long term DUers, that is up to Admin.
