Is this how it works?

I wonder how many posters who say they are "not whining" Tanuki Jan 2014 #1

Unlike NSA spying or ACA, the gender issue is very personal and sometimes painful, and.... NYC_SKP Jan 2014 #2
Alert stalkers? NoOneMan Jan 2014 #3
That was absolutely ridiculous. Comrade Grumpy Jan 2014 #6
Well that's another thing too. A DUer posts something and others come along and Cleita Jan 2014 #8
It certainly makes DU a hostile place NoOneMan Jan 2014 #12

If it weren't for that particular poster's history of tasteless, offensive "jokes" NuclearDem Jan 2014 #13
Still doesn't change the fact that context has meaning and words Cleita Jan 2014 #14

Good and thoughtful post. Cleita Jan 2014 #4
Good! I was typing as fast as I could.... NYC_SKP Jan 2014 #5
Hidden posts does seem to be the object for some. RC Jan 2014 #7
Gosh,this thread sure went from innocent question sufrommich Jan 2014 #9
No one is bashing DUers. It's an honest discussion of the possibility of alert trolls. Cleita Jan 2014 #34
Post #7 takes the OP out of context and perverts it's meaning. sufrommich Jan 2014 #56
You don't have to wonder, do the math! snooper2 Jan 2014 #10
Doesn't matter. DU is so overrun by imbedded trolls, statistics would be meaningless. onehandle Jan 2014 #11

There is a ton of bad faith alerting going on in those threads quinnox Jan 2014 #15
Alerts need to have user names attached to them. Comrade Grumpy Jan 2014 #17
The admins know, so those who are playing games with the alerting can be found out quinnox Jan 2014 #19
What would you replace it with? Cleita Jan 2014 #21
Not sure - maybe bring back mods or, maybe a free for all quinnox Jan 2014 #23
I've participated in free for all boards and it ends up with all the Cleita Jan 2014 #29
I'm not sure. All I know is you are going to see a DU bloodbath with lots of duers frozen out quinnox Jan 2014 #47
I agree with that. Some of them are already arriving on this thread. n/t Cleita Jan 2014 #57
Skinner seems to disagree. FSogol Jan 2014 #229
That is fine, I respect his opinion. I think it will be interesting to watch and see what happens quinnox Jan 2014 #454
I've seen this as well Boudica the Lyoness Jan 2014 #157
To date, has this phenomemon of "alert-stalking" been confirmed? Orrex Jan 2014 #25
yep, I had it confirmed, personally quinnox Jan 2014 #27
How? Orrex Jan 2014 #28
Post 19 confirms it Capt. Obvious Jan 2014 #33
Confirms it how? Orrex Jan 2014 #44
I think if a member constantly responds to your posts by attacking you and not or barely seaglass Jan 2014 #65
Fair enough, but simply replying does not constitute stalking, correct? Orrex Jan 2014 #183
I sure as shit hope you don't mean this one, pal. PeaceNikki Jan 2014 #151
4-2. Some think 5-1 constitutes alert trolling Major Nikon Jan 2014 #233
"Some"? Really? Stay on topic. That post I was referring to was textbook disruption. PeaceNikki Jan 2014 #234
So are a lot of the posts around here which don't get hidden Major Nikon Jan 2014 #243
In context as a reply to someone claiming to be a "victim"? No. PeaceNikki Jan 2014 #248
Perhaps Major Nikon Jan 2014 #261
Skinner confirmed that there aren't as many alerts as you'd like to think. PeaceNikki Jan 2014 #263
6:1 ratio on alerts vs hides Major Nikon Jan 2014 #271
ugh, really... look again "The alert stalking claim is bogus." PeaceNikki Jan 2014 #273
That's the post I was referring to Major Nikon Jan 2014 #278
You did? William769 Jan 2014 #196
It exists. hrmjustin Jan 2014 #96
That's anecdote. Orrex Jan 2014 #134
Yes it is anecdotal but I have gotten complaints. hrmjustin Jan 2014 #139
Here's a question: Orrex Jan 2014 #152
No. If a post is hidden it is because 4 to 6 people said hide it. hrmjustin Jan 2014 #189
We have received the official confirmation Orrex Jan 2014 #209
He knows more than I. I can only say what I get told and shown. hrmjustin Jan 2014 #218
Skinner's response on alert stalking: tammywammy Jan 2014 #158
Skinner is totally stalking me. Orrex Jan 2014 #173
ATA: Skinner: "The alert stalking claim is bogus." Cerridwen Jan 2014 #171
Don't put words in the Admins mouths. Skinner said it's bogus. PeaceNikki Jan 2014 #162
More than that, there should be consequences for frivolous alerting. n/t Egalitarian Thug Jan 2014 #20
That could be something to think about. Cleita Jan 2014 #24
Same here, it has to be completely obvious for me to bother. OTOH, I've been on dozens of juries Egalitarian Thug Jan 2014 #31
How might we police "frivolous alerting?" Orrex Jan 2014 #51
Developing a system to find and track this behavior would be very simple. n/t Egalitarian Thug Jan 2014 #69
"this behavior" Orrex Jan 2014 #122
The admins can track alert stats. They've said multiple times there's no serial alerters. n/t tammywammy Jan 2014 #137
There already is jberryhill Jan 2014 #125
Well, that would seem to solve the problem entirely. Orrex Jan 2014 #143
One would think so jberryhill Jan 2014 #146
yep, or limit alerts to one a week or something, not unlimited quinnox Jan 2014 #26

Jury members have the ability xulamaude Jan 2014 #60
Yes because some men presume to tell women how to feel about these issues... VanillaRhapsody Jan 2014 #30
I see a lot of that as some men presuming to give opinions polly7 Jan 2014 #32
they ARE telling them how to feel...do not fool yourself into thinking otherwise... VanillaRhapsody Jan 2014 #37

then do not talk to me like I am one.... VanillaRhapsody Jan 2014 #232
I think if you'd take the time to read the responses of men polly7 Jan 2014 #236
I don't NEED to know what they think about my place in the world VanillaRhapsody Jan 2014 #239
We all live with some unfairness, in one form or another. polly7 Jan 2014 #245
