To my knowledge, there is no available list to show what sites are acceptable and what sites are not. That was certainly an overzealous alerter and jury. As far as I'm concerned, you don't owe anyone an apology.

The jury was wrong, there's nothing wrong with using a RW source if the story is valid. NYC_SKP Sep 2014 #4

You beat me to it. + infinity stevenleser Sep 2014 #10

Sometimes I can't believe there are enough idiots on DU to do things like that Warpy Sep 2014 #54

There have been times that I've tried to find a Non-RW source for a story or video clip, and failed. NYC_SKP Sep 2014 #55

Some of us think that using RW sources is "intellectual laziness". PeaceNikki Sep 2014 #56

Big (((hug))) NYC_SKP Sep 2014 #57

back atcha PeaceNikki Sep 2014 #62

Sure hope you get through this... Agschmid Sep 2014 #60

I've been here for ten years and I don't recall ever seeing a listing of 'banned sites". postulater Sep 2014 #6

Never saw it either! mylye2222 Sep 2014 #7

There is no list of banned sites. That was a bad hide because it was a factual story. Autumn Sep 2014 #8

I dont mind that much you know. . mylye2222 Sep 2014 #11

I think if people don't like a source nothing is stopping them from finding another source Autumn Sep 2014 #13

I have that list but it is no longer in use. NYC_SKP Sep 2014 #30

Yes. Is tgat the one board mylye2222 Sep 2014 #33

Yup. NYC_SKP Sep 2014 #39

Not only sad lives. mylye2222 Sep 2014 #51

That was one of the more ridiculous hides I have ever seen. stevenleser Sep 2014 #9

It was to townhall...nt SidDithers Sep 2014 #58

I voted to hide. It wasn't personal. And if admins would make locking BS RW sites part of hosts' job PeaceNikki Sep 2014 #12

That's what I was looking for. You must have the list. postulater Sep 2014 #14

As I said, "Click on the site's homepage and take 15 seconds to glance around." PeaceNikki Sep 2014 #17

Thanks, I'll look at that. postulater Sep 2014 #19

Are those sites vetted and the ones under the left wing tab would be good sites? Autumn Sep 2014 #22

If you have a hard time recognizing obvious RW BS, that's a shame. PeaceNikki Sep 2014 #28

Please cite the particular DU rule that backs up your vote to hide the post. NYC_SKP Sep 2014 #32

Community standards. PeaceNikki Sep 2014 #35

In other words, you got nothin'. NYC_SKP Sep 2014 #36

lol, kthxbai! PeaceNikki Sep 2014 #37

It's a violation of community standards. Gormy Cuss Sep 2014 #38

That's why the jury system is bullshit. There are no rules, just emotions. NYC_SKP Sep 2014 #42

Community standards are however our current "rules" Gormy Cuss Sep 2014 #43

You linked the site and I just asked if the sites listed had been vetted. Autumn Sep 2014 #45

It's a Wiki page. Are you relatively new to the internet? There is research and links with PeaceNikki Sep 2014 #50

No I'm not new to the internet. I have seen some posters say that Wiki Autumn Sep 2014 #52

Neat! PeaceNikki Sep 2014 #53

I'm eternally grateful that you are here to protect us from ideas hootinholler Sep 2014 #64

I thought he was asking for DU banned website list? notadmblnd Sep 2014 #34

I'd imagine a collective effort to collate the obvious would be rather simple LanternWaste Sep 2014 #18

Yep. That could be a powerfull solution nt. mylye2222 Sep 2014 #44
