Group Host - Please read re SOP And Alerting hosts

This discussion thread is pinned.


Please see the below alert. I've had three now - from the same individual. We don't take a heavy handed approach with regular members or those who join with positive intent.

Please address your issue on the thread. The topic is extremely relevant to this group and our supporters.

The Topic is alert stalking.

Please note too - bravenak who received a letter at her home referring to alert stalking of her - has had this same issue at DU.

Just stop. Bravenak is a host of this group and we are hurting for her and other people this has happened to.

Stop.

ABOUT THIS ALERT

As a forum Host it is your duty to ensure that threads meet the forum's Statement of Purpose. You are empowered to lock threads which you believe do not meet the Statement of Purpose.



This one is interesting as I made clear on July 1 that we would allow Meta.

Please note the person who sent this has had FOUR posts in the group since January 1, 2015 - and they all took place on July 1 - again questioning "Meta".

The actual disruptor is the person who only shows up when it's convenient and isn't there when the chips are down.


How could we possibly lock Kurska's thread?

It is tone deaf and blind to ignore the fact that 1Strong was a host of the group.


Who/What is the disruptor here?

I'm begging the person who sent this - TRASH OUR GROUP.

The only tool they know how to use is the alert system to silence other voices. Did they really think the hosts were unaware of the threads? If the hosts want them gone they could have been nuked at any point. This is beyond stupid.

You were in on that discussion on July 1.

We were both clear as day. I can't even believe this was attempted. *smdh*

We, for different reasons, are constantly reminded of "our place." It really brings home the point how we have to stand together, because when we don't, we are easy pickings. It is just a shame it is from people who claim to be "on our side." Personally, you and the others are doing a commendable job at handling the onslaught. The collective strength of the group is commendable.

I have a kid across country that needs surgery next month. I just started checking out airline tickets and rental cars. 4 blocks should cover most of it if I go cheap. 8 if I want 1st class.

You have to swear to love the Corporate Oligarch Plutocrats.

Next - you have to give a blood oath to The Family.

Then - you have to flip a table - chair throwing is not a substitution.

Finally when you've done all of these things you have to dance naked around stones in Inverness Scotland.

If you use jazz hands and remember to point your toes - you get the job.

PS - a binder full of women can be used as a substitute for any of these as can pro creating with a bankster.

Now get out there and get to oligarching!

black folks from sun up to sun down whining about how they've been banned here and how that's all because of their support for Sanders over Hillary.

Nothing WHATSOEVER about their hateful, disruptive asshattery some of which has been going on and has been documented with dozens of saved links FOR YEARS. Even newbies here who weren't around during the Prop 8 stuff know what's up which makes all of the protestations so precious and adorable.

as per his post in this thread http://www.democraticunderground.com/118752506

where he noted that black voters are smart and informed and the ones that weren't voted for Hillary. He eventually self-deleted but not until at least six different posters informed him of how stupid, offensive and ignorant his comment was.
