Yeah, I think a Suspected Troll alert would be too easily and frequently abused.

======================

When someone with a post count in the one or two digit range disagrees with me I admit I do tend to think that.

You can tell who the people generally are, based on the timing of the flags. Experiment a little.


As an EFF supporter, you have to do something seriously wrong for me to flag a post, or sanction a flag.

If a poster only joined within the past few days, has under 10 posts and every one of them makes a point of bashing Ds in one way or another, well, sorry, but I don't think that person is here for the tea and crumpets, let alone an honest discussion. The faster they're alerted on and the sooner they're shitcanned by the admins/MIRT, the better.

Still, with the new "opacity" of the jury system: we don't know who posted the "offensive" note and, of course, how many posts they had, it is hard to know.

I sometimes try to search and find the post and usually am glad that it survived. Mostly, I just cast my vote and forget about it.

Oh, and by the way, I exchanged posts with someone who I thought was new, is not, just got a new username after the calamity and started the counter anew.

Been a whole lotta snark lately around here...

Just daring to ponder what we didn't do that caused the loss, and suggesting what we should do to win next time results in the usual... I must be a troll, a republican... And after I supported Hillary big time before the election. It's pretty sad that people can't actually have constructive debate and dialogue. Anything that upsets anyone in the slightest must be nuked.. It's not good for the site.

he's gone over time and time again. I say, don't waste Skinner's time. Suck it up. Wait and see. Be strong. Grow a pair, you'll need them in the next four years!

The jury has to walk a fine line between division and critical thinking.

Thinking is critical in DU.
