Here, I'll start.

We're coming up on the one year anniversary of DU3 and that Chan790 fellow is as bad as Egyptian President Morsi; he's appointed himself some sort of host-dictator. Of 366 possible days he could be a host as of Dec. 11, 2012...he'll have been a host for 301 days.

Also, he's a horse's ass.

And he smells of port cheese and hard cider.

And he turned me into a

...I got better.

12. Just have to tell you...someone actually alerted on your post as a "personal attack"

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Calling our a fellow DUer is not allowed.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Nov 30, 2012, 09:40 PM, and the Jury voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: DU membership $x, calling out yourself while laying down a Monty Python reference...classic. BTW, this is the weakest alert I've ever seen...chill!
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I sincerely hope my fellow jurors actually read the post.

It's a joke, and the poster is making it about HIMSELF.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Read more carefully before alerting. The poster is jokingly talking about himself.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Seems like typical Lounge snarkiness to me.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Uh....he's talking about himself.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.


I was on the jury.

Had to post because it was too funny!

When you criticize yourself... I think that's known as a call-IN -- and there's nothing
in the rulebooks about that yet.

We obviously have work to do to make sure we punish these self-deprecatory trolls
before they make DU suck.

Grim as we wanna be.

Now, we have MIRT which stands for Malicious Intruder Removal Team. They are on duty to ban new trolls, and they are very necessary.

I just did a term with MIRT, and I can tell you I was surprised at how many get in here every day. Not a few are repeat customers.

Long term members with post counts above 100 are dealt with by the Admins.

I was OK on MIRT. Some people were more aggressive about finding out about possible trolls. They would do GOOGLE searches to see if the possible troll had postings on other message boards and like that.

It was very interesting work!

It gave a quick overview without opening the thread again.

I'm sure the changes were necessary.
