The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support Forumsdoes anyone else enjoy reading the hidden posts?
For reference, it used to be once a post was hidden, nobody could read it. Now, you can hit "show" and see what is hidden. This serves several purposes. The most important being one can read the offending post and know not to post something like that. But, in a way it is also like opening a fortune cookie. Most of the time the posts are justified in being hidden and are nasty. But, occasionally there are funny ones. Is there something wrong with me?

(8,492 posts)If it's someone I don't care for I can feel sufficiently righteous in my self-righteousness. If it's someone I like, I can be outraged at the unfairness and failure of our DU jurors.
It makes my head explode a little when the poster is someone I dislike and I disagree with the verdict and vice versa.

(3,065 posts)It helps me determine the daily mood on the boards. Some days you can say almost anything and never get alerted; other days people pick fly shit out of pepper and before you know it you're in the doghouse. So yeah, I read them to see if I should bother joining in or just sit back and lurk.

(1,569 posts)No one likes the trolls, but it seems that when one breaks cover and starts spouting RW nonsense, everyone wants into the thread before the pizza is delivered and the thread gets locked. It is sometimes funny, often gruesome, and sometimes so dismal that I wish I hadn't seen it, but it is addictive.
