In what context?

I'll let others chime in, I could be wrong.

Hmmmm... Technically I was only commenting on the total count of jury removals, not about the posts or their contents.

I suppose we'll see how the wheels of the DU moderation rule on this little gambit at some point.

All up to juries, as you know.

amazing idnit?

I've served on a couple of them and I've never had a reason to vote for removal. Although I sided with the minority 50% of the time. Is that percentage based on how closely you pick the winning outcome or something?

I think we just checked into Hotel California

Information on my Transparency page is currently not displayed to other logged-in members because I have had fewer than five posts hidden by Jury in the last 90 days.

My posts hidden by Jury in the last 90 days: 0
Days since last hidden post: 784

when I commented to the same person. Since she is one of the golden ones around here, she skirts the rules and uses sarcasm as much as she wants.

If this gets hidden, so be it.

Much depends on the jury. But IMO, some people are treated with more deference than others.

I have seen things left here that if were said to me would get hidden.

Thanks for dredging up that painful memory...

be humorless things...

I do think I still hold the record for the most hides in the least amount of time. IIRC, I got nine hides in less than an hour.

open my DU mailbox. Even had to put tape on my monitor to hide that taunting and fearsome yellow banner...

But what I REALLY loved was the IBM Selectric with an erase tape.

Epic battles of the century. For real.

I deliberately used a naughty word in order to go through the process once, just to have experienced it. It was oddly satisfying.

Of course I don't know how many failed alerts I've had.

I quit serving on juries.

Coincidence?

I think not.

People should consider this a PSA and update their jury blacklists accordingly. Might as well remove my name since I can't be called for some ~70 days. This will open up a slot for other possibilities depending on how one plays the game.

Your welcome.

I earned a hide for posting the Throbbing Gristle song Slug Bait about year and a half ago. It's a toe tapper. I may have had another hide.

THIS is Cute-thulhu ...

And second that "None."

And pretty much all of those recent ones were bullshit hides, so I don't think that really counts, honestly.

I have seen bullshit censorship hides but mine have always been for crossing the line and wishing people would go fuck themselves or die and shit like that.

IBTL

We're all adults here.

Stop with the alerts and hides.

I called someone a "poopyhead". Can't allow that sort of language on DU!

I called a troll a troll. He was banned as a troll soon after.

*IBTL.

I don't know if any have been alerted on, but if they have they weren't hidden.

I think it's because I mostly post in threads that have something funny in them and I laugh all the time.

And then if it doesn't "qualify" for the jury censor panel for whatever reason, we get to see the names of all members who alerted the post!

This would all but eliminate frivolous alerts.

I had ripped into a (later-banned) poster, and called them 'Thatcher'.

That's the only individual post I've had removed, though I was involved in a few 'deleted sub-threads' on DU2.

they are visible if you click on them and you are free to start a new post in more civil way if that was the problem. some are bullshit and I know some people are targeted, but mine have been mostly deserved (a couple weren't and a couple were just totally worth it )

I was keeping track back when you could still see how many people were ignoring you but haven't updated that in my "about" section in a while. I think there have been a couple or 3 more, so at least 8 or 10.

I've had posts deleted, back in the old days before juries.

And it was against an obvious troll

*major pouting*

Thank you.

I wonder if that's a record? It's the only post I've ever had hidden, or even called to trial.

I didn't care. They're all so full of themselves in there.

Those terrible terrible women always keeping the mens down.

much less remember or care enough to post about it months later.

in the group but rather the forum 'host' despises my criticism of the apartheid state of israel.

I care to guess I'm an older gay than most in that group.

Actually, none. My "one" was on LGBT.... before there were juries. A poster.... control-freakish, pc-esque, authoritarian-type..... couldn't understand what the post was about.

She bullied the moderator into "suspending" the OP. I was supposed to reword it or something but didn't bother.

at me.

AFAIK

I think I had a post pulled once, but that was back in like DU1 days. PUI.

...the benefit of a doubt.

Movie Lyrics | Stage Lyrics
GEE, OFFICER KRUPKE

TIGER (spoken)
(imitating Officer Krupke)
Hey, you!

RIFF (spoken)
Me, Officer Krupke?

TIGER (spoken)
(as Krupke)
Yeah, you! Gimme one good reason
For not draggin’ ya down to the
Stationhouse, ya punk.

RIFF (sings)
Dear kindly Sergeant Krupke,
Ya gotta understand--
It’s just our bringin’ upke
That gets us outta hand.
Our mothers all are junkies,
Our fathers all are drunks.
Golly Moses -- natcherly we’re punks.

ALL
Gee, Officer Krupke, we’re very upset;
We never had the love that every
Child oughta get.
We ain’t no delinquents,
We’re misunderstood.
Deep down inside us there is good!

RIFF
There is good!

ALL
There is good, there is good,
There is untapped good.
Like inside, the worse of us is good.

TIGER (imitating Krupke)
That’s a touchin’ good story.

RIFF
Lemme tell it to the world!

TIGER (imitating Krupke)
Just tell it to the Judge.

RIFF (**to Snowboy)
Dear kindly Judge, your Honor,
My parents treat me rough.
With all their marijuana,
They won’t give me a puff.
They didn’t wanna have me,
But somehow I was had.
Leapin’ lizards --that’s what I’m so bad!

SNOWBOY (imitating a Judge)
Right!
Officer Krupke, you’re really a square;
This boy don’t need a judge, he
Needs a analysis’s care!
It’s just his neurosis that oughta be curbed--
**He’s psychologically disturbed.

RIFF
I’m disturbed!

ALL
We’re disturbed, we’re disturbed,
We’re the most disturbed,
Like we’re psychologically disturbed.

SNOWBOY (still acting part of Judge)(spoken)
Hear ye, Her ye! In the opinion
Of this court, this child is
Depraved on account he ain’t had a normal home.

RIFF (spoken)
Hey, I’m depraved on account I’m deprived!

SNOWBOY (as judge - spoken)
So take him to a headshrinker.

RIFF (to Action)(sings)
My Daddy beats my Mommy,
My Mommy clobbers me,
My Grandpa is a Commie,
My Grandma pushes tea.
My sister wears a mustache,
My brother wears a dress.
Goodness Gracious, that’s why I’m a mess!

ACTION (as psychiatrist)
Yes!
Officer Krupke, he shouldn’t be here.
This boy don’t need a couch, he needs
A useful career.
Society’s played him a terrible trick,
And sociologically he’s sick!

RIFF
I am sick!

ALL
We are sick, we are sick,
We are sick sick sick
Like we’re sociologically sick!

ACTION (speaks as psychiatrist)
In my opinion, this child does not need
To have his head shrunk at all.
Juvenile delinquency is purely a
Social disease.

RIFF (spoken)
Hey, I got a social disease!

ACTION (spoken as psychiatrist)
So take him to a social worker!

RIFF (to ARAB)(sings)
Dear kindly social worker,
They tell me get a job,
Like be a soda-jerker,
Which means like be a slob.
It’s not I’m anti-social,
I’m only anti-work.
Gloryosky, that’s why I’m a jerk!

ARAB (as social worker)
Eek!
Officer Krupke, you’ve done it again.
This boy don’t need a job, he needs a
Year in the pen.
It ain’t just a question of misunderstood;
Deep down inside him, he’s no good!

RIFF
I’m no good!

ALL
We’re no good, we’re no good,
We’re no earthly good,
Like the best of us is no damn good!

SNOWBOY
The trouble is he’s lazy.

JOYBOY
The trouble is he drinks

BABY JOHN
The trouble is he’s crazy.

ARAB
The trouble is he stinks,

MOUTHPIECE
The trouble is he’s growing.

ACTION
The trouble is he’s grown!

ALL
Krupke, we got troubles of our own!
Gee, Officer Krupke,
We’re down on our knees.
‘Cause no one wants a fella with
A social disease.
Gee, Officer Krupke,
What are we to do?
Gee, Officer Krupke --
Krup you!

I'm distoibed!!!

Her post was alerted on and hidden. Sid Dithers then cut and pasted that post and it was in turn alerted on and hidden. I followed suit knowing full well what was going to happen.

I've been a good boy ever since.

I did not realize that the common female canine designation is not permitted here and used it to describe Ann Coulter. I was quite surprised.

Geez...I've been called way worse and just "Took" it.

I realize the word is highly offensive to some but a simple No-No would have been sufficient.

...I could have understood. I maintain my opinion that if anyone personifies the type of person to whom that noun is typicslly applied, it is certainly Ms. Coulter.

When it comes to her, I'd add a few more nasty words to her description.

I agree with you...Jury or not.

...modify that noun were ..."patholgically cold-hearted."

I did not choose my words carefully and have to agree with the lock in retrospect. That was a long time ago.

Most times, if I feel I can't remark without someone taking offense, or if I feel too emotionally charged, I'll take the easy way out and just trash the thread. Out of sight, out of mind.

One here being a fairly tasteless joke about the BOG, which in retrospect, deserved the hide. The other here being a post where I didn't add a graphic warning.

Three over at Discussionist were telling racists and homophobes where they could shove it.

I said something nasty about the subject (I think it was zimmerman) and the poster thought I said it about her. I was not clear, as the jury hid it!

I apologized to the poster.

All but one in the Religion forum. I have discovered that atheists can make bigoted statements about religion, but for a non-atheist to say "this is a bigoted statement" is unacceptable.

WTF!?!
