ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Accusing a fellow DUer of being a paid disruptor has always been treated as a personal attack here.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Apr 21, 2016, 12:54 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I see know accusation. Leave it.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The first poster made the comment about payed posts, not this one. This person was just questioning something without focusing on someone specific.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Bad alert. Perhaps you should alert on the OP.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

(14,689 posts)There have been constant accusations that a certain new poster is a reincarnation of a PPR'd DU'er. They have explicitly made the accusation, but now are being coy about it.

Not a lot of professional-level postings here at DU.

(67,413 posts)that is so full of people whose opinions will not be swayed by a few posts or a few threads. money for that sort of thing would be better spent on facebook and twitter where everything ever posted is absolutely true lol

(14,689 posts)I think in the spirit of transparency, they should say if they are a paid staffer. However, DU isn't going to partake in a vetting process to determine who is or isn't allowed to post on behalf of a candidate.
