Reply #50: Why not hang around for a while and see how it works. Freepers [View All]

log on - have low posts and then get booted off. We welcome all new DUers. But we have a right to be wary.

I don't know what you are talking about - I pointed out today the really low post count of the pro gun thread. I've noticed that is a pattern of pro-gun threads. I know nothing about the people who posted..just that like always - a good portion of the people who posted for the guns had very low thread histories.

Freepers, like anyone, hang in groups. I don't think it is in-appropriate to point out the "newbie" posters on certain topics. The rates of newbies to non newbies... when it is already an established pattern that certain posts show this pattern. With Gun threads..the low post history DUers are usually "for the gun". Often someone with 15 posts will be leading the thread.

Nobody says you cannot do that. But - we'd have to be fools not to be wary of people until they have invested a bit of time at the DU. And then they can come up with rules.

We also welcome new DUers all the time.

Hang around for a while and you'll get the ebb and flow of freepers, low post count DUers, welcomes to low poster DUers. ETc.

What is the link to the post where you were so questioned by the way?
