2. JeffR used to pay homage to awesome posts by giving them a DUzy.
If you rummage through his journal:
http://journals.democraticunderground.com/JeffR
you can see some past editions.

Welcome to DU!

10. OK, ticking these off......
Making to the Greatest page pre and post rec function.

Someone replying, "nice post, Hitler" to your OP.

Making it to someones ignore list.

Making to someone's buddy list--don't think so

Posting a Late Breaking News story before anyone else--rarely, but yes. Got crapped on for doing it because I couldn't reveal my source (it was Biden's selection as VP last summer--it was NOT from a quotable news source, but a humint source, and I didn't have the all-precious LINK)

Getting 100 or more recs on a story--again rarely, but yes

Being called a freep or a troll--don't think so

Having a post deleted by the mods--again, don't think so

Being cautioned by the mods--nope

Getting a +1 to a sub post--yup

Making it to the DUzy's--yup

1000+ posts--si signore

Being complimented on your sig line--amazingly, yes (pleasant surprise!)

14. I've only had 6 or so of those, I think.
And the one mod caution I got wasn't so much a 'caution' as a 'I deleted that comment just to make sure the flamewar didn't continue, that's all.'

I swear, either I'm just not a very good troublemaker, or I'm just too SUBTLE about it. :P
