10. I know
There have been some threads that aren't "going overboard" attacks though, they just seem to be fewer and fewer lately.

5. And the admin's at DU continue to do nothing. I love posting here, just not lately.
My view is something drastic has to be done, or the members will drop like flies.

This General Discussion: Primaries thing was simply a quick fix that did much to make it worse, and not better.

12. As long as posters follow the rules...
Edited on Fri Jan-25-08 12:22 PM by displacedtexan
... what are the admins supposed to do?

Don't mind me; I'm just confused, I guess.

Edited to add: I alerted the mods when one poster called another a troll. Isn't that
against the rules? Otherwise, I haven't observed any rules violations. Have you?

If so, I'll bet the mods and admins would step in.

15. From what I've seen, too many posters are breaking the rules.
A lot of it goes ignored.

16. Many who don't
aren't seeing their posts deleted or locked even after multiple alerts.

8. Well, either a "war zone" or a typical Internet discussion forum.
When did everyone get thin-skin disease around here?

14. Because some of us like meaningful discussion.
Lies and distortions should have no place here.

Name calling shouldn't either.

18. Well I certainly agree with that, but nobody can force the fanboys and fangirls to comply.
Again, this is all typical of anonymous forums. People can and will act like assholes.

I tend to just ignore them, it's not really that difficult.

13. GD:P was originally created because the 2004 primaries created a war that made GD unbearable

19. Cut the leg to spare the body. At the time of its creation there were some special rules established
whenever you got a post deleted in GD:Primaries you couldn't post there for 24 hrs. Five deletions and you were banned from the forum.
