Here's a good example of some of the fun that can be had reading the ATA forum:

How often do you check for sock puppets? I have suspected, after each TSing, when someone with a very, very low post count begins posting similar posts - similar subject matter, same times of the day & same days of the week - that they are often a sock puppet.
Just curious.
Edit: For Spelling.

1. We check every day.
But we don't check everyone. We only check to see if someone might be a sockpuppet if we have reason to believe they might be.

2. Ok
Hopefully, I am wrong about one particular "spammer" in the Lounge.
It is rather interesting, that one person I am thinking of seems to have the same exact posting patterns (non-stop, it seems, except for Sunday afternoons)... just like a former DUer. Maybe it's just an odd coincidence.
Anyway, thank you for your answer.

3. Click "Alert" on one of their posts...
...and tell your concerns to the moderators. If they believe the concern has merit, they will look into it.

4. Thanks
Already sent an email to an Admin (don't remember which of you, sorry). Mainly, because the poster is so annoying (in an incessant, requires a need-to-log-in-just-to-see-page-two, way). Possibly, that DUer checked out (as NOT being a sock puppet), at that time, I don't know.
In the "old days", that thread would have been a flame-war, with accusations of who Haole Girl is claiming to be a sockpuppet. Good old ATA, free comedy gold.

The DUchebags are the type of people that would have turned in Anne Frank.

Why are posts allowed in GD (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=437x67)
which are stared for the sole purpose of bashing Christians - all Christians? I know there are forums designed specifically for that purpose, but GD is used on a regular basis. I have never seen a thread begun by DU Christians for the pupose of bashing atheists in ANY forum, and I'm quite sure that it would be locked or moved idf there was one.
The thread below is the most recent example.

1. We do not permit posts in GD that are started for the sole purpose of bashing Christians.
For future reference, I do not appreciate when people ask questions that start with "Why do you..." and then end with some sort of accusation of bad faith. The accusation of bias in favor of atheists, and against Christians, is also not appreciated. Please read the section entitled "Helpful Hints" in this pinned thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...
For more information about the post you reference in your question, please see this thread:

This forum is also helpful in revealing what a freaking tool that $kimmer is.

I guess the most common answer will likely be "Shut up" by the sounds.

Oops -didn't see your message before I posted it in the ATA thread. That Skammer is a real piece of work.

That is funny. It doesn't look like this person started with "why do you" now did they? I think Skinner is being a bit defensive, huh? With good reason.

Hell, I thought the most asked question would be, "My butt's cracked! Which one of you super dooper Admins is goin' t fix it? I wait with bated breath for your answer!"!

Awesome thread!

Do those people sit around and write down the times that all the "suspicious" members post to see their posting patterns? That's how I read it. Get a life.

New forum?
Edited on Wed Oct-13-10 04:54 PM by Phoonzang
Dear Admins, can we have a UFO forum please? People have been suggesting it for years now. It's disturbing to see threads like the ones on the conference at the National Press Club featuring military personnel discussing UFO incidents at nuclear missile sites relegated to the 9/11 forum. We get it...someone is trying to show their disdain for the subject (despite the fact that the aforementioned story was covered by every major news network). Fine...don't want to hear about it in Latest Breaking or GD? Then why not put the threads in their own forum.
Surely if there's a forum for Birders and Motor scooters there can be one for an "inane" subject like UFOs. One that for some reason many people are interested in and don't dismiss out of hand.

1. I don't think we are going to do this. Updated at 1:48 PM
Sorry.
Awwwww, the poor thing not getting his forum.

Is this going to be the official thread for the Ask the Admin forum at DU? just want to make sure so I don't start new threads. BTW CalPeg asked a question that is under review so it's not posted yet.

Under review for what, I wonder?
"Can these peasants critique my shit, and get away with tellin' me I'm a no talent hack?"
Skinner: "No they can't Piggy, cause you pay for part of my cruise to the Bahamas every year!"
Snarky bitch!

I guess they want to prevent a free for all so there are a bunch of questions under review 1st.

Is it just me or does Skammer appear to be a little angry? I guess he's feeling the pressure of the upcoming midterms. :loser:

Is it just me or is "a little angry" $kinner's bread and butter?

Now I get it! THIS is why it takes 3 guys working full-time to run the asylum. Opening this was a Pandora's box that the three amigos will deeply regret, and will likely slam the lid shut on soon. Every DUmmie is a whiner, and they'll all swarm to the whine-fest that is ATA.
What is the approximate age when you stop running to mom when something doesn't go your way? Whatever it is, the DUmpmonkiez never grew out of it.

Damn! DUmmies are getting smart....they can tell time.
