There are 25+ locked threads on the front page of DU3's "Soapbox" forum
More locked than unlocked at the top of the page, from the looks of things.

1. The yellow labels look rather heavy handed. Occupy soapbox at your own risk.

4. many of the threads that are locked aren't negative or smart alecky at all
Apparently you just can't use the Soapbox forum to talk about DU or its features, even in a positive way, which I find odd.
That said, though, DU3 looks pretty cool. I'm looking forward to the jump

15. I *think* that alerted posts get sent to a random jury pool.
And the jury decides if it's worth locking or deleting or whatever.
I haven't yet sat on a jury, so I'm not completely sure that's how it works, but that's what I'm getting from people commenting on it. You can also opt out if you don't want to make those decisions.

6. This could turn into a war game to see which DU political grouping can lock the most posts!
Let the games begin!
I can see DU turning into a real lovefest with everyone who doesn't like or agree with a post locking down hundreds of threads.
Meanwhile 150,000 or so DU'ers will flee for saner and more democratic discussion pastures!
Is this "jury" thing a serious proposal or is Skinner just having some fun with us?
OK now Skinner. Stop that. It's no longer funny!
Oh yes it is. :lmao:

9. I don't understand but IMO D.U. is Male run..
I've long thought men rule the internet. Women provide energy, content, but we don't start up companies and profit.
Until women start up political forums we will serve.
You go sister!
Welcome to the socialist/communist world you dream of DUmbfuks.

Why would a jury decided whether or not to lock a thread? Shouldn't DU have a committee for that?
-
He should know better. Skimmer went full nadin. You never, ever, go full nadin.
He created a forum called Help and Meta Discussion.

The question of the night is what is skinner gonna do with the gay DUmmies?

I tell you, Piggy, DU3 makes our little island adventure positively seem like a pleasant holiday!

It's not a jury. It's one or two radicals that hate everything, everybody has ever posted on DU3 and are now taking revenge!.
Stinky dude gatekeeper at the soapbox forum, a couple of militant bull dykes keeping dissent down at the alphabet forum. Who next will be crowned by Skinner and company to stop the barbarians at the gate and keep the purity of expressed thought within the narrow confines of whatever the gatekeepers want to talk about, nothing else.
Ooo! Popcorn! :popcorn:

And so the war begins and chaos reigns again.

Poor Seabeyond over there...she's a plaintive bleating voice in the wilderness, "Where is my GD? Where is my GD?"
That is amazing though, that many locked threads. It makes it look like a...what? An insane asylum for the most serious cases. No cheerful breakrooms with The Price is Right on the TV, no supportive group sessions. Only meds and straps.

Who was it that thought this was be a "good" idea? :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
*crickets*
Like giving a bunch of sugared-up 5 year-olds a box of markers, putting them in a white room, and telling them NOT to write on the walls! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

It's entertaining that there are DUmmies out there that buy this number of "active" posters.

Locking - the new "Unrec!"

Could the implementation of DU3 actually turn out to be the Great Discombobulation we've been waiting for?

You know, sir, I'd forgotten all about that; my sense that a Great Discombobulation would happen this year on Skins's island.
In the back of my mind, I guess I was always thinking the wallduding of the bitter old Vermontese cali primitive by another primitive was the convulsion of the year for the primitives, but maybe not.

Did you happen to notice a granite pizza delivered by SubAtomic to MADem a while back? I had forgoten all about it until I saw your reference to cali.

Well, that too was big, along with the passing of Chief S itting Bull this year, and now the passing of the worthless freeloading bum the wily primitive.
I'm not sure, really, what the "big event" was on Skins's island this year.
For years, when doing the Top DUmmies thing, I contemplated adding a category, the "biggest event" (such as the bobbling primitive getting the Bostonian Drunkard temporarily exiled from Skins's island back in 2009), but just never got around to doing it.

There's another little group that I was able to access earlier.
Tried again a minute ago because the info was great.
They restricted access now.
This is the group..
Malicious Intruder Removal
This is an access-restricted workspace for people serving on our Malicious Intruder Removal Team. Remember, your job is to revoke the posting privileges of malicious intruders only. In other words, obvious conservative disruptors, spammers, or anyone else who shows up and immediately causes trouble or acts like they don't belong on DU. Read The Malicious Intruder Removal Team for more information.
Wish I would have copied it then.
In reading the goals and objectives, conservative disruptors, meant any suspected Conservative.
The old alert button is going to get a work out. :lmao:

That means that suicide runs will get scrubbed even faster than before. Also, that they really want to limit the amount of truth allowed to be posted at DU3.

I hope one of you nasty people got a screen capture of that actual forum. :naughty:

You know, I'm reading that very carefully.
.....obvious conservative disruptors, spammers, or anyone else who shows up and immediately causes trouble or acts like they don't belong on DU.....
That obviously refers to trolls.
One assumes moles, which aren't the same thing as trolls, are exempt.
<<exempt.

M.I.R.T.?
MalIntRem Team?
Each Forum will have an all powerful "host", with authority to lock threads, ban posters and delete post?
It's all like a dream.
