How much of the turmoil around groups, hosts and DU etiquette is caused by disruptors?
I was never a DU2 mod nor do I have any special insights into what our Admins must tolerate to keep DU thriving, but our new "self-regulated" DU seems to have a lot more problems getting along than DU2.
I wonder how much of that is not honest and earnest concern over DU but attempts to undermine our effectiveness. I'm sure there are members who are alerting out of genuine concern, but it feels like the infiltrators are trying to muck up the works. I have no data to support this.

10. There are a number of organized trolling efforts. n/t

18. There is a certain ragefulness...
...that the right-winger style projects that is pretty easy to pick-up. Liberals don't generally personally excoriate their peers in blistering terms of personal outrage. The right-wing trolls here are also generally male, and so when you combine those two things it becomes pretty obvious who's not on our side.

11. I have no facts
No link, and no way of knowing but I'd guess the site does get disrupted by conservative freaks who especially dislike feminism. Even the word sets them off, let alone a whole group.
Someone got shown the door. Someone who was right in the cohost line up, probably in the off site meetings, and pm'ing everyone in the leadership.

Sooooooooooooo little self-awareness. Liberalism's strongest defining feature is the refusal to have a calm consideration of facts, but rather to attack the integrity/ethics/moral/appearance &c. of any person having the slightest disagreement with liberalism.

attack the integrity/ethics/moral/appearanceOr make fun of their names, much as first graders do. Don't forget that old standby.
Liberals don't generally personally excoriate their peers in blistering terms of personal outrage.:rotf: :lmao: Are they all going to let him get away with that? Every thread they have turns into a hairpulling shriekfest. All of them have each other on ignore. They're constantly trying to get each other in trouble with Teacher.

BINGO!
It's like having a debate with a 9 year old.
Yeah, right, there's no spitefulness and squibble-squabbling and petty acts of vengeance among "real" DUers. They're a model of propriety and decorum when left to themselves. Just like OWSers would be completely peaceful were it not for agents provocateur.
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
DUmbasses, we don't have to instigate anything. All we have to do is sit back and watch. You're like a bunch of monkeys ****ing a football in every endeavor you undertake. It's one of the things that makes you entertaining.
Saboteurs and wreckers are all around, Comrade Scuba, you need to summon the enforcers from Ministry of State Security!
:popcorn:
DUchebags alert on trolls and get their posts deleted rather than debate to prove the DUmb POV is right. To me that's an awfully big mark that their ideas are all about failure.

3. As a former moderator, much of what we see here, in H&M
would have been seen either via alert or PM on DU2. I don't think it's disruptive per se',
