The Ask the Administrators forum is just what you useless parasites will face in real life if the socialist paradise you yearn for ever becomes a full reality.
Your questions are ignored for days and when skins does answer it is with contempt while you snivelling cretins kiss his ass.

Will old meta posts ever be visible again?
Right now it looks like the whole thing has gone down the memory hole.
No strong opinion either way. It's a part of DU history but at the same time I would understand if you prefer to leave it buried.

1. Don't know.
They all still exist in the database.
RZM (8,084 posts)
2. So it's a definite maybe?
Ok thanks. There were some good discussions there. Then again, there were some not so good discussions as well.
Skinner (56,780 posts)
3. I would characterize it as a probably not.
But I guess you could call it a definite maybe.

OK, so what's the deal with zombie posters...
Are previously banned posters allowed back to DU under new names?
Fair warning - there will probably be follow up questions
Thanks

2. Fair enough. And I wasn't going to out anyone in this thread...
The follow ups were more along the lines of:
If they've been banned more than once, how many "second chances" do they get? At what point are they a repeat disrupter?
And lastly, do they deserve to not be associated with their previous account name(s)? Do they deserve a fresh start, free from the "sins" of previous selves?
IMO, it's not fair to the thousands of DUers who did, mostly, play by the rules and didn't violate the TOS, when posters, who were banned for very good reasons, are allowed to sneak back in.
As always, thanks for listening.

3. This isn't life or death. It's just a discussion forum.
I know you really want to nail me down and force me to take a definitive position on this, but I'm just not going to do that. If someone wants to be a part of this community, if they figure out how to be a productive and positive member, then I don't really see why I need to lose sleep over the fact that they slipped back in.
I don't want to empower the zombie hunters, troll hunters, and witch hunters on this site. They can be worse than the zombies, trolls, and witches.

"Disappearing people, unpleasant facts and other things"....It's the socialist way.

I'm sure Skin's isn't too happy about the way Meta went and the way many of the members run others off the board. He was hoping the site could run itself, forgetting that the members all have the minds of young children and can't get along without a dictator. And the "hunters" are taking away potential income. He better get a grip on them quick.

Can't tell. No dates.

Can't tell. No dates.
You're right, they don't have dates, but they do have days attached. Here's one that's currently left unanswered,
Question submitted by quinnox 0 quinnox Monday Monday
Question submitted, 0 replys, by poster quinnox, submitted Monday, last reply Monday.
So that their questions are ignored for days is true, and sometimes not answered at all.

NEVER, EVER question or criticize der Führer, or Верховный лидер. Go along with skinner, or it's the work camp or gulag for you.
Why are socialists and communists always so unhappy with the choices they made?

In other words DitheringSid, "GET YOUR OWN DAMN WEBSITE!" and enforce your own petty little rules.

Sid has been calling out Berlum/SpiralHawk quite often lately. This is from yesterday; http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022490993

So DUmmy SidDithers starts this huge brawl at the DUmp over the idiotic concept of "dowsing", including dowsing for IEDs in Afghanistan.
You'd think the DUmp, a "reality-based community" would laugh at dowsing, one of the few activities that rivals chemtrails in goofiness.
But nooo. DUmmy after DUmmy pipes up with silly testimonials to the validity of "dowsing".
Maybe dowsing and chickenwire proves MIHOP?
And then, here comes the second-most decorated enlisted man in U.S. Navy history:

30. We use welding rods to find old irrigation lines in our vineyard.
No shit, they work like a charm.

33. Try the Real World, sometimes, sid
It beats the hell out of the basement.
We have Mexicans who can work magic with welding rods.
They can find old electrical lines, pipes, all kinds of things.
Just because you didn't learn it in school doesn't mean shit.
Magnetic fields are real, it is really that simple.
You got a few thousand bucks that you want to wager? I will pay for the plane ticket.

34. Ok, you've convinced me...
magical magnetic Mexicans working miracles.
Awesome.
The DUmmies have been discussing James Randi, who offers a million dollars to anyone who can prove goofy nonsense like dowsing or any other "paranormal" idea actually works:

43. You've not heard of Randi's Million Dollar Challenge?
You could make a Mexican very happy. And (s)he might give you a slice of the pie.
Silence from TiT.

46. Interesting you should offer a wage
go to the website in the OP and make that same wager to Randi. He will take you up on the offer.
Bet you won't actually do it though.
Such silly nonsense.
More silence from TiT.
TiT has no need for James Randi's million bucks.
