Really low-class threads are populating GD

A particular poster is filling GD with really low-brain, salacious, tabloid crap.

No one would accuse me of being a prude, but it strikes me as, well, just plain dumb and poor-taste stuff.

Does anyone really want to see this in GD?

1. I must have that person on "ignore"

I'm not seeing anything that looks like what you're talking about.

Edit to add: OK, now I see what you are talking about. I guess I just gloss over topics that don't interest me. I do see your point.

6. Ignore and Trash Can are great tools and are designed to cut down on threads like this one. There's also Alert, if a post doesn't meet the SOP or community standards.

8. This whole place has become a cesspool of sheer gratuitous nastiness, baiting, mockery, shiny objects, and corporate/neocon/right-wing talking points. And, yes, those things all go together. DU has become a faux discussion board just like the faux media outlets of the mainstream media. It is all mean-spirited distraction and no substance.

The old DU is gone. Too many good people are gone.

I'm afraid it's over.

It can't be over, because it never was.

Skins's island has always been a rancid cesspool; never anything else but that.

DU3 is a social experiment. it is being used to flesh out the cliché "It's like letting the lunatics run the asylum"

I was getting suspicious, but there was no "suffice to say", and no misspellings.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

How beauteous mankind is!
O brave new world that has such people in't!
