paging admins - are you guys happy with DU3?

inna

Is this what you were hoping for?

IMO, the only redeeming/progressive quality about DU3 (as compared to DU2) is Jury Duty by community members;

otherwise it's a huge step backwards, to the point it's arguably not even worth posting/reading at this point;

all due to admin decisions (in contrast to *community* decisions) imo;

- again, this is just my opinion; the main reason I even bother posting this is the fact that I used to *love* DU and post/read here on nearly daily basis for years.

It just sucks that arguably *the* best progressive board could be effectively killed, just like this.

Too bad.

1. What have the Admins done?

Seems to me that what they have done with DU3 is put most things into community hands... But you are ok with that so... Whats the problem?

5. for starters, read TOA before and after

- and look at LONG-term posters banned, uh, extrajudicially, for lack of better terms

6. Yeah... Could you just be specific instead?

I really don't feel like hunting around for whatever it is you are complaining about and playing guessing games. Spell it out, you are allowed to do so.

26. I've heard of TOS ...

but what is TOA?

47. terms of agreement, terms of "service" ( - wtf??) ok, i'll google it (at some point,

when i have time), just to be sure...

cheers (and nothing personal whatsoever, anyway; to anyone on this board, period!)

7. DU has always

been a place where a few people try to control others with net-nanny conduct, demands for ideological purity and absurd hyper-alerting. It's just more in the open now.

Yesterday, I was thinking that DU3 has caused a lot of heads to swell.

Overall, I like DU3 much better than DU2.

I have no idea why they're complaining, DU3 doesn't seem much different than DU2.

It's all crap to me. I don't know how they follow the conversation.

IMHO DUmp3 is a great social experiment to watch. It's like Lord of the Flies on steroids only with less emotionally and mentally mature characters. I think Skins is getting DARPA funds for it.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

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.

I hate DU3 because it's a hundred times harder to copy-and-paste.

You can be lazy and leave out the date and time, but that's important info, and even then it's more awkward to copy.

DU3 sucks, but DUmmies suck even more.

I'm sure that the admins are very happy with DUmp3 - it's taken all of their work away from them.

Now rather than having to wander round clearing up after the DUmmies, they just let various DUmmy-busybodies do it all for them.

Yeah, I wish Elad would hurry up and fix that bug, so the date and time shows up on copy-and-paste.

There's actually some sort of trick one can use to make it do that, but I forget what it is, and it's still harder than copying-and-pasting from the old DU.

One of these days, I'll get around to sending another g-mail to my fellow alum Skins, asking what progress has been made, on Elad getting this done.

See what happens when you put control in the hands of "the workers"...chaos.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

I have to select from the bottom, then at the top sort of wiggle the cursor to the side to catch the date.

Sometimes it takes two or three tries.

It's a pain in the ass, just like DUmp democrats.

I'm positive that's why they set it up. Now they just have to watch for server crashes, which only happen once every 6 months or so. Lazy, lazy, lazy!

Skins, ya oughta be ashamed! 'Specially considerin' the kind of change ya collect from these no-minds!

AR, I'm going to bold this first phrase (mainly for the DU lurkers) . . .

Skinner is, first and foremost, a capitalist.  The DUmb****s are socialist--at least the ones that aren't moles.

Capitalists will fleece socialists every time if they can get away with it.

And Skinner is obviously doing so.

Well, I was just trying to demonstrate the weakness of the communist system.

DUmmies having to face Stalin's select judge and jury may reduce the "fun" appeal of the DUmp that we find entertaining.
