Thu Dec 19, 2013, 12:38 PMStar Member Skinner (58,710 posts)REMINDER AND UPDATE: Five hidden posts and you can't postBack in September, we announced some changes to the way the site is run. In that announcement, we promised that we would make the following change, after a 90-day period:If you have five hidden posts on your account you will be unable to post.... If you have five hidden posts showing on your Transparency page (a 90-day period), then you will be temporarily unable to post. In order to regain your ability to post, you will need to wait until the oldest post of the five is more than 90 days old and "falls off" of your record. At that point you will only have four posts showing on your Transparency page, and you will regain your ability to post.Due to a fluke of scheduling, that new policy was supposed to go into effect on December 25, Christmas Day. However, because the DU Administrators do not wish to spend our holiday break fixing the inevitable bugs, we have decided to push back the launch date.The new launch date is Monday January 6, 2014.Members whose transparency pages are showing will be restricted in the following ways: 1) they can't post, 2) they can't serve on juries, 3) they can't serve as hosts in forums or groups, and 4) they can't serve on the Malicious Intruder Removal Team. If they are currently assigned as a host or as a MIRT member, they will be removed by the software.Members whose transparency pages are showing will not be restricted in any other ways. They will be able to send and receive DU Mail. They will be able to recommend threads. They will even be able to send alerts (this is so people can't insult people who are temporarily blocked).Thank you for being a part of DU. And have a happy holiday season!The DU Administrators

As usual, it appears my fellow alum didn't think this all the way through.He thought it to a desired conclusion, and then quit thinking.This is gonna be a gold mine, a Comstock Lode, of merriment.

Seabeyond is done for 90 days come launch date.
They will even be able to send alerts (this is so people can't insult people who are temporarily blocked).
Should we start a poll of who goes down first (well seabeyond is first with 6 logged already - so second?)? We will need to track their exile in some way. Oh goodness the fun we will have.
No, she will only be gone until her oldest hidden post is more than ninety days old. Since she has six, she will need for two of them to age out.DUmmies will be allowed to post if their "Transparency Page", which covers the past ninety days, shows four or fewer hidden posts.Banning could be for as little as a single day.
There will be blood. People that have their posting privileges blocked will alert on posts to get their enemies blocked.

How cute. It's like their own little version of obamacare..
The software and hardware used for Skin's Island is on a par with Healthcare.gov.

What is that other site of disgruntled misfits? Old Elm Tree? New posters heading your way. I wish they would come here instead. Perhaps if we held an open house of some sort?
