11. To address your second point...
Edited on Mon Jan-15-07 11:41 PM by VelmaD
The mods/admins SHOULD step in...but they don't. And this new feature was put in place so they don't even have to. Instead of the moderators and admins doing their jobs...they're foisting it off on everyone else. If I see someone post something sexist over and over and over again...I'm supposed to just block them? Why are these people even still here? We all know who they are...we alert on them all the time. But the admins/mods don't want to suck it up and DO something about them. Because they don't really care about the general culture of sexism that pervades our society and thus DU as well. Misogyny IS acceptable on DU. And this change isn't doing anything to help end it. It just gives the offenders the ability to stop US from calling them on it publicly.
