I'm rec'ing this thread.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026134434
REASON FOR ALERT
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Disruptive meta nothingness that belongs in the lounge, at best. Since we no longer have an 'unrec' button, it shouldn't be allowed to stay.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Jan 25, 2015, 10:08 AM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Who cares? Leave
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't understand the alert. Nonsense!
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Ridiculous alert.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This was a dumbass alert. Thanks for wasting My Jury vote for today!
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Nothing wrong with a little fun
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
Some lucky DUer cannot alert again for 24 hours
Oh, and, I gave your thread a rec.

(8,028 posts)There are so many other ways that kid could have paid his debt to society. A little jail time with a fine, extensive counseling, sentencing him to lots of community service and finding him a real paying job would have gone a long way toward helping him restart his life on the right path to becoming a productive member of society.
They could have helped him get on his feet with a start toward a decent, meaningful life. Instead, he's likely doomed to a life of crime, bitterness and failure as a pawn of the for-profit prison system. Like the Hotel California, once in, you can never leave.
He was only 17. Depressing.

(13,141 posts)but I don't know how to make it big and bold, how do you do that anyway??
so must use repetition and decorative smilies for emphasis.
UNREC! UNREC UNREC!! UNREC UNREC
kentauros
(29,414 posts)Now, if you use the font codes to make the word "unrec" bigger, it might not work, unless you want the smilies to look more like periods
Put the square brackets around the following bolded text and place as instructed
font size="4"
your oversized title-text here
/font
There's a way of showing the coding, but I'm not a programmer, so I don't remember such things

thanks!
except...
[font size="4"
when I follow your instructions exactly it comes out
like this
/font]
kentauros
(29,414 posts)because in replying, my text is now supersized, even without the brackets!
But, when using any bbcode you have to start and end the code with the square brackets. Start with the one that's nearest the 'P' on the keyboard, and end with the one that's nearest the 'backslash'. Now, you've "closed" the code and can post your text to be enlarged. The "/font" phrase also must be enclosed in the brackets or it won't work.
Now to figure out how to reduce my viewing text

(13,141 posts)[font size="4"
your oversized title-text here
/font]
kentauros
(29,414 posts)you don't need to put it all on separate lines. I'll use the other brackets you get when you do a shift-bracket keystroke, so you can see
{font size="4"}title text{/font}
So, replace the {} brackets with the lowercase kind, and everything should work
If it doesn't, "Ask the Administrators"

it works... ok.. I think there was a missing bracket
in the prior attempt. Now.. color?
