The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsHow many of you have gotten permanently banned on DU and have had to create a new user ID?
I have been on DU since 2002.
I was mad at Obama when I thought he caved on public option ..I said something and BOOM I was banned.
I appealed many times - but to no avail.
It would be nice to get my Old Id back. Because while I am Le Gaucher .. I used to be someone else ..

(6,374 posts)Creating a thread in which you state you were banned, lost all your appeals and created a new username to beat the rules doesn't sound like something mods will take lightly.

(33,643 posts)If everyone can just create new handles after being banned, not really much point in banning anyone in the first place, is there?

(3,332 posts)I was banned by accident several years ago. I was never made aware of an objectionable post. I successfully appealed.
I think banning should be for serial rule breakers.
Nevertheless, I think the administrators want us to be circumspect when we criticize democrats.

(16,423 posts)To be honest, the whole Hillary-vs-Bernie thing really shocked me. One day everybody is friends with each other and the next day the primaries started and DU turned into a toxic shitfest.

No reason given and I have to appeal to the person who banned me for reinstatement.
