(19,926 posts)Too many posts that are disruptive and rude are left to stand.
There really needs to be a moderator system to just delete all the rude and disruptive posts. This place has become like the comments section of Yahoo!. DU used to have great discussions going on that I could read and learn from. Now there are too many who just post rude and insulting quips meant to ridicule. There are too many exchanges that are very angry and hostile. There are too many people who post in a tone that they would never use in person.
The jury system can't fix that. Only a moderator system can and it has to be almost zero tolerance and not tainted by anyone who thinks there are "sides" on DU.
As it is there were two people on a jury just today who didn't think someone saying "I don't give a shit what you think." to someone else was hide worthy. I don't get that. Is that what we want DU to be? The equivalent to Jerry Springer or Maury Povich shows? That's what it looks like atm.
