Reply #121: So, Lerkfish posted about DU'ers on a prohibited website?

[bluedawg12]

Because the restrictions are for:

Websites that have little purpose other than to smear, disrupt, or complain about Democratic Underground.

Do not quote or link to bigoted websites, or websites that republish content from bigoted websites.

Or was it a post on a highly partisan conservative website, in which case it could be linked to, "in the proper context".

"Members are permitted to link to highly partisan conservative websites, provided that they are doing so in the proper context?"


By going to another forum and posting "all the people on my list, if ignored, would make DU a more pleasant place to post if you weren't a Clinton supporter," that appears to be going to another forum for little purpose other than to, "smear, disrupt, or complain about Democratic Underground" and specifically people at DU, with an opposing political point of view?


DU Rules:

"Restrictions on Linking to Other Websites

Do not post messages that give publicity to websites that have little purpose other than to smear, disrupt, or complain about Democratic Underground. Currently there are only three websites that fall into this category. Their addresses are not listed here because we do not wish to give them publicity. They are easily identified by their bizarre obsession with Democratic Underground.

Do not quote or link to bigoted websites, or websites that republish content from bigoted websites. While many of these websites are easily identifiable, some are less obvious at first glance. Please be aware that even some anti-Bush websites also include bigoted content and are therefore not welcome here.

Do not quote or link to "conspiracy theory" websites, except in our September 11 forum, which is the only forum on Democratic Underground where we permit members to debate highly speculative conspiracy theories. A reasonable person should be able to identify a conspiracy theory website without much difficulty.

Members are permitted to link to highly partisan conservative websites, provided that they are doing so in the proper context.

If you would like to know if a particular website is restricted, please contact an administrator."
