[-] 9 points by JenLynn (496) 4 hours ago Someone with extra names poked you and got a response. Now more are doing it and getting exactly what they want. Look at all the time being wasted talking about up and down votes and karma points. ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [+] -16 points by DKAtoday (6485) from Coon Rapids, MN 4 hours ago [-] 1 points by JPB950 (1497) 4 hours ago You're letting your pride in a score or desire to have everyone read your comment distract you. The down vote is a mosquito bite, just leave it alone. The more you dwell on it the worse it seems. Many of the down votes are obviously simple personal attacks, comments like "good job" or "i agree totally" are getting down voted for no reason other then someone has a grudge against an individual name. Voting past -4 or even -5 is just an insult trying to hurt your total. ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [+] -11 points by DKAtoday (6485) from Coon Rapids, MN 4 hours ago [-] 0 points by Endgame (241) 1 hour ago Checking to see if I see this thread on the front page or not. ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [+] -10 points by DKAtoday (6485) from Coon Rapids, MN 1 hour ago [-] 0 points by jrhirsch (1142) from Sun City, CA 15 hours ago Don't feed the trolls and they will flee. ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [+] -15 points by DKAtoday (6485) from Coon Rapids, MN 15 hours ago [-] -1 points by Endgame (241) 1 hour ago Im starting to think its possible that some of these trolls are actually some of the mods here. I find it weird how some of the comments that get dragged down aren't just troll comments but comments that ask genuine questions about this movement that some of the powers that be don't want discussed. Very convenient for the mods to be completely gone when all of this is going on... ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [-] -10 points by DKAtoday (6485) from Coon Rapids, MN 1 hour ago Send in a request for information. Every one is wondering what is going on - everyone except the attacker (S). Use the sites report abuse E-mail address. Please email abuse@occupywallst.org when people are breaking the rules. ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [-] -10 points by DKAtoday (6485) from Coon Rapids, MN 1 hour ago It has been suggested to me that this post might be shadow banned. Why do I mention this? Well I do not want anyone who notices the fact to get possibly unnecessarily upset. If this post is shadow banned - my thought is that it may be so visitors (not contributors) would not see the mess and be repulsed from staying to look around. I am happy for now to let this continue no questions asked as - it does not matter - you already know about this post and the attacks going on. Let them address the issue. It should become apparent when the attacks have been stopped. In the meantime I would suggest that maybe U might want to e-mail the site if you have any concerns. ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [-] -11 points by friendlyopposition (298) 17 hours ago When is the last time anyone saw a moderator? ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [-] -11 points by Nevada1 (1158) 18 hours ago Good idea. ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [-] -12 points by DKAtoday (6485) from Coon Rapids, MN 18 hours ago Hey Nevada1 - thanks for your support. Please feel free to share this post as you so generously share petitions and great direct action opportunities. You are absolutely one of the best. There are so many good people here. I am blessed with the company I keep here. Correction I am blessed in the good company that has accepted me. ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [-] -9 points by Nevada1 (1158) 16 hours ago Hi DKA, You are welcome. Please realize that with all that is going on now, you are winning, not losing. ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [-] -15 points by DKAtoday (6485) from Coon Rapids, MN 16 hours ago OH I don't care for myself - I care about the forum and all of you. It sucks seeing your good contributions getting hidden by a collapsing vote or worse removed if troll droppings are edited out taking comments with it. But thank you for your kind thought. ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [+] 3 points by anarkastik (-6) 15 hours ago [+] -11 points by shadz66 (3894) 18 hours ago [+] -12 points by factsrfun (4252) 5 hours ago [-] -12 points by Endgame (241) 13 hours ago I find it funny how my thread that has absolutely nothing to do with trolling but asks important questions, gets shadow banned. But threads that are started by the real trolls are always there for the world to see. ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink

[-] -19 points by DKAtoday (6485) from Coon Rapids, MN 6 hours ago I have heard the term shadow ban before. But I do not know what that means. I know that there are those attacking the forum that want good questions to go away and so they down vote until the comment collapses. They will do this with out making a comment in reply ( silent down vote ) to the comment they don't like in the hopes that it will go unnoticed. I also note that anyone trashing an official site "news post" will have their comment deleted. That editing I can't argue with as it is the sites news post and "not" an open target for attacks. ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [-] -6 points by Endgame (241) 3 hours ago Yeah I didn't know what it was until someone (intentionally or unintentionally) explained it to me. Basically I had a thread but because the owner of the site or a mod didn't like that my thread was getting so much attention because of a question I asked they caused the thread to not be viewable while not signed in. As if it doesn't exist. Trying to limit the amount of people that see it. It was a pretty cheap and shameful thing to do. But like I said I find it funny how they have time to try to suppress my thread yet whats being taken place in this thread with the trolls downvoting everything is completely allowed. I like the suggestions you laid out. Common sense stuff. But I also do think we need to find a way to talk about this without giving the trolls so much attention. They love this stuff. And until the powers that be get off their ass unfortunately this is going to continue. ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [-] -15 points by DKAtoday (6485) from Coon Rapids, MN 2 hours ago That's why I would be happy if the abuse/attacks remained here but they are not. Still I seem to be a major target so let the lightning strike here more frequently then elsewhere. BTW - because of the nature of the attacks and the collapsing threads - it is getting difficult to find your replies - feel free to use the Post comment box up top of this mess rather then hit reply. ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [-] -12 points by shooz (6685) 18 hours ago If you keep starting a new thread, they can't bot you.....:) ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [-] -13 points by DKAtoday (6485) from Coon Rapids, MN 18 hours ago Well I can only do 1 new post every three hours and the time constraint between commenting makes me about as slow as a turtle wading through molasses in January in the north woods. I always see so many comments by others and wonder am I the only restricted one? After about two comments on a fresh start then the system will tell me to wait 1 minute before I can make my next comment. Sometimes it seems others have a three times output to me. ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [-] 2 points by ICantSpellTheWordShoesRight (1) 5 hours ago Just make a new account. ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [-] -14 points by DKAtoday (6485) from Coon Rapids, MN 3 hours ago NO. I am who I am. Not some sick multi-character user/abuser. ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [-] -5 points by shooz (6685) 18 hours ago I have that 1 minute issue sometimes myself. What happens if you say something really "right" wingish? Perhaps a go teabaggers post would get them to lay off? If you have the stomach for it. ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [-] -14 points by DKAtoday (6485) from Coon Rapids, MN 18 hours ago Compromise my values ?????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? SHOOZ - how could You - i...I...I am So Hurt. {;-[..... ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [-] -13 points by factsrfun (4252) 3 hours ago same here ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [-] -14 points by DKAtoday (6485) from Coon Rapids, MN 3 hours ago Hey your reply's are getting harder and harder to find here as they get buried in the collapsed threads. Just pick up a conversation where you left off. In the Posts comment box instead of hitting reply. I know it's a pain but until this collapse attack ends - what can ya do? ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [-] -14 points by factsrfun (4252) 3 hours ago Best an Worst would put a damper on it. ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [-] -15 points by DKAtoday (6485) from Coon Rapids, MN 2 hours ago Huh? sorry. Was that in reference to scoring or ..??? ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [-] -10 points by factsrfun (4252) 1 hour ago if there were a "best" and "worst" comment list, then when the trolls attack they would be putting people at the top of a list where they would be seen this defeats the trolls, but the collasping thing was something I thought was my computer, that is problem ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [-] -11 points by DKAtoday (6485) from Coon Rapids, MN 1 hour ago Well I appreciate the thought of a worst comment board. Counter balance the Best comment Board. It might also make people wonder why a comment is on the Worst comment board. Kind of like shit comments showing up on the Best comment board. Have you considered sending in this suggestion? Perhaps ask what they are doing right now? I have already had someone tell me that they were going to leave this forum if this is not addressed. I asked them not to as we have had a lot of good people driven away and I feel that this is an important Communications Hub. I asked if they would instead express this determination to leave and why to the site and ask for a response. Hopefully the site will ask this individual to stay. Please email abuse@occupywallst.org when people are breaking the rules. ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [-] -11 points by factsrfun (4252) 1 hour ago thanks, my guess would be based on how quickly they were banning people the other day they are on this and it be worked out soon, maybe "moles" I suppect that's the case, been good up till now sort of thing, but yeah that's my ideal exactly, the point is to keep you from being read, so if they put up the "most attacked" people would want to know why and the whole thing works against them, ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink [-] -11 points by DKAtoday (6485) from Coon Rapids, MN 1 hour ago I can see that. Good thimkin. {:-]) ↥twinkle ↧stinkle reply permalink
Hhmmm . . . well . .you might want to separate the comments.
Kind of hard to follow as is.
You might also want to put a reason as to why you made the Post - I mean beyond the title.
