By some simple detective work (looking at hidden comments and checking the commenters to see if their mojo is now of the bony style), I can tell you some people who have fallen beneath Kos's mighty ban-hammer. And some people who have not - most interesting is philoguy, who has perhaps 15 hidden comments in the last two days but retains two bars of mojo. I do note that philoguy once wrote a diary which garnered 700 recommends so he can't be all bad.
More below the Orange Squiggle of Power. Updated to redact the actual hidden quotes which were mostly tedious trash. This site needs higher quality trolls.
PJ Jefferson II
Hidden comment:
REDACTED.
Accusing DK of being anti-Semetic.
zmanrob
Hidden comment:
Tip Jar
Attached to a diary entitled "Fighting for Change by becoming a Blue Republican" which was actually a Ron Paul puff piece.
super600
Hidden comment:
REDACTED
Accused Bush of bombing the WTC
To which I have to say, super600 has no idea about how steel is made. Or how gravity works. And probably lacks knowledge on other topics.
bernvernado
Several hiddens: REDACTED
Evidently bernvernardo is a fresh incarnation of the previously banned BernVerdnardo.
darrenlobo
For a diary which began:
Mr. Friedman is focusing on the most extreme 9/11 conspiracy theories, while ignoring the sensible ones, to discredit them all. This author agrees that 9/11 was not a CIA plot. The government didn't have to orchestrate 9/11 they just had to allow it to happen. They take advantage of crises, they don't engineer them.
Mr. Lobo's profile says:
Darren Wolfe is the former Eastern Vice Chair of the Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania. His articles have appeared in American Juror, OpEdNews.com, the Libertarian Penn, and the Nolan Chart.
I wrote a diary recently about Rewriting the rules on community moderation where I listed the offenses listed as ban-able in the DK3 FAQ.
They are:
- Sufficiently Obnoxious Behavior
- Copyright violations
- Hotlinking to sites not designed for that purpose
- Violence
- Outing
- Undisclosed affiliation when germane
- GBCW
- Bigoted language
- Thread Stalking
- Return after banning
- Tag Abuse
- Conspiracy Theories
- Use of Sock Puppets
So, PJ Jefferson II violated #8, zmanrob violated #1, super600 violated #12, bernvernado violated #10, and darrenlobo violated #12. Note that I had to assign zmanrob to #1 because I don't think it explicitly states in the FAQ that advocating for 3rd parties or Republicans is ban-able.
Delete my confusion, Kos!!!!! /errinf
Here's what I'd like from you, if you can't provide a bound volume telling me what the rules are.
Which conspiracy theories can bring the ban hammer? If I write a diary alleging the government is covering up UFO information will that do it? If I write a diary alleging that elections don't matter because
They don't let Congress or the President decide anything anyway, will that get me banned? From what I see, if
They = the Jews, yes. If
They = Wall Street, no.
How far can someone go in criticizing the Democratic Party before they cross the "advocating for 3rd Party" line? OK, you know it when you see it, so can you link to examples where you saw it?
