(71,265 posts)One can easily make good arguments for or against Hillary but that poster has been banned several times.

(71,265 posts)to attack the Clintons I believe by Mirt. The second account wad banned earlier and this last one was banned because he/she did not try or was not good at hiding who he/she was.
It is Mirts job to ban these kind of disruptors.

(68,644 posts)I have no idea if that was the case here, as MIRT can't do that unilaterally.
Admins might, however.
Also, MIRT can look at all of a poster's posts and get a different view of the member and their patterns.

(80,708 posts)there's no 'getting'. It's always been this way.
Do a term on MIRT, if you haven't already. Man, it's eye opening. At least the spamming is better than it used to be.

(99,711 posts)Their handles are usually giveaways as it seems they want to to get caught.

(99,711 posts)I was DolFanSinceBirth on the Miami Herald Miami Dolphins bulletin board back in the late 90s/early 00s and I just thought a variation of it would work here...
If I knew I would be here for over a decade I might have chosen something else.
BTW, we might have tussled over something stupid a while back, Friends?

(80,708 posts)I don't keep track, and I don't remember banging heads with you, so it must not have been that big of a deal. Either way, yeah, I don't hold grudges. Just the intertubes.
I hear you about name picking. My last name was very specific to the previous administration. It's an important choice. Now I'm stuck with a Greg The Bunny reference that was mildly funny in 2009.
Fortunately they do tend to allow a name change amnesty when administrations change (historically) otherwise you'd see people running around DU with usernames like "Edwards08"

(99,711 posts)Let me say there are a lot of long time members who oppose her and while I disagree with their opposition I have no doubt their opposition is sincere.
The said thing is the disruptors are undermining their cause and they are painfully unoriginal.

(38,613 posts)If "half of DU" is doing it, after all, then we need everyone's help to stop it.
NoJusticeNoPeace
(5,018 posts)BTW, while I havent alerted anyone on this basis, when the nominee is in place, you do know what the rules state at that point, right?

(38,613 posts)Alerting on their talking points is one way we avoid infestation. It's highly recommended.

(5,018 posts)a right winger, I mean they might as well be.
I mean if you wont vote for the Democrat, then you are in effect voting for the alternative.
Right?
So while myself and others work tirelessly hoping Bernie or Liz or Alan or Jerry will run and provide choice and diverse opinions, as in running against Hillary, I will OF COURSE vote for WHOEVER the Dem candidate is, for reasons I should NOT have to explain on DU
when I say work tirelessly, in my case this includes sending dollars

(99,711 posts)It is funny to see them post, get banned, and return... into infinity.
