People are being alert stalked on DU. He is one of them. Actually he was one of the first. People learned alert trolling, alert swarming and alert hiding by what happened to trumad

Imagine posting anything anywhere with a big old alert target on your back, basically you are not free to express yourself at all

If he posts today, he will be gone before midnight

A well worded alert with some nice bullshit added in can get me every time. Like: Truman has a past of being a bully...and here he is being a bully again.

First off...a bully in the sports forum? LOL

So..a jury reads my post which is the usual smack talk we do in the sports forum and assumes because the alerter says I'm a bully...I'm bullying. The jury has no history of me...doesn't understand context, and takes the word of the alert stalker.

Even this post has me concerned.

taints the jury pool too

And now you are boxed in a corner. You cant say anything at all, and the alert stalkers can say anything they want in an alert AND in the open forums

Its fucked up big time. Ask the AA posters&others here, well the ones that aren't on time out

he is able to block 15 stalkers from jury duty

AND the admin should advise him who his alert stalkers are

We've also decided to try removing the current "five hides and you're out" restriction, mainly because we suspect that members would be more likely to vote to hide bad behavior if they didn't feel like one of their friends might get canned over it. So while members can still be flagged for review for getting posts hidden too quickly, there's no more five-hide suspension. And anyone who is currently suspended for getting five hides is able to post again as of now. We reserve the right to change this decision if it seems like it's having the opposite effect to what was intended.

I believe we are going to be discovering 'Flagged for review' is like The Roach Motel: Roaches check in, but they don't check out!!!!
