I thought if you were on a time out you couldn't send DU mail. Obviously I was wrong.

(36,539 posts)The email he sent to me is still in my inbox.
seabeyond
(110,159 posts)simply, .... disappeared.
i guess that is their answer. hide the offensive.
boston bean
(36,539 posts)Maybe they will take a closer look. If they don't, well... we'll just continue on without a doubt that they don't really give a shit how women are treated here.
Agschmid
(28,749 posts)So when they removed the poster the PM also was removed, that makes sense to me.

(110,159 posts)feminists, taunting us. and skinner is still getting alerts from us in this group getting the pms. last i checked. he is still here.

CreekDog
(46,192 posts)so let me see if i'm understanding this...
his pm's to other people had to be removed, he's flagged, anything else?
oh yeah, it's even been discussed by the Admins.
HOWEVER...he's not been PPR'd.
Skinner, are you waiting for him to do something worse?

(55,941 posts)I ask because I think you might have hit "delete this message" by accident instead of the alert button. PMs don't disappear normally when you alert on them. Maybe admins never got that one???
seabeyond
(110,159 posts)seabeyond
(110,159 posts)now i am more sure i did not accidentally delete. deletes happen immediately. the pm did not get deleted for a couple hours or more. i was able to go back to it and copy and paste. others had gotten pms or something and it was brought up. so i posted the pm i got and said i had alerted on it.
seabeyond
(110,159 posts)taunting feminists with the c word. ya know. at the time, seeing it disappear, i checked status and he was still du, just couldnt post cause time out.
Kali
(55,941 posts)so you just tried another one and it disappeared?
seabeyond
(110,159 posts)which is silly with anonymous posting. lol.
no. i did not block him. i did look at one of tuesdays pm to see the set up. saw delete at bottom next to alert. hit delete. the post disappeared immediately. not even an... are you sure.
if that had happened with cfl, it would have been immediate. it was not immediate. later i was able to go back and copy/paste for a discussion. when i next went back to copy and paste, it was gone. i figured that administration kicked him off. they did not. appears they only take the pm out of my box. hence the oddity. and really, a little dissatisfaction that this is their answer to harassment.
Kali
(55,941 posts)he just sent one to me - (mildly insulting you) so I alerted to show admins the behavior and to test this disappearing "thing" and indeed it disappeared. I copied it first and sent it back to myself. also right when I did that I had a "name removed" unread PM in my inbox.
Mail Message
This mail message was automatically deleted by our software because the account that sent it is no longer eligible to send mail on this site. Thank you for your understanding.
his profile says flagged now but I am pretty sure it said something else when he got his 5th hide, so maybe something just happened with his account - maybe automatically? I don't think admins are around on the weekend. the "mechanics" of this is kind of confusing. I wonder what is going on. some of these PMs seem like a fine reason to ban a disruptor.
seabeyond
(110,159 posts)checked. i figured administration had flagged for offensive pm adn would kick off. they did not. and i guess that message about no longer pming goes away after administration checks it all out, and decides to unflag. cause he can now pm me.
interesting.
seabeyond
(110,159 posts)Squinch
(53,487 posts)the right thing will happen, that this poster whose sole purpose seems to be to antagonize and insult, will be banned. I fear he will be allowed to continue this and nothing will be done.
If he were so dedicated to antagonizing other groups, he would certainly be banned. But not HoF.
Please let us know what happens.
BainsBane
(55,074 posts)He doesn't need to bother people here with unsolicited PMs. I've gotten a couple from him. I never responded. One I alerted on.
redqueen
(115,173 posts)BainsBane
(55,074 posts)I never noticed if they disappear, but it sucks that we don't have a record of them. That isn't the case when you alert on jury results.
redqueen
(115,173 posts)The responsibility for stopping harassment is on us and us alone. No different here than anywhere else, obviously.

so right wing argument.
Dr. Strange
(26,007 posts)Transparency is key.
boston bean
(36,539 posts)Transparency is what it's all about.
Just removing the ugly so it can't be seen is obviously not the solution in this case. I'm sorry to hear I am not the first who alerted admin and he is free to continue pm'ing inappropriate messages to others.
Kali
(55,941 posts)(I mean the message disappearing) that is weird. I am going to post this to ATA.
boston bean
(36,539 posts)Now he is flagged for review. His status changed somehow.
The email he sent to me is essentially gone, here is what it looks like:
Name removed
Message auto-removed
Mail Message
This mail message was automatically deleted by our software because the account that sent it is no longer eligible to send mail on this site. Thank you for your understanding.
So, it is possible with his status changing to flagged this is normal procedure for emails that he sent to now look like this. However, I am not sure if this is the same case for RQ or seabeyond. However, I wish if someone wasn't allowed to post they weren't allowed to send emails, not just when flagged for review. I don't like it that I now have no record of the email he sent to me.

Most people don't abuse their PM privileges while on suspension. I don't think that needs to be removed to account for one person. The problem is specific to him.
He can't send PMs while flagged. It also means the admins. need to look at his case and decide if they want him around.
boston bean
(36,539 posts)So, if they changed his status to flagged, why not just boot him the hell off????????
BainsBane
(55,074 posts)automated. Then the adminis do the review.
boston bean
(36,539 posts)automatically with no review.
That could cause a hell of a lot of issues.
BainsBane
(55,074 posts)which weren't even alerted on. This is someone who doesn't get hides, so it was a stupid thing. I'm not sure if they have since adjusted the software.
boston bean
(36,539 posts)when people alert on their DU mails?
I would assume that since the alerts go directly to admin, they make the decision and that it is not something that automatically occurs.
BainsBane
(55,074 posts)Two hides in 12 hours, the computer puts you on flag. Flag is not manual. Firstly, the administrators aren't around much on weekends, and if they had decided to do something about him, he would simply be banned. So there has to be something related to PMs that got him flagged since he isn't able to post. How exactly that works, I don't know.
boston bean
(36,539 posts)Are you stating there is an automatic function for alerts sent on private DU Mail?
I don't think so. I think someone probably had to switch someone to flagged for review. Which begs the question, why just flag, why not further action.
That is all I am saying. Unless you are telling me for sure that there is some automatic mechanism that puts people on flagged for review due to alerts sent on private du emails, that go directly to admins....
BainsBane
(55,074 posts)I know someone who got flagged for sending a certain number of PMs. The system did it automatically.
Beyond that you'd need to ask in ATA.
boston bean
(36,539 posts)Good to know. I think Kali probably asked in ATA. I'll try to remember to look to see if she gets an answer.
seabeyond
(110,159 posts)i do not abuse the privilege either. i agree with baines. i would not like to see me denied ability to communicate with du when penalized for five hides.
Kali
(55,941 posts)I know I talked to someone via PMs when they were on a time-out - and they aren't any kind of troll at all - so that is a two edged thing. I think it would be better if the alerted on PMs had a real effect (like a PPR!) rather than just disappearing into the ether with no apparent action.
I suspect when admins return this will be finally taken care of.
Gormy Cuss
(30,884 posts)That's flat out sexual harassment of the puerile variety.
boston bean
(36,539 posts)We'll see what happens.
TDale313
(7,822 posts)Totally inappropriate, IMO. And yes, this poster needs more than just a time out.
Tuesday Afternoon
(56,912 posts)CFLDem is a nasty piece of work. I would call him the T word but, unless the Admin see it that way then I don't want to chance a hide.
He is not sincere. His sarcasm and disdain for DU literally drips from each post he makes.

Instead, I trashed the group and, it no longer shows up in my scroll.
boston bean
(36,539 posts)to exert control over others by trying making web spaces uncomfortable others.
This one here is a bit overt to say the least, so you may be right, that he is looking for any attention, that it's negative, doesn't matter. Sort of like a three year old demanding attention by doing bad things. Hasn't yet learned that positive attention is better. Yet, some of the postings can give you a real insight into the mind. Read the transparency page....

Squinch
(53,487 posts)and now he's PM stalking individual members? The kindest thing the admins could do to this one is to force him to step away from his computer and go find, um, other life interests.
boston bean
(36,539 posts)poster can't harass women any longer on DU. He has a place over on discussionist where he can be as misogynist as he would like.
seabeyond
(110,159 posts)merely banned him from pming me anymore. and that is all.
he posts on disc, and says the nastiest things about women. i guess he is still welcome on du.
seaglass
(8,181 posts)tell one from another.
On edit - I don't expect you to really tell me and please don't - too much of a hide risk.
seabeyond
(110,159 posts)stopping him from pm. i guess nothing came of him taunting me with the c word, only the lost pm.
what a way to handle the issue.
take away the offending harassment and conclude, job well done.
just got another pm to let me know he could pm
seabeyond
(110,159 posts)to my posts....
boston bean
(36,539 posts)I suppose admin will say, well you can block him from sending you mail and you won't ever have to read his du mails.
However, I think that is cowardly. I for one would like to know what someone sends to me, so I know what I am dealing with. I will choose whether to respond or not after being able to read what they write, thank you!
seabeyond
(110,159 posts)not easily bothered threatened or intimidated. i would prefer to keep the info, since administration chooses to do nothing, to use in later discussions when it is relevant. i do not have that option now, cause administration felt the answer was simply to hide the offense.
boston bean
(36,539 posts)well, most people don't find this to be acceptable, whether admin does or not. I know just thinking that women would be afforded just a tad bit of protection from this shit, may just be too much to ask.
We'll see. DU is all about transparency and I think admin would agree it that they are part and parcel of that transparency for good or bad.
That is why I chose to make it public. They can do what they want. But at least all will know what it is they will or will not do.
seabeyond
(110,159 posts)i feel that should be acceptable.
i read a post in ATA yesterday. someone asking to tighten up misogynist issues in TOS. with elections coming up of a woman, wouldnt we want to tighten up the guidelines.
skinner said something like... (and i will get it if anyone wants it).... this is not about what skinner thinks, but the community.
so basically, what i heard was if the community is into misogyny, then that is what du will be.

REASON FOR ALERT
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Complaining about DU
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Jun 14, 2014, 11:12 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: In the thread's context, the opinion is not rude, etc. I have never made a comment about the motives of alerters before now, but this time I will say that this appears to be a nuisance or stalking alert.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Makes sense in the context of the thread (which isn't in GD, but a small subgroup). Also, wouldn't surprise me if the alerter isn't someone that's a poster in that subgroup.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It is complaining about DU, but that is the unofficial SOP of HOF.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

Chathamization
(1,638 posts)I tend to think of DU as being Groups (Gender & Orientation) -> Subgroups (History of Feminism), but you're right, they're Topics (Gender & Orientation) -> Groups (History of Feminism). The point I was trying to make is that on the smaller forums you expect the conversations to be different from those on places like General Discussion (where I first assumed the post was).
"Also, wouldn't surprise me if the alerter isn't someone that's a poster in that subgroup." -> Was saying that it wouldn't surprise me if the alerter was an outsider ("isn't someone that's a poster" , but you're right, that could be read the opposite way as well.

sybylla
(8,655 posts)Then maybe everyone needs to take it into their own hands. The minute you get crap like this, alert, then copy it to a post just like this.
Everyone can then act appropriately - block the offender, make them honorary members of the teeny peeny club, or whatever won't get you tombstoned.
On the other hand, if you're getting tombstoned for highlighting another poster's misogyny (or other misbehavior), then maybe this isn't the place for any of us to be anymore.
In fact, I'd like to see that this is getting taken care of before I give another dime to DU.
