How many deleted posts do you have on your DU record?

[Maddy McCall]

Poll question: How many deleted posts do you have on your DU record?

I'd guess that I have about 20 deleted, (and I'm embarrassed if it's actually more!) mostly during the primary wars. What about you?

[bigwillq]

1. I'm a bore-probably 5 or less

O8)

[Misunderestimator]

2. I'd say that I have something approaching 20 by now...

and most in the past couple of months... hmmmm...

[Maddy McCall]

6. Most of mine were during the primaries and then...

during the Bev wars. :shrug: And I get pretty mouthy when someone posts antifeminist stuff. And anti-southern stuff. So I'd guess that that is where most of mine occurred.

:hi:

[RevolutionaryActs]

3. Freaky! I was honestly thinking about posting something like this earlier!

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa


I don't think I have any deleted messages btw. I've had three locked threads, but that only happened because of the sex thread incident. O8)

[bigwillq]

11. Yes, REV, you are freaky!

:evilgrin:

[RevolutionaryActs]

14. I learned from the best.......

You! :P :+


:*

[bigwillq]

22. Awww,

but don't be giving away my secrets now or else I'll have 45, 000 PMs in my inbox.

Let's just keep it between us.:7

[RevolutionaryActs]

23. You got it.

;)

[PartyPooper]

4. Certainly less than 12. Probably about 6 or so. Not bad, eh?

:D

:hi:

[pres2032]

5. i have a couple locked threads

plus one disappeared thread, all a result from the sex thread scandel.

[sundog]

45. eek!

a lounge night that will live in infamy :scared:

I got a couple locked on that round as well :scared:

[pres2032]

59. hah, yeah

many threads were casulties that night

[jswordy]

63. KEWL novel title! "The Sex Thread Scandal" n/t

[Renew Deal]

7. At least 20.

Possibly over 50.

[Maddy McCall]

10. LOL!

You're bad! Go stand in the corner!! :-)

[Renew Deal]

12. Things happen.

I am on about a 10K post per year average. Some are going to be swallowed up.

[tishaLA]

8. Only two. One in the last week.

I'm as milquetoast as Daschle!

[Rowdyboy]

9. Definitely less than 5

I'm only sure of 2...

[blondeatlast]

13. Tonight I moved up way into double digits, I'm afraid.

But it was fun while it lasted.

[Maddy McCall]

15. Ooops! Did they delete the abortion threads and posts?

Well, chalk me up for approaching 50 then. :hi:

[blondeatlast]

19. Yep, check your "My Posts."

All dead and gone.

[Maddy McCall]

21. Uh oh.

Well, that puts me up to about 50 now, because I know I made at least 30 posts on those threads. LOL!

[Dookus]

35. yeah

holy crap! I took a 2 hour break and came back and ALL my active threads were deleted - not just locked. I guess there was a purge.

[Maddy McCall]

44. So, do you think we should apply to be moderators?

LOL! ;-)

[peekaloo]

16. I know of one....called Bu$h the C word in a caption in GD.

[Amaya]

17. None

I'm perfect O8)

[TOhioLiberal]

18. Zero, zip, nada...

O8) I am a perfect angel, or extremely boring; one of the two anyway.

[derby378]

20. How do you find out?

I've peeked - I know I've had at least one tombstoned post (sorry, guys), but I don't see any record anywhere.

[Maddy McCall]

24. I'm just guessing at how many I've had deleted.

I guess you could ask Skinner.

25. I got about 7 on Super Bowl Sunday.

First time ever. It was worth it though, I was right. heh.

[Renew Deal]

27. From the DU rules

There are no exceptions to these civility rules. You cannot attack someone because they attacked you first, or because that person "deserved it," or because you think someone is a disruptor. We consider it a personal attack to call a liar a liar, to call a moron a moron, or to call a jerk a jerk.

[MrSlayer]

28. I didn't attack anyone, I was attacked.

For using what I was told was a banned word. The whole thing was quite ridiculous and childish. I thought we were all adults here.

[Renew Deal]

31. You would think wouldn't you.

But even adults like to bicker and fight. Especially on an anonymous message board.

[progmom]

29. LIAR!!!!!

I haven't had a post deleted yet....

[baba]

42. If this is true

Why wasn't the post of the person who attacked me deleted? I say delete them both in a situation like that.

[Renew Deal]

26. Deleted Message

:evilgrin:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

30. I really don't fucking care anymore

The place has been a site for debating conservatives latley.

[orleans]

48. a site for debating conservatives??? NOOOOO!

Please say it ain't so!

this is my one main "escape"--i love coming here--if it's going to turn into a conservative site, well then...crap--i can get all that when i walk out the front door!

(it can't be true, it can't be true)

[Jared Skimming]

50. Conservatives are allowed here?

Sorry if it's a dumb question.

I just signed up recently and I thought the rules said that conservatives are unwelcome. Did I misunderstand?

[RPM]

32. How do i find out?!?!?!

I am gussing 4 to 7, but have no way to ascertain

66. YAY! Better than I thought.

Thanks... :)

[RPM]

67. thanks!!!

My guess was on!!!

[Kire]

33. Remember this one, Maddy?

It's still my only locked thread.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=2299493

I have a lot of self-deleted posts, but I don't remember having any deleted by mods. I wish there were a real record of it somewhere.

[Renew Deal]

36. I'd love to see the stats.

Deletes, locks and ignores.

[New Earth]

34. i think i've kept track

one locked thread, 2 deleted posts :(

not bad though, i don't think.

[donheld]

37. I have no idea

I've never seen that one was deleted, but maybe i wasn't paying attention.

[Dave Reynolds]

39. None yet,

but that may change any minute now. Went to LBN and had a small bit of temper. tsk tsk tsk

I will accept my spanking now.

[Gemini Cat]

40. One I think.

In May of '04.

[baba]

41. I just got my first one!

It was totally uncalled for. I had been attacked repeatedly by another poster, and I simply stated that I was putting her on ignore. I'm not sure why my post was deleted for that. But anyway, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one!

[last_texas_dem]

43. Zero, I believe

I'm pretty nonconfrontational and even when I have a strong opinion about something usually manage to present it diplomatically enough so as not to inflame too many people.

Also, I tend to post mostly in the Lounge. There are so many people in General Discussion who present opinions basically the same as mine far more eloquently than I ever could.

Although, come to think of it, when I first came here I got into a couple or three skirmishes with agitating FReepers. Those actually may have earned me the majority of my first hundred or so posts. So I might have earned some deleted posts from those, but I can't remember any in particular...

[BikeWriter]

46. Hmm, one big assed locked thread!

:(

[LeftyMom]

47. One that I know of

I thought it was the world's most obvious example of saracasm and even had LeftyDad read it to be sure (the man has no sense of humor and he got it) but in the future I'll remember to add sarcasm tags for the humorless literalists amongst us.

Not that I'm bitter.

[Piperay]

49. Only one

for accusing someone of being a freeper, which they were and they got 'tombstoned' but I still got my post deleted. :-(

[Brewman_Jax]

51. Two at best

pretty boring, but I don't spend a lot of time debating morans! :silly:

[drumwolf]

52. No deleted posts, but two locked threads.

One of those threads was during the brief mini-plague of masturbation threads in the Lounge, and I started out by thinly veiling it as a post about a band I liked only to show its true colors in the next paragraph.

BigMcLargeHuge was swift in locking the thread right away with the comment, "That's it. I'm putting a sign in the Lounge saying 'Don't taunt the mods.'"

[Texasgal]

53. How can you tell?

Is there a way to find out?

[kick-ass-bob]

54. Does locked threads count?

Because I've had more of those than deleted messages.
:D

[davidinalameda]

56. no clue

how do you find out

[loudestchick]

57. I don't believe any of my individual reply type posts have been

deleted...but I did have an entire thread go *poof* and I've participated in a number of locked and deleted threads...I'm a bit of a minx.:shrug:

[terrya]

58. 1 -2. If that many.

[4_Legs_Good]

60. I think I'm clean...

though I have had some threads locked, I believe.

david

[rbnyc]

62. Nothing removed, nothing locked...

...in over 10,000 posts. And I've been angry plenty of times!

I am pretty good about addressing the post, and not the poster...but there have been times that, though I've been careful not to technically break the rules, my intent was to hurt someone's feelings.

That's very bad, but rare, and never resulted in any type of intervention.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

64. Around 30 I guess. Mostly from celebrating pizza delivery. (nt)
