Have you ever had an OP Locked?

[QueenOfCalifornia]

Just curious.

I had one locked about 8 or 9 months ago... Some people have no sense of humor. :eyes:

[Haole Girl]

1. Oh, once or twice

:hide:

[Fire Walk With Me]

2. One.

[TZ]

3. Sure lots of times

Sometimes even because...it became a S-E-X thread..inadvertently of course..O8)

[QueenOfCalifornia]

7. I used the word

"pussy" in a poll I did in GD once - I was asked to change the word because someone was offended. I had worded a choice as "only pussies would do that." (or some such nonsense. Some asshat alerted on me when I used the word pussies... I am still amazed.

[Fire Walk With Me]

41. Alerting.

I am offended at your use of the word "when". :mad:

[bigwillq]

4. No, I don't believe I have.

I don't start a lot of OPs.

[Shell Beau]

5. Oh God yeah!

Back in the day when I would post ridiculous pics. Oh the silly days. Where have they gone!?!

I may have a couple that pissed off people, but I really can't recall.

[Debi]

22. You had a baby

It ruined you...:cry:

[Shell Beau]

25. I know it. I had to grow up. Poo!

Being a grown up sucks!

[Debi]

29. Wait 'til she's a pre-teen

You'll need to post drunk at 3:00 AM just to keep sane! :hug:

[lost-in-nj]

6. one

probably was a sex thread


lost

[hamsterjill]

8. I've had a message deleted, does that count?

I wrote something about Sarah Palin and somebody didn't like it!!!

But I did...and to this day, I still think what I said was completely true and accurate.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

11. Well not quite the same

but it still feels weird - I have not had any of my posts deleted (that I can remember) but I wish I had self deleted a few. :)

[Liberal_in_LA]

9. yes, once or twice. Mostly the get moved from LBN to Discussion or from Discussion to Lounge

[KitchenWitch]

10. My record is four threads locked in one day.

[Shell Beau]

12. Woohoo!!

That is a decent record to have! My record is probably 2!

[QueenOfCalifornia]

13. You rock.

I was in shock when I had the thread locked - it was about a horse breaking its leg. It was supposed to be sarcastic but the world did not see my invisible sarcasm smiley. Fuckheads.

[TZ]

14. hmmm.

Good one!

[Haole Girl]

15. I'm not sure that's anything to brag about

:hide:

[KitchenWitch]

16. LOL

You know me, I am always trying to push the envelope.

:evilgrin:

[Haole Girl]

28. I didn't even count my record...

it was either the day I started sex threads or the day I thought "asshole" was okay to use in about 5 threads. I try not to PUI now. :blush:

[Bake]

20. Well, if you'd quit posting sex threads ...

Geez, ANYBODY can get four sex threads locked in one day ...

:hi:

Bake

[Debi]

27. Were they all

'Post your boobs' threads?

[KitchenWitch]

31. Actually no.

Not ALL of them.

:rofl:

[Left Is Write]

17. No, but I had one deleted.

[Symarip]

18. Too many to count

The message of Raptor Jesus is often DU cannon fodder.

[Debi]

19. I've had them 'deleted'

:wow:

During the primaries - in my local forum.

Yeah, I deserved it :blush:

[leftofthedial]

21. more than I can remember.

I have a knack for pissing off the hot clique du jour here.

[Debi]

24. Oh yeah, nothing worse than pushing the 'hot clique's' buttons

:rofl:

[QueenOfCalifornia]

32. I have some of them

on Ignore. And they know who they are. :)

[Debi]

34. Damn.....

x(

And I thought I was one of them.


I always wanted to be in a clique.

[Shell Beau]

37. We can make our own clique!

What shall we name it?

[Debi]

38. Mmmmmmmm

Breastfeeding Chickens comes to mind :crazy:

[leftofthedial]

45. it's all about the cliques

here at the DU.

And the hot cliques?

They're the wurst.

[Bucky]

23. Oh lordy, yes.

Frankly, I'm usually more surprised at what posts of mind DON'T get locked.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

30. You manage

to hide your snark in intellectual jargon often enough... Most people who deserve a snark from you probably don't bother to use their thesaurus. :D

[CreekDog]

50. I think the same thing of my posts

:wtf:

[QueenOfCalifornia]

70. But aren't

you just Bucky's sock puppet? :shrug:

[CreekDog]

76. me? i'm unique

nobody could create me! :spank:

[azmouse]

26. Only once that I can remember.

I'm much too well behaved.

[Ptah]

33. Yes, it was full of photos of Janis and others with nipples exposed.

:blush:

[DarkTirade]

35. ... and how did I miss THAT one?

[DarkTirade]

36. Hmm. I don't recall having it happen.

In fact, I don't think I've ever had anything locked... just deleted. :P

[Dystopian]

39. Only once, then I made fun of my DU sticker...

Post locked, and one disappeared...But my ridicule of DU is still there..

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=1813030
madinmaryland cracked me up!

I don't post much these days...I'm so burnt out I just read stuff in the lounge.

peace~

[crimsonblue]

40. I hope this gets locked...

[NYC_SKP]

42. Yes...

It was titled, "What's wrong with people? I wish DUers could sound less like freepers."

:rofl:

That was my latest hit, lasted quite a while, too...

[Inchworm]

43. If so I was too drunk to remember

I don't think I have though.

:hi:

[MilesColtrane]

44. Not locked, but deleted.

Less than a month ago.

Let's just say that it involved a depiction of Santa Claus nude.

(Note to self: the mods do not find butt cracks funny.)

[kentauros]

46. Yes, but it was a really stupid mistake on my part.

Posting one of those spam emails that would depict someone famous being killed, then have a link that went to a virus-loading page. I was curious if anyone had seen them and then posted the link without thinking, perhaps thinking someone would know what the link meant.

So, the thread was locked, then unlocked once I edited out the dangerous material.

I've never had a thread locked because others having a flame-war from my OP however :P

[QueenOfCalifornia]

47. Oooooo Noooooooo!

You did THAT! I am surprised that some of the rabid people didn't boil you in oil.

Wow... and you are alive to tell about it. :rofl:

[kentauros]

54. Yeah, it was caught rather quickly

as I tend to refresh the page here constantly to watch for posts and updates ;)

It died rather quickly after I edited it




This is not the DU member formerly known as

[CreekDog]

48. Surprisingly few

Considering the source. :eyes:

[TZ]

49. hmmm I seem to remember one not all that long ago

where you got "yelled" at...;)

[CreekDog]

51. oh yeah, the moderator said, "enough!"

of all the threads about Radio Lady and who expects the 5th one to get me yelled at? :hide:

[QueenOfCalifornia]

71. Mmmmmm...

Radio Lady... Haven't seen her for a while...

Is she gone?

I mean really... is she?

[CreekDog]

75. yes

and that's what my thread was about. loosely speaking.

[deucemagnet]

52. I haven't had any locked, but I've had a few deleted.

As usual, I'm pretty clueless as to why they were deleted. I must have either inadvertently reignited an old flame war or insulted the sensibilities of somebody with an itchy "alert" finger. :shrug:

[Mike 03]

53. Once, but only once since I joined in Jan or Feb 2003. It was in the Israel/Palestine forum

and I still can't remember what I did or said that got it locked. I think I wrote about how I was upset that the United Nations kept getting bombed by israel even though they were providing the Israeli army with their coordinates. That thread got locked.

It ruined my perfect record of never getting a moderator pissed at me..lol

[Danger Mouse]

55. Multiple times.

:D

[skygazer]

56. Oh, yeah

A couple of time, if I recall correctly, and I don't think they were particularly "bad" - they just got populated by a bunch of unregulated DU'ers. :P

[RevolutionaryActs]

57. HAHAHAHA

Yes.



It happened more often back in the day though.. I ran with a bad crowd. :silly:

[blueraven95]

58. yep, several

but only because I requested it - to end the photo contest polls.

:hi:

[elshiva]

59. Yes, a lot of sex threads. Got locked.

[Zavulon]

60. No, but

it never ceases to amaze me which threads get locked when so many stupid goddamned copycat threads are allowed to live.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

61. Too numerous too count. Both Locked, Deleted and Self-edited

all three :D

[Richard Steele]

62. My tribute OP, "The human rectum is almost nightmarishly elastic", didn't last long

Apparently, the Mods that day were not fans of Patton Oswalt's
cutting-edge brand of standup comedy. Or the Rubix Cube.

How anyone could not like those things is just beyond me.
Hard to believe. :shrug:

But it's not nearly as unbelievable as the amazing action you'll see
EVERY DAY, right here on ESPN!!!!!

[QueenOfCalifornia]

72. Hi...

Haven't seen you for a while... Maybe all your threads have been deleted?

xoxo
QoC

[Richard Steele]

74. Nope, I haven't been active enough to get any threads deleted, little buddy!

I'm currently living in a basement 200 miles from anywhere,
using a dialup connection...

And I finally went out and got one of those "Job" things that
I've heard so much about- man, talk about eating into my free time!

So I really just haven't had time post 12 hours a day like I used to.

It's kinda hard for me here right now, and HARDSHIP always sucks,
but hey, you know what they say: "Whatever doesn't kill me,
is probably some PUNK-ASS LITTLE BITCH that should go crying
boo-hoo-hoo to its MOMMA about how Dick Steele ain't fucking dead."

Personally, I'm just grateful that I'm not bitter about it all. :eyes:

[jobycom]

63. Only a couple, but I like to think they were just misunderstood. My intentions were always honorable

Usually always.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

64. Never

[Inchworm]

65. Well, bless your heart

:silly:












:yoiks:

[harmonicon]

66. oh, yeah

In the lounge, no less. Now I expect all of those POS who alert on my calling out their shit to respond to my response to this. Thankfully, I have them all on 'ignore'.

[Adsos Letter]

67. Yup...over in the I/P forum...I figure it's a standard occurance with that group.

[Broken_Hero]

68. Yep, right here in the Lounge

about three years ago....

[crimsonblue]

69. I think I've had 3 this week locked..

oh well. bugger off to our evil net nannies.

[murielm99]

73. No.

I have had some posts deleted. It was when I was new here, and the mods did not know me. I could have been a troll, just gearing up to cause a lot of trouble.

I still don't understand why one of the posts I made during the 2004 primary was deleted. Many people were saying worse things than I did and doing a lot more fighting.
