[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Here’s the problem. Person A, a Democrat, will accuse an official of, say, working with foreign governments to dig up dirt. Then another person gives proof that a Democratic official did same with proof it occurred. It will be instantly deleted and said to be off topic. Yet it’s often allowed in reverse and sometimes done by the moderator, along with name calling etc[/quote]

Here is another problem: In the first instance, someone -- probably a Democrat -- reports the off-topic post which is why I see it and delete it. In the reverse case, nobody reports it so I probably don't know about it. However, days, months, or even years later, someone -- probably a Republican -- will cry about it in Website Feedback.

DP.  I’ve started reporting more than I used to and I appreciate it when you delete the posts I report.  However, there are some that you inexplicably allow to stand, even when they say things like calling Kavanaugh a “rapist” or other defamatory remarks.  Why do you delete some offending posts but not all?[/quote]

I probably do delete those posts but just not as quickly as you would like. Some posters appear to believe that I am completely focused on DCUM 24/7. For example, this morning I found a post expressing surprise that I hadn't removed a post that was posted about 2 minutes before midnight. Apologies to that poster, but I had better things to do at two minutes to midnight. I normally try to remove posts within minutes of them being reported, but sometimes it might be a couple of hours. On a fast moving thread, the thread would have grown by a few pages by that time. Unless you reread the entire thread, you probably wouldn't notice that the post was eventually removed. But, if I've missed any posts calling Kavanaugh a rapist, please report them again because I have been removing them (though  "alleged attempted rapist" would be okay).
