Fred's innocuos post got hidden in the Hillary Clinton Group.

Sander's supporters are now stalking the Hillary Clinton Group. It is a shame they stack the juries at 5 am. I'm up getting ready for work...I'm juror #6

JURY RESULTS

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon May 9, 2016, 05:32 AM, and the Jury voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: We need to start working together - Calling fellow Democrats 'Brats' isn't going to get them to stand with your canidate, and if anything will turn them against her.

This persistant infighting does nothing but help Republicans, so it's a bit fishy to see such a recent member trying to flame it on. At the least, MIRT needs to take a closer look at this user.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: lol - this was alerted on after being posted in the Hillary group! A bit overly-sensitive, perhaps.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If we start banning silly names like "Hillarians", "Hillary Bots" and "Camp Weathervane", we'd have to hide a good portion of the post in GD-P. Looked at objectively...I say leave it alone.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

You believe the below post is hide worthy in the Hillary Clinton forum.....:

Depressurizing [View all]

Stepping away for a bit, as I don't want to get booted for telling the naive, delusional Bernie Brats exactly what I think of them. (Don't even get me started on the
"Bernie or Bust" fools!)

See you in a month, when maybe---just maybe---some of the more astute Sandernistas will have woken up and smelled the math!

name in the book but they can't take it when it happens to them. And, since majority rules with no damn rules then we get hidden more.

It's totally unfair and has gone on waaaaaaaaaaaaay tooooooooooooooo loooooooooooooooooooong.

I had a moment of weakness this weekend and spent some time in GD-P but, for the most part, the Sander's people have the place to themselves.

Guess they can't help snooping around in here.....

unfortunately posts can be blocked in the groups, we all know they're constantly on the hunt here for posters they can take out, and Fred did call them brats. (Shocking!) I'm constantly offended by much of the stuff that gets hidden, but this just isn't among those.

Have a nice, serene month, Fred.

and this is a legitimate hide. It would be nice if they didn't get away with calling Hillary every vile name in the book, but that's not how it works here right now. Hopefully this will change soon.

I don't know their schedule, but it seems clear that they meet at late night or early morning so they have a large majority and alert on anything they don't like.

I've learned to do two things:

One is to identify trolls and put them on my jury ignore list (which I have to update regularly because they crop up as socks sometimes).
Two is to avoid posting at times Hillary folks are not around.

If you have the operatives on your list, you'll immediately see alerts sit a while before voting because many of the bad actors can't serve and it takes a little while for everyone to get up and log in.

When the Hillary people are on line - they are still in the minority but you can get those 4-3 LEAVES that we see so often.

Manipulation the jury system is another reason that I'm sure there's a group of coordinated trolls invading DU to bash and trash Hillary. Maybe it's not even coming from Weaver, but might be RW funded. Who knows? It's obvious that it exists.

The posts from the trolls used to have links and stylized format. They come in as a bunch of posts (5-10) within a few minutes at late night or early morning. They are usually a spin on some national story or some obscure news source from Podunk, USA.

Now they simply post CTs without a source - or openly post a RW source. When I challenge them or call them out, I get an alert! It's pretty crazy.

For the last 10 years on DU I never looked at profiles pages or anything. This primary is different! You can see people set up accounts years ago in anticipation of this election. They posted 100 innocent OPs just to get past MIRT. When the primary started, they jump in and post thousands of Hillary bashes.

It seems clear also that some of the same people have more than one account - simply by style. I traced some linked sources and did a little sleuthing, and I found several of sources went back to the staff of a university school paper. I assume that they are paid or recruited to do "research" or create templates for trolls to put out to blogs. Who knows?

Some on DU are pretty tired of it.

up with the crap they spew.

Sounds like they've gotten more brazen with the power that's been given to them to run wild all over the board. We knew this wouldn't end well and here we are..

Thing is though when this started we didn't know for sure where we would be as far as Hillary was concerned.. well, turns out we won and they lost. It doesn't get any better than that.
