As long as this does not turn into yet another rehashing of people's personal problems, and it does not turn into a moderator/admin-bashing thread, we will leave this thread open.

For those of you who don't know, progmom, Misunderestimator, and nothingshocksmeanymore received an extremely clear warning that if they did not keep their personal problems off of DU, they would be banned. The moderators and admins spent hours *every day* trying to sort out issues related directly to their personal, off-DU drama, and it eventually just became too much to deal with. We were neglecting our other responsibilities to this website in a futile effort to mediate a peace over something that has nothing to do with the mission of DU.

Last night, the situation came back to DU, and the parties involved started yet another flamewar about it. We had no choice but to follow through with our ultimatum. We're sorry it had to come to this, but we cannot waste anymore of our time (especially in an election year) attempting to play mediator for people's love lives.

As usual we will not rule out the return of these members, but first they need to find a way to make peace which does not involve the moderators and administrators of Democratic Underground.

Please keep this thread positive, and it can remain open.
