9. No, but there must be some compelling reason
for you to forsake the Gungeon long enough to make a dozen posts today slamming Zazzle at the expense of Cafe Press.

10. So?
I don't understand why you would let that stop you.

You've posted that link on a great number of threads. Either the seller's items offend you or you're exploiting the information on DU for some other reason.

Which is it?

16. Just passing along pertinent information.
I read in one of the other threads you had to have an account to make a complaint. Thought someone who already had an account would take care of it.

18. You can actually send an e-mail
through their contact page. Don't know if that's what they responded to when I sent e-mails before I found the violation link - but all the ones I complained about via e-mail earlier vanished.

12. Just create an account using a throw-away address.
That's what I did - and I have reported the ones that that have cropped up during the day. I finally found a violation button in the middle of the order page. They've been slowly taking them down - there are currently around 30 items there. All apparently available for order.

CafePress, on the other hand, must have some sort of pre-filter. Even the one put up in the last half hour cannot be found if you try to click on it.

11. Right now there is a page and a half at Zazzle
all accessible and apparently orderable - including some I reported a couple of hours ago.

Cafe Press, on the other hand, has about a half dozen - all of which "cannot be found" including the one that was put up within the last half hour.

14. The asshole(s) JUST put that shit up today.
I would definitely alert Zazzle (there's a "report violation" link on every product), especially in light of this post to Zazzle's official blog (which does take comments) of Nov. 18th:
Statement on Psalm 109 Products

By zazzlemike

Dear Zazzle Member or Concerned Citizen—

Today, there has surfaced a great deal of discussion and debate over certain products in the Zazzle Marketplace which reference text from Psalm 109 in combination with reference to President Barack Obama. We at Zazzle are aware of the issue, and would like to take this opportunity to respond in a unified and public fashion to all parties and viewpoints.

Zazzle puts great value on its Marketplace as a forum for discussion and debate of the issues of our day. We are proud of the fact that no matter how arcane or apparently esoteric a subject may be, there can often be found Zazzle products pertaining to it. We are particularly sensitive to Zazzle as an open forum for the expression and debate of political viewpoints. The rigorous debate and discussion of political issues, including candidates for political office, our elected leaders, and pending and actual legislation, is something that drives the very democracy that in turn allows for our freedom as citizens to make these expressions in the first place.

With that in mind, it is only after great thought that we have determined that these products, in the context of the full text of Psalm 109, may be interpreted in such a way as to suggest physical harm to the President of the United States. In deference to the Office of the President of the United States, and in accordance with federal law prohibiting the making of threats against the physical wellbeing of the President of the United States, Zazzle has therefore determined that these products are in violation of the Zazzle User Agreement and not appropriate for inclusion in the Zazzle Marketplace. We have begun efforts to remove them from our website, and we will be vigilant to the publication of similar products moving forward.

Zazzle will continue to allow and encourage the submission of products that express disapproval or approval of the President’s policies and actions, but Zazzle will not permit products that may be interpreted to suggest violence toward the President.

Sincerely,
The Zazzle Team

15. There's actually closer to 30
Just search for Psalm 109 without the 8, and you get a whole boat-load put up in the last hour.

20. Report it. Don't whine about it.
Don't have an account to do so? GET ONE.

21. Considering DU moved there to avoid that, I can't say I'm surprised
Other people read this site, after all.
