If someone agrees to the TOS of a site by checking a box, should they be held to that?

1. The Democrat party has not selected a candidate yet so the TOS do not apply

Therefore your question is moot.

[leftstreet]

2. Democrat-ic n/t

[tularetom]

5. I'm not sure there is anything Democrat-ic about it

Based on the actions of Loserman Schulz and the DNC.

[leftstreet]

8. Point taken

[JoePhilly]

9. I bet this guy ...

... finds the use of "Democrat" instead of "Democratic" very telling ...

[still_one]

10. Actually, that wasn't the question was it. Reading is fundamental

[MohRokTah]

16. According to Skinner himself, your interpretation of the TOS is WRONG:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1259&pid=8974

Read it, they give some leeway, not an open license.

He further clarifies here:

Glad I could help ya!

31. So since you have claimed fully two times you will not vote for Bernie

if he is the nominee, Skinner can read your mind that you are not serious, but Manny who has only done this once,Skinner can read his mind that he is and that is why you are still here and he is banned.

[oberliner]

18. The "Democrat party" ??

Interesting.

[Hekate]

33. Why adopt Right Wing usage when referring to the Democratic Party? It really does not look good. nt

[daleanime]

3. Honesty....

not even a concern.

[edgineered]

4. Do you mean like in the same manner as

Anyone enlisting in the military is asked, have ever thought about suicide?

It is hard to believe that hundreds of thousands of young adults answer that question with a "no". Should they be discharged?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

6. Loyalty Oaths are sooooo 1950s.

[still_one]

7. excuse me, do you know what agree to TOS for a moderated site means?

I will make it simple. it means you agree to the Terms of Service of that site. If you don't agree to those terms then you don't join the site

This has NOTHING to do with a loyalty oath

No one forces you to be a user on a site, but if you want to be a user, then you agree to the TOS, otherwise you don't become a user.

This really isn't rocket science

[Bluenorthwest]

11. If it is consistent, sure. But there are a few Clinton supporters who say they won't vote for

Bernie if he is the nominee and they spend lots of time asserting reasons not to. One of them did the exact same thing in 08, 'I would die before I vote for that fake Barrrack, he can't win, he's not a Democrat, waste of a nomination, won't do it' and that person is posting the same material aimed at Bernie.
So I love the rules, but only if they are justly and equally enforced.

[MohRokTah]

19. You should read what Skinner has to say about this as of today

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1259&pid=9267

[still_one]

23. Except that wasn't my question. It was a generic question

If you are noting an unfairness in something specific then you should PM the admins and state your grievance. If you want it public go to AskTheAdmins if you believe things aren't being dealt with fairly.

[demmiblue]

12. Crist. n/t

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. People, and I'm looking at everyone from the admins down, should cut it out.

And stop taking the events of a discussion board to their soul when they don't like something said about their candidate.

Who should we ban? Republicans. That's it. The admins and the newbies have begun eating their own.

[bigwillq]

14. Bye, Felicia.

Good post.

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. Coffee.

On my keyboard.

[bigwillq]

17. Put it on DWS' tab.

I'm sure she'll pay for a new one for you. She has friends in high places, ya know?

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. .

You are on a roll.

[bigwillq]

22. Just trying to be entertaining.

LOL



Work is soooo slow. I can't wait to leave so I can watch the NFL game and drink.

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. I'm working too! sort of...

The words, they are not coming today.

And then I clicked on DU and immediately got called to jury... and the hilarity began.

[bigwillq]

26. I have that problem with words sometimes.

You are a better person than I for serving on Jury.

I could never. I would just laugh at everyone. Although I did alert today for the first time in a year? Years? My alert was denied.

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. Hahahaha. I don't bother with alerts for juries anymore.

I have attempted to alert on things that are against SOP, but the hosts these days are too busy fighting for their candidates I guess.

[bigwillq]

28. I was just seeing how consistent the Jury was.

They were not.

No biggie. It's really not a big deal to me. I was just experimenting.

[Purveyor]

29. Or defending bullshit locks... eom

[Hepburn]

25. Bravo to the adult response! n/t

[Rex]

21. Only if both teams agree.

[nadinbrzezinski]

30. Yes, why the ban was ridicolous

since the primaries are not over. For the record, this surprises me in the least. I have been here since Moses and I expect that ban myself over the most flimsy of excuse.

And I suppose that will be the extent of what I say about it.

[hobbit709]

32. That seems to only count depending on which protected group you are in.

Sock puppets are supposedly out.
Sending nasty PM's while on timeout should be out but isn't in some cases.

[davidpdx]

37. Yep, those who are playing on Team Clinton aren't going to be banned

They may get a timeout if they get too many hides from juries, but that is temporary.

There is one person in particular who likes to invade people's space by sending PMs. They've been alerted on and to my knowledge ther has been no consequence of their action.

[MattSh]

34. Ooohhh, let's have a Coke vs. Pepsi poll next!

[Liberal_in_LA]

35. No one reads the TOS

[uriel1972]

36. Uh that is not an excuse...

The admins made the rules, they get to enforce them. Whether you believe that's appropriate or just does not matter two hoots.
I will miss Manny, but "No one reads the TOS" won't bring him back.
