Happy Sunday all! I appear to have lost trusted poster status in the Disqus tech circus. Would you be amenable to reestablishing it so I can rec and comment on my posts? No rush; it’s a Sunday, after all.

I regard to this thread https://breakingnewsandreligion.online/2019/11/02/smugglers-are-sawing-through-new-sections-of-trumps-border-wall/ I had a comment deleted that simply stated: “We need a stronger wall and maybe motion activated machine gun turrets.” I was deleted by NavyVet with the comment that it “Advocates Violence”. Normally, I don’t care about deleting my posts, and NavyVet has done this a few times with…

I have flagged a couple posts today and asked a mod (she may have logged off) but have not seeing any action and it has been hours since the first flag Nationals pitcher Sean Doolittle declines White House visit saying he ‘just can’t do it’ I’m not wanting to get into it with a poster…

What is the process for making submitted articles public? I repeatedly find this order of events 1) I submit articles 2) new Articles that aren’t mine are published, but mine aren’t 3) hours later, a different mod finally publishes my article. What mechanism, if any, is in place to ensure mods don’t pick and choose…

So Andrew Andrew decided today he wanted to post an immature blog, and then was upset that someone would tell him that no one thought it was mature to do that. This obviously means he should abuse his moderator status to ban me. I mean really, are we playing this game AGAIN? I get that…

What’s up with the approval thing, am I too harsh?
