To anyone who thinks it's cute or even acceptable to mock or disparage people having trouble with DU4 - it isn't.

13. The people who've been doing this include some DUers who've been here quite a while and posted a

lot of messages. Usually very helpful ones.

I do NOT want them targeted by people planning to hide their messages in the hope they might get FFR'd (flagged for review, which effectively is a ban unless the admins relent).

I especially don't want any targeting since I don't have time to comb through everything posted here in the last month to find ALL such examples, and no one should waste time doing that, either.

I want the behavior to stop. (And I'd like FFRs to go back to being only temporary, until the oldest hidden post is more than 90 days old. I don't believe there should be permanent bans unless someone is determinedly trolling and doing little or nothing else, and that can often be spotted well before 5 posts are hidden.)

Anyway, it's better to post an OP about the problem behavior than to try to go after it retroactively and hide old posts.

I have brought the problem up before, but never as the subject of an OP. I hope pointing out the harm those snarky, contemptuous remarks are causing will get the attention of the people who've been doing this. I don't want them FFR'd. Just want them to be more understanding and respectful of other DUers.
