Please use the W&W button more.
Bad actor(s) use the F&F feature to get people auto-banned from Datalounge for low karma points. Get enough F&F's, then you can't create or reply to posts for several hours up to several days. I'll probably get hit with a ban again for saying something, but something needs to be said.
W&W-ing posts (including your own) helps keep people from being banned through F&F abuse.
Blocking and not engaging helps, but these bad actors are as prolific as cockroaches. You never know when you'll find yourself interacting with them, no matter how hard you try.

I’ve never seen a Ff used. Does it automatically delete the post?

I’d use more WW but I have to refresh every time .

Think of FF like a downvote and WW as an upvote for your automated reputation as a DL poster. It does not delete posts.

100% OP. The F&F button used by sock puppet accounts to silence anti-Trump/MAGA posters for days has gotten out of hand. I gave you a W&W too.

Also: Expect more replies saying how F&F doesn't work, it's hard to understand, etc..
Bad Actors on DL love to say how the search function doesn't work, the site hasn't been redesigned since the Golden Girls were on the air, etc.....

i think w&w counts cannot prevent an auto ban created by people ff a poster. i do think the ww count can lesson the length of a time out. trolls aleays win little battles online but surely not the war

I WW pretty much all of your posts, v8fairy. We seem to have similar tastes and ways of thinking. Actually, I dole out WW's quite liberally. There's a lot of intelligent and witty posters here, despite the best efforts of the rubbish people who stink up threads with their incoherent babbling and strange agendas.
I WW'd you too, OP. I've only ever WW'd myself by accident and then felt embarassed, even though no one can see what I did. Well, maybe Muriel can. I don't want Muriel thinking poorly of me.

This site needs to act like a grown up adult and get rid of that fucking FF option. It’s the weakest dumbest thing I have ever seen on a forum. And all it is used for is weak lame people to ban those they don’t agree with. It’s 100% a conversation stopper. And it's used by the dumbest most triggered and weakest of DL posters.

I don’t think a WW counteracts an FF. It’s not a 1:1 in that the WW ‘negates ‘ the FF. Correct?

FYI I just tested it, OPs theory does not hold water. It still went grey even though it already had 20 WWs.
Sorry OP, I got nothing against you. See you in 24.

I think you might be right, r9. It's pretty clear what FF's do, but Muriel's been a bit opaque when it comes to WW's. And for good reason.

The funny thing about those who resort to the FF to control conversations , avoid seeing posts they don’t like, and avoid being triggered, is that these bozos are the first ones to brag about what a tart tongued, hard hitting, attack anything we don’t like , shit talking kind of place DL is.
It’s pussy heaven

I've been a paid member here for seven years and I was prevented from posting for 48 hours over the weekend. First time its ever happened to me.
I rarely post on any of the political threads, but apparently I said something that pissed someone off.

There is a certain self-righteous narcissist with an average to small penis who does this.

R24, what kind of armchair psychologist encourages people to kill themselves? Don't bother explaining yourself. 🚫

I didn’t encourage anyone to kill themselves, crazy. I encouraged them to turn off their speakerphone.
