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?

by Anonymousreply 2October 30, 2024 7:30 AM

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

by Anonymousreply 3October 30, 2024 7:31 AM

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

by Anonymousreply 4October 30, 2024 7:34 AM

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.

by Anonymousreply 5October 30, 2024 7:35 AM

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.....

by Anonymousreply 6October 30, 2024 7:36 AM

I gave you another W&W R6.

by Anonymousreply 7October 30, 2024 7:43 AM

Also WW'd you OP. Havent ever WW'd myself, maybe I should at least on a few threads where I know bad actors abound

WW and FF are easy to understand , but they are right about the search function, it isnt great

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

by Anonymousreply 9October 30, 2024 9:21 AM

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.

OP, pay the $2 and open another account if it means so much to you.

by Anonymousreply 12October 30, 2024 10:54 AM

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

by Anonymousreply 13October 30, 2024 11:14 AM

R12 Teaflake is probably paying about 20$ a month for all her usernames.

by Anonymousreply 14October 30, 2024 11:15 AM

can Muriel confirm?

by Anonymousreply 15October 30, 2024 11:15 AM

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.

by Anonymousreply 16October 30, 2024 11:21 AM

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.

by Anonymousreply 17October 30, 2024 11:53 AM

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

Slap them!!

by Anonymousreply 19October 30, 2024 12:24 PM

OP thinks it works the way it doesn't.

F&F x 50.

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.

US overnight bump

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

He’s all bark.

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

by Anonymousreply 25October 31, 2024 10:52 AM

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

by Anonymousreply 26October 31, 2024 12:41 PM

And the person I am talking about encourages people to kill themselves constantly.

by Anonymousreply 27October 31, 2024 12:42 PM

Sure, Jan. 🚫 and read the polling history on that one.

by Anonymousreply 28October 31, 2024 1:16 PM

Whatever. I guess you don’t know to whom I’m referring.

by Anonymousreply 29October 31, 2024 1:38 PM

Yep. Goofed. Take it back. Apologies.
