It's their own fault for letting it get into such a state. It's way more of a liability than an asset for Hearst so they ignored it until the best way to deal with it was close those forums.


They won't last long if they do.
That’s what I think has happened. Discussions must have taken place behind closed doors, regarding the current state of DS.
 
Proof that if you allow bullies free reign & tolerate only certain viewpoints a once thriving forum will basically eat itself.

Hardly surprising which subsections have been pruned. Politics has been a toxic wasteland for years. Debate requires plurality of opinion, and that hasn’t existed on DS politics in a long time. It’s a pity Godwin’s Law has fallen into disrepute because one or two posters on DS have real trouble distinguishing between the British Conservative Party and The Nazi’s. And if this is done in an ironic sense the irony is well disguised.

GD has also recently become something of a game of Offence Taken top trumps. Who gets banned seems to depend on who pushes alert first. Never really visited showbiz so can’t really comment.

There was a rumour last week that Tracy Ann Oberman and Rachel Riles had complained to hearst about the anti semitic cesspit that is politics. I wonder if that had anything to do with this decision. If so its been the Corbyn supporters that killed the site. Everything they touch turns to tit.

Shame about showbiz. In its heyday it was a fun place to be. I never used politics forum and the general discussion forum when I used DS was full of cliques so didn’t really post in there either - it did seem to be very well used though.
 
Hi
I’ve just migrated here from DS. I’ll keep my DS username to myself for now so you can decide for yourselves how much of a fool I am based on what I post here.
I’m categorically NOT Tanya.

I want to know what the quality of life means, are they going to get even more woke.

LOL I campaign against the mods and tell the to read trust pilot a couple of weeks ago, and telling them how bad their forum is rated and they do all this

Well sorry but if the mods don't change , the forum is still in a big mess, they need to have better training, not get even more woke as it will be gone within 6 months if that's the case

Another DS refugee here! Shame to see the end of a very long era at DS, but then again the decline has been evident for some time and was/is clearly beyond repair. Biggest shock for me was when the moderators supported blatantly racist comments made towards me, by banning ME for two weeks. They can stick their forum and their ban-hammers up their asses.

Boo Radley 75 said they could see that decision reversed in a few months

James2001 said that's the end of his time on DS

Did they use their famous, you are "downplaying racism" excuse
No matter who offends you , if you get into any discussion that raises any points for discussion that's the excuse they use to throw a ban
 
Christ, can you imagine if Tanya came here?
He or she will be here via one name or another but I don't think the Tattle mods or members will put up with the nonsense and personal attacks on other members. I think TL will see a growth in members shifting from DS here in the very near future...mark my words.

I don't think DS had much choice other than shut down some sections but I am surprised they are leaving so much up to read as archives...they'll have to go sooner rather than later. Maybe its a case of leaving them their to allow angry members time to cool down and ween off the hate.

I do like how some users are telling Hearst it doesn't make commercial sense and talking about polls 😆. Hearst are actually in possession of all of the information and it was probably a very obvious decision to make. They've announced it now without asking people, so they're hardly going to care about what people think!

There has been so much litigious stuff said on DS over the years, that I reckon Hearst themselves have looked at the situation and decided to do something.

Yes, I had a bunch of alerts from several threads some months ago. The mods allow/support racist insults directed at forum members as long as the insult-er is a self-labelled left winger. It gives them license to say what they want. Some chap called BanglaRoad, for example, plus others. Yet I’m the racist, apparently.
