SULLA was one of my favourite posters. Then he vanished. He was a gentleman, didn't care if they tried to mock him as he could take as much as he got, and we sometimes had a little PM together, even if I just thanked him for something.
I always used to agree with SULLA’s posts in the politics forum.... we were definitely in the minority there!! I was quite offended when I got my permanent ban, but now I’ve found this place and seen other’s experiences... I’m glad I’m not a member anymore.

Hearst are a big publishing company so don’t forget to boycott any of their publications... they also part own A&E Networks UK, responsible for the TV channels Crime and Investigation, Lifetime, Blaze, Sky History and Sky History 2. So if you want to hit them in the wallet, avoid all of the above!

i used to enjoy Sulla's posts too and he was never abusive. The loonies managed to get rid of him though.

Hi everyone! I’m also a former DS forum user - often frequenting the broadcasting, Sky and Mobile Phone sub-forums (under the same username) I was an active member since pretty much day one, until about 2 years ago when I dared to have a different opinion in the Politics forum. I’d gone from not having ever being sanctioned to getting a lifetime ban within a few weeks. I’d like to echo that I was an “outsider” as I had opposing views (I support Brexit and hate the Labour Party) and the packs of wolves were out in force, dishing out personal abuse, picking apart everything and rounding up others to “have a go”. Of course, when I retaliated I was banned. I reported the other members for their vitriol but they were allowed to continue unabated.

Not only am I glad to have only found this place today, I’m also glad that I wasn’t alone. I was made out to be the devil-incarnate and was bullied out.
Several of us have had the same experience. I think the problem may be that some of the sneering, vitriolic posters are mods themselves. Even appealing to the CEO of Hearst hasn’t worked, probably because they discus the appeal with those very mods. Eventually they might all drown in the vile, acidic broth that is the the politics forum! It used to be a very interesting forum where different views were respected, but if you don’t support Labour, and you voted leave, then you become the devil incarnate!

Eventually they will all disappear up their own backsides. An echo chamber ends in ever decreasing circles.:p

He had the nerve to be an older white Christian dude and I don't any other group is as hated as that on DS, or wasn't until Leave voters became a thing.

It is quite sad that DS has become such a, I don't even know the word to describe it now. You used to be able to have some light-hearted banter or an interesting discussion without getting pulled up because you'd put an apostrophe in the wrong place or having your post dissected word by word and having to explain what each meant but now it's having the life sucked out of it by people nit-picking posts, hating anyone who is not a member of Momentum or has different views, being permanently offended and having absolutely zero personality or sense of humour.

It's a shithole, not much of a forum when most of the time the comments are one sided only in many cases. As I've mentioned before, so many subjects are banned. Yep, you have the grammar police who love to correct you on simple mistakes. My favourite hangout was Showbiz but now
it's more or less dead, hardly any new subjects and people have moved away to other sections of the forum.

Anyone got any thoughts on the poster fairyprincess0, who claims to be trans but I strongly suspect is just a fetish freak looking to shock? Some of what they post is so creepy and does a great disservice to actual trans people. I am amazed they've never been banned. In one thread just now they've "joked" they'd be arrested if they donated their laptop to a school. o_O:confused:

I've seen their posts in passing and the odd bitchy comment in General Discussion but nothing that's ever really stood out to me personally but I haven't taken that much notice, probably because I've been riled up by something the usual suspects have said. DS does seem to have it's fair share of 'interesting' individuals, I can't say I've come across anyone like a lot of them in the real world.

I've seen this today. That's seriously creepy and suspicious. People like this piece of work should be banned and investigated. Bet they're not though.

This was another thread where their creepiness was taken to extreme levels.

I used to post/mainly lurk on DS years and years ago (different username).

Does anyone remember Crazy Chris? He seems to pop up in my memory for some reason. There was also an (Irish I think) girl who was one of the first to get 100k posts?? Apparently she was worked in admin but was doing more than a post a minute in stupid chat threads?

I also used to visit diabolik.tv (sp) if anyone remembers that?
Also - the time DS used to charge people £5 if they wanted to sign up using a gmail account 🤣🤣
Hello you! You were always one of my favourites! I haven't posted on DS in years! Back in the days when Crazychris and Koantemplation used to troll the duck out of the place. I was never a prolific poster. Spent most of the time lurking.
 
Not hard to imagine what sort of person the average mod would be like though. The description "socially inept" is the very kind version.



Oh those two are vile.

As is sorcha_47 and viva.espana.

Completely hideous human beings if their internet persona is anything to go by yet allowed free reign to run amok. WHY!
Yes viva.espana is a complete witch who can never accept another point of view 😄

I understand that a lot of the pseudo politicians on DS are also on twitter. Many of them post links to twitter. Mind you, some of them post links from the Daily Mail but only ever with a disclaimer to say that they don't read it because then they'd be out of the loop so to speak! Then others post about the comments in the Daily Mail online so that they can complain about them and appear to be one of the knobhead gang. They love to be permanently offended and outraged. It must be very tiring:D

Fairyprincess is the poster who claimed to work in Poundstretcher and dressed as a woman in his down time, not at work. If he's hinting he's got child porn on his computer, then that's not something to joke about. He's probably just trying to be shocking. I suspect he leads a fairly dull and lonely life. He described himself as a tall, broad shouldered man, so struggled to pass as a woman. I think he was a cross dresser rather than trans although I may be wrong on that point. If fairyprincess is trans, I shouldn't refer to him using male pronouns and for that, I apologise.
