Unwanted Graphics On The "My Comments" Page

[Admin Moderator]

Hi all.

We had a visit from another disruptor, who has decided to grace us with postings of a rather vulgar image (to put it mildly).

We have received a few mails from people asking if we could delete the picture from their "My Comments" page. At the moment, we cannot. In the interim, what you can do if one is in your "My Comments" page is to set the "My Comments" page to "brief" rather than "full". This will hide the content of the posts, thereby hiding the graphic. To switch the setting, just click on the word "Brief" near the top right of your "My Comments" page, or click here.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Additional advice: those who have Mozilla browsers can "right click" on the picture and select "Block images from this server". Next time the page is reloaded, you don't have to look at that garbage, just a nice blank spot.

I am pretty sure Mac users with iCab can do something similar.

The infamous Tub Girl.

Oh, dear. Can goatse be far behind? Er...let me rephrase that...

[Protagoras]

How can I get on the ping list of the poster? :^}

[avg_freeper]

It was gouge your eyes out bad. The sickest thing I've ever seen.

A big thank you to the AdminMods for taking care of it quickly.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Pictures now? Usually they just get on here and just trash President Bush. They're getting creative.

[Elkiejg]

Thanks -- was just getting ready to ask how to get rid of that disgusting post under My comments.

[GraniteStateConservative]

Funny thing how images can stick with you no matter how much you want them to go away. Fark on with your bad self.

[hapy]

desperate people do and say desperate things.

The more educated they think they are (think being the word) the worse they become

[skeeter]

Sure its gross, but an honest representation of what normally comes out of the average DU'ers mouth.

[Izzy Dunne]

It's not erotic if that's what you think.

Boy, I'll say.

However it IS emetic...

[SW6906]

What of the idea of not allowing newly registered people post for a given amount of time, or not post pictures until they've been "approved" or something....

[Admin Moderator]

Yes, that is the one.

Here's some interesting things about this troll. Sometimes people doubt us when we say that we have some people who pose here. They pretend to be conservatives, but they like what Dean says. Or they pretend to be conservatives, but they like what Kucinich says. Or they pretend to be conservatives, but would vote for Hillary over Bush (I am not making these up). Or they just make comments about how dissatisfied they are with Republicans. This incarnation of this troll is a good example. Before spamming the tub girl to as many threads as possible before getting nuked, here is what it was posting:

A Wake-Up Call - We failed Miguel Estrada and allowed Senate Democrats to erect a glass ceiling.
			Posted by andrew_marczyk to VRWC_minion On News/Activism 09/05/2003 6:23 AM PDT #32 of 37 Do you understand that a recess appointment is only for the current congresional session which ends every two years and the appointee doesn't get paid ? Now I do. Thanks. I'm a fairly recent immigrant to the US, and authough I recieved a pretty good education in US Government where I came from (England), there are many nuances I have yet to fully grasp.

			Posted by andrew_marczyk to steve8714 On News/Activism 09/05/2003 5:55 AM PDT #10 of 37 I agree that frist is weak, but as for breaking a sweat I have no doubt the dems would have gone 24x7 had the republicans forced them to. I see the so-called "nuclear option" as a bad idea because if, god forbid, the dem's take control of both the White House and Senate at some point, the GOP is going to need that filibuster to do the same to the liberal judges as the dems have done to Bush's constructionists. What I don't understand is why the hell Bush didn't use a recess appointment for Estrada. My gut tells me he would have had Rove not convinced him otherwise, but that is pure speculation.

			Posted by andrew_marczyk to goldstategop On News/Activism 09/05/2003 5:41 AM PDT #3 of 37 Alot of people seem to be blaming the GOP and Bush for Estrada's withdrawal when the blame should be laid squarely on the shoulders of senate democrats. That said, I can understand why the "nuclear option" was unworkable in the senate (bad precedent and all..), but I would like to know why Bush didn't appoint him during the recess. Anyone?

I am not 100% certain, but I believe this is the same person who posted a thread titled something like "Ronald Reagan Dead After Sudden Stroke" that had that graphic in the thread body with a message under it in a large red font saying "F#$% YOU REPUBLICAN NAZIS, Love, the E.L.F."

Just another loving, compassionate progressive. There are some sick people in this world.

[Physicist]

Fark on with your bad self.

That I will...or I maybe I'll go do SomethingAwful. ;^)

[Admin Moderator]

Because then they just sign up and wait until they get approved before doing it. Such measures don't prevent this sort of thing, and just prevent honest newbies from being able to join in.

[dighton]

IMO, the best thing for that kind of garbage is to hit Abuse, rather than replying. It gets nuked right away, and you don't have to see it anymore.

I tried your link but all I came up with was this

Consider yourself very, very fortunate.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Jeeeeeeeez - that is bad enough to gag a maggot.

[Admin Moderator]

You don't want this one. Trust me.

[GraniteStateConservative]

Yeah, but Tub Girl has a superpower that leaves you disoriented and unable to act rationally. You just want to rush to a toilet filled with bleach and stick your head in it-- with your eyes open.
