Related: About this forumA quick word about a couple of DU updates
Hello everyone,
We've just opened two new top-level forums, as discussed previously on a number of occasions. The new forums are:
Latest Trump BS
If you are considering posting a new thread about something outrageous that Trump just said to distract people on the Internet (as opposed to something outrageous that his administration just did in the real world), consider using this forum.

The Way Forward
If you would like to discuss where Democrats should go from here to take back power, consider using this forum.
https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1324
These forums don't have a lot of new threads yet since they've only just been opened, but they are available to be posted in right now.
In addition, we have made an adjustment to our Jury Service pages. Now, when serving on a DU Jury, you will see the forum which the alerted post is in, displayed at the top of the page. This additional piece of information provides additional context which Jurors might find useful when serving.
Thanks for reading

(68,677 posts)Both new forums will be used. I hope "The Way Forward" will be used more instead of the onslaught of venomous bs on the felon. We all know that (BS) forum will be used constantly. But we need to watch out for our mental health.

(2,899 posts)The jury change is a great addition as I've wondered a couple of times.....
You are Amazing, Thank you.
Think. Again.
(22,330 posts)More than once I personally have had posts removed because the post itself, out of context of the discussion, seemed to be a removable offense, but when taken in context of the thread and the post they were made in reply to, were obviously not meant to offend.
And thank you for the new forums!

(27,713 posts)Such as major disasters in the US only and then limited to mostly national news like federal cases regarding major laws that impact the nation itself and natural disasters in the US.
Otherwise it's limited to major federal and state issues.
No more things about AI or issues that don't impact the US in a truly major way.

(24,489 posts)I believe that will be really helpful in making good decisions as a juror.
Who wouldve ever thought we would need called TRmp Latest BS? Well, here we are. I predict that it will be a fast moving forum.
Thanks EarlG and Elad.

(3,658 posts)With the capitulation of all of the major social media platforms, DU will be important. I still hope for a moderated platform where red hats and blue hats can share views without triggering hate bots, and echo chamber lies are called out and killed.

(10,399 posts)Regarding jury service: I apologize if the answer seems obvious, but it's not to me. Could you please clarify how we can judge if someone posted something in good faith or just to disrupt? I have actually backed out of jury duty after carefully considering whether or not the post in question broke the rule because I didn't feel I could know what the intentions of the poster were.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

(26,489 posts)But REALLY loving knowing what forum a jury is called for. I have backed out in the past because I wasn't sure if the post reported could be a misunderstanding in a forum/group with specific norms as opposed to a rule breaker like would be more clear in General Discussion.
Great addition.
