24. Is this like blaming someone for holding a counterfeit banknote?
Sun Mar 1, 2026, 04:16 PM
Yesterday

Honestly, we get daily scoldings about this.

Perhaps we should look to DU’s site admins for DU guidance on this topic.

Maybe a special MIRT position can open up for the right DUer to monitor posts and block offending content?

I, however, do not want to in any way interfere with forum moderation.
