Ummm is it just me - or is there some weird posting going on tonight?

[dawg day]

1. It's the first time I put someone on 'Full Ignore'

Just too much spamming-- couldn't see anyone else's posts.

[Glorfindel]

5. Me, too.

Some things just aren't tolerable.

[bdamomma]

21. me three

First time for Full ignore

[Cha]

19. Not me.. I wanted to see how it played out..

2. Me thinks we have a asshole troll in our midst.

[Bev54]

34. More than one it seems

[arthritisR_US]

35. Really? Wow. The Russians just can't keep

their BS on their own soil, feck those assholes 😠

[pattyloutwo]

3. I don't know tech stuff

But looks intentional to overload and drive away discussion

[highplainsdem]

10. Yes. They're using a program to post lots of OPs per minute.

Trying to make DU useless.

[bdamomma]

23. well

we made them useless. On full ignore.

[highplainsdem]

25. They need to be deleted, or people who aren't logged in or aren't members will continue to see them.

[oasis]

27. I have my suspicions what's a work here, but our guys are equal

to the challenge.

[Ilsa]

28. Wow. 236 posts between 8:30pm and now.

No choice on presidential preference. I assume it's Trump!

[Renew Deal]

4. Just you

[Cha]

20. lol

[blitzen]

6. It's a Russian troll, trying to promote "defund the police" and link it to us...

Last gasp Trump propaganda

[2naSalit]

8. I was just on a jury

for one of the many posts. Hope it goes away.

[blitzen]

13. Thanks for that. I was on one just before I noticed all the posts...

I actually bowed out because the post had no relation to the rule. But I wouldn't have done so now.

[2naSalit]

16. I looked at

a few posts as I was realizing they all came form the same poster so I put them on ignore but then saw that others were not having it. I was going to unignore so I could alert on one but the jury thingy popped up first.

[peggysue2]

22. Same here, blitzen

I hadn't seen the multiple posts before I voted but the post in and of itself didn't appear to break the stated rule.

Now I see it's pretty clear the poster is maliciously spamming, not a product but malicious nonsense. To tie the board into knots.

[MustLoveBeagles]

31. So was I

There was another OP about this spammer so I clicked out of that page and saw all the postings. I'd gone to one and was going to report and ignore when I got the jury summons. I voted that the post be removed even though it didn't break the highlighted rule violation. It was clearly a troll. Glad they're gone.

[FM123]

7. I don't ever remember someone just posting non-stop for 100+ posts like that before. Wow.

[2naSalit]

11. Some kind of

speed post software?

[highplainsdem]

12. No one types that fast. They're using software to do this.

[FakeNoose]

33. That's what bots do - they're programmed to get in and out quickly

Do as much damage as they can before they get caught.

[Blue_true]

29. I have seen it maybe once or twice in the distant past on DU.

But not since the days when several people that eventually decamped to JPR were active on the board.

[TheBlackAdder]

9. I'm not weird, am I?

[underpants]

18. Well

Some of us have been talking....

[MustLoveBeagles]

32. Yes but we love you anyway

[Liberal In Texas]

14. I'm guessing Russian bot. What does it take to tombstone the thing?

[TheCowsCameHome]

15. That was a deluxe pizza for one.

Bye-bye

[smirkymonkey]

17. I was watching movie for a few hours.

I guess I missed all the excitement. I always seem to be offline when this stuff goes on.

[bdamomma]

26. trolls

can be annoying. Full ignore and they went away.

[smirkymonkey]

30. Kind of glad I missed it.

That's what I love about DU. I get so upset when I read comments on other websites that are just crawling with trolls. I don't know why I let them get to me, but they really do. I can't really spend that much time anywhere else except here and maybe WaPo and a few other liberal sites.

Thanks Bdamomma! Hope you are having a good evening!

[bottomofthehill]

24. I don't think I had that many posts in my first month

Let alone first day

[obamanut2012]

36. I woke up an hour and have been reading with my jaw dropping

Posts (many) implying Biden molests kids, for starters. Then so many others.

Then I saw DI was shutdown, and all I have to wonder if wtaf Skinner etal were thinking doing this a few months before the GE.
