I think there's some serious trolling happening, but it's slick...

[mike_c]

...and almost subtle. Further, despite there being an abundance of names I've never seen before, it's almost as if there are actually only a few people posting under multiple user names-- a lot of well placed, subtly disturbing posts, but none that were "bwaahaahaa-- libtards suck!" And that implies a long setup time and a plan, but why the hell would anyone want to invest the effort to do that? Is my tinfoil hat just too tight?

1. They need to turn on the post counts atleast

[underseasurveyor]

16. We don't need no stinking post count to spot em

The trolls are way too easy to pick out of the crowd. They aren't near as slick as they think they are. Idiots:dunce:
Just hit alert on em and *POOF* they'll be gone. It's like magic;-)

[flowomo]

2. why would it matter, mike?

[mike_c]

10. ultimately, I don't suppose it does....

I'm just reporting my impression.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

3. No, it's not.

I see it too. Hit alert.

[LisaLynne]

4. Nope. I think your hat fits just perfectly. nt

[givemebackmycountry]

5. Maybe so...

That's why I thought it was a bad idea to xxx out our posts.
This way we would at least have an idea who was for real and who was not.

6. tinfoil

if it goes the wrong way, we'll need steel hats

7. almost subtle is the key.

tonight is troll heaven, it seems.

[Spider Jerusalem]

8. I have seen some of this of which you speak.

Quite a bit of it, actually. Ever-so-subtly off-kilter posts that come across as almost caricature of a conservative's idea of what a liberal would be saying.

[mindfulNJ]

9. I've noticed that too...

I've never seen this place so negative.

[Cat Atomic]

11. I don't think it's very slick, personally.

Lots of conservative nitwits putting on their best faux panick attacks.

[mike_c]

14. but that's just it-- why would "lots" of nitwits all play the same...

...game? It's not so subtle as to be undetectable, so it's almost easy to spot the posts that are likely trolls, but why so little variation? It's strange.

[Vickers]

12. Slick? Fuck that, I've alerted about 40 posts so far.

These dipshits are about as subtle as Bush*'s fake-ass "Texas" accent.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

13. All these bring the draft back threads... What's with that?

[Swamp Rat]

15. Lots of trolls

... that need to go enlist and fight in Iraq for their retarded leader.

[pa28]

17. I think you are correct.

I wish skinner would turn the post counts back on. Many of the doom and gloom threads are started or perpetuated by complete strangers.

[Spider Jerusalem]

18. You can still see post counts.

As long as the person has a profile. But you need to go back to the forum index and click "profiles", then look for their username by going to the appropriate letter of the alphabet (search probably doesn't work right now).

19. Only a freeper would know that!!!!!
