Because "moderators" allow it to happen, so this entire site is just a cesspool of SPAM and harassment...

Probably why so many political threads are bleeding over to regular misc.

Mods turn a blind eye to it.

Since the dark days of r/p when Pogue was a mod . He went a step further from allowing it. He locked republican or conservative threads. He banned conservatives while letting liberals spam, flame, etc. we had a troll who was a mod/admin.

That should say it all to anyone questioning the integrity of mods and this board. Smfh

You think a specific member is trying to bleed out a certain thread(s)?

Interesting, it always happens during hours where it's daytime or early evening in Australia.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Yeah, let me stop you there. The spammer has continued to post even after I returned from my ban. Besides, spamming a forum just to push stuff off the first page is useless since the account gets banned and posts deleted, so the effort is entirely futile.
Back off, Warchild.

Seriously.

What is the gain though?

I can understand if it is spamming links to another website or something someone is trying to sell, or even a virus/malware..but when it's just random letters:


fhjkewrbfhbehfb

vkavjbjkfv

What's the point? That's why I feel it's likely another user.

Relax Bodhy, I'm not saying it's you

Ahh- that's deeks/ legit sad mental ill dude.

He's the same one that used to come on occasionally making multiple threads about losing his job- normally at hertz- mark1lt stuff/ and some other weird things / old school leftist that kinda lost it.

He would shotgun a bunch of threads then- just more active mods at the time.

My understanding is mods just rarely visit this section now- not that they ignore the threads

Screw nature; my body will do what I DAMN WELL tell it to do!

Damn, I can't say I remember the guy but what odd behavior to make so many threads and put that much time into trolling

Sounds like you've thought quite deeply about this.
