And a .Gladys. Such simple tireless innocent fun was the forums back then. I’m sure that would still happen here as it would appear to be easy to set up multiple accounts judging by some posters tactics. Back to News and Politics though and it looks a bit weird how that is starting to operate. Like IOM Newspapers today it got a huge flood of over 170 posts (before the thread was closed) on Syrian Refuges, and a good number seemed to be alt-right fake Facebook profiles who just dived in to agitate and then move on. Few were regular posters as he doesn’t really seem to have a huge amount of regular posters at the moment judging by my newsfeed. Same as IOM Newpapers today where a whole pile of sleepers seemed to come out of the woodwork to argue the tired alt-right line on immigration and then they’re off seldom to be seen again. Do you think he’s part of a Russian troll farm? Edited September 17, 2018 by thesultanofsheight Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I dont see any sleepers on here just a few new accounts that bring a fresh perspective to things which is good. I don’t see a whole pile of people who have never posted before, or who have seldom posted before, piling in on one or two threads to attempt to control them. In fact quite the opposite - on here it’s even more obviously the tired old accounts of regular posters doing that whenever they’re wheeled out when things are said they don’t like. The socks stick out even more now that there seem to be so few regulars left. Edited September 17, 2018 by thesultanofsheight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
