Baron You have a very respectable very light touch when it comes to censoring free speech rights. You believe in the market place of ideas. I always thought if I had a forum I would follow the same practice. That is, until, I saw this post election tactic brought to you by a group or groups with a devious plan. The left on this site does not win with quality content as they are typically one post deep... so they created a new strategy. Big Noise. In short they have created approximately 10 times the noise in your Signal to Noise ratio. When you come here there are now precious few interesting threads at the top of the board. They keep posting dozens of useless threads with slight variations and fake news. They also destroy the meaningful threads with derails. (I know as I fall for it.) I am not asking you to ban anyone. I am providing an observation. I wonder how long a site with a high noise ratio will do well in the search rankings. I also wonder how long true content providers and those who enjoy real conversations with the other side will remain.
What you say does happen sometimes. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...44-of-resident-citizens-of-voting-age.311955/ https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...-ca-counties-than-voting-age-citizens.311924/ https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...-deported-but-shes-sorry.311954/#post-4497452
These guys literally post fake news and then complain about noise. Look at the LA County fake news, Seth Rich conspiracies and all the fake climate change 'papers' that they can't even find a peer review source.
Don't be too hard on them. They are doing what is required of DNC "social media volunteers." You know when you are a commie, you are always striving to get that extra potato in your rations for the month.
I'm forced to agree with AK Forty Seven. Hit the ignore button and stop feeding the troll. It's very simple.
Its nothing more than a sign of desperation. The reason Tony and exGoper post that crap is because their side is devoid of ideas.
Jem, I had the same thought over the weekend, the P&R fourm has been overrun by a couple of different posters who post new threads continuously throughout the day. No one I know, trader, entrepreneur, active in business or retired has the time to post so much. Obvious shill team tactics.
