No matter how many I put on ignore, more and more appear every time I log in.

It's hilarious! I've already got several hundred or so of them on ignore, maybe as many as 500, and most had less than 200 posts when I put them there.

How can that happen without help from the admins? One has to admire their dedication.

That operatives set up dummy web site accounts years in advance as a tool to use when the need emerges.

We live in a world that has become a sick parody. As a middle aged dude I have been privileged to witness life before all this metastasized into our lives, and to be able to see the dark future where there is nothing genuine except our own love.

Accounts, been here forever and have 5 or 6 hundred posts all within last month, these are people who intended all along to be some sort of troll and made multiple accounts in order to be able to continue no matter how many they get ignored wit they then just go to another account.. I find it hard to believe that admin is no aware of this and of which are which. It alos looks like they are all hil fans which begs the question of"if admin is aware and condones this action"How
much of a democratic board this really is.. I have some serious doubts any more

The admins did, so we sent them requests to do an IP check when we suspected a zombie or sock.

Never saw any hint that the admins were interested in letting it happen, though. More than once, I saw EarlG or Skinner wander through MIRT to tell people to cool their jets when discussion of a long-term DUer went on for too long. OTOH, we've got obvious zombies and trolls wandering around now, and nobody's done shit about them.

PM me. and say the worst sort of shit you can possibly imagine or not imagine. Totally shocking BS from Hillary supporters. Like literally they want to kick out all the Bernie supporters out of the party and then some how get them back ie if I don't vote for hillary I can't vote for any other Democrat either X_X Reverse voting for Republicans huh?
