Interesting. I admit I’m a little naïve when it comes to these things. When somebody posts to me, I just assume I’m talking to a regular guy or gal sitting at home telling me what’s on their mind. But it would make sense that certain campaigns may pay people to post on sites like this. Any rule of thumb on how to identify them? I suppose a signup date of less than a year might be an indicator.

“Any rule of thumb on how to identify them? I suppose a signup date of less than a year might be an indicator.”

it’s just a gut feeling several of us have based on based on massive frequency of posting and continuous ad hominem attacks on others. no hard evidence.

signup date not helpful. Looks like most are 1998/1999/2000 accounts that started becoming active again after long absences. possibly hacked or purchased accounts?
