Nope. They are hacked accounts of FReepers in good standing.
Yep, my burner Inbox has been flooded with typo red flag emails within the last hour.
Just had Texas and elfman posting “Glizzy Glizzy” rant threads but only elfman was pulled yet as “robo”.
“I try to always check a link to make sure it is what it says it is before I click on it.”
That sounds like a really good habit to get into.
I don’t click on many links, so I haven’t experienced the problem. If the source identified is foreign to me, I don’t click on it. I think now if it’s a link to a source I trust I may go direct to the source and bypass the link. For example if the source in the thread says it’s from the NY Post, I will go to the post directly and skip the link.

Epic.
I honestly expected it to be closed down by now.
No, 5 accounts have been pulled, Behind Liberal Lines, BeauBo, texas booster, elfman2 and ShortStop.

Yeah, I clicked on a Fox News link and it certainly wasn't Fox.
I just deleted all my freepmail.
So If someone hacks my account they can’t read them..
(I needed to clean up that mess anyhoo)
I always try to hover over the link to confirm it goes to where I expect, before clicking on it.
It seems to have started about 10:16:00 pm CT with “Glizzy Glizzy” as the source.
Likely, it was a bot, because posts were seconds apart. That is almost impossible to do manually — that is, actually posting a new article from scratch.
At least the deleting will give the mods something to do for a while. :)
Not a bad idea!
Whoa, seeing a bunch of shit posted as Fox News!
That there is post of the week. LOL
There’s another thread going saying if the site was mirrored then the bad guys got your new password. I don’t know if it’s true or not.
FRiends, if you have a weak password. It would probably be a good time to change it! Otherwise, your account might be next!!!
Others might want to hold off changing their password until the mods say otherwise. They might have a different plan moving forward.
