From FR homepage:
Over 400,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic since inception in 1996 and our forum is read daily by over one hundred thousand freedom loving citizens and patriots from all around the country, and all around the world. We're currently delivering over twenty million pageviews per month to over one million monthly visitors. Oh, we're big stuff all right:
How many are sleeper registrations from 1998, 2000, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2016, whenever trolls register a bunch of accounts during election and controversy years, lose some to zot, and start using some with a first post 6-8 years after signup date?
This should be good.
Eh...particular skillset that will not be greatly appreciated until it’s needed.
I’ll stay in my little group....very content here. Breathe...breathe...pop. ;)
It was better in the original Charlton Heston (at least the last sentence).
I think review of language patterns, topics followed etc are also used.

Sounds like II
“My untimely support of Ted Cruz nearly had me banned. At the time, I had no particular beef against Trump; just preferred Cruz’s proved conservatism. Didn’t sit well as the tide turned.”
This purge (or heavy moderation of) of Cruz supporters resulted in a lot of reliable donors being banned, which (I think) is why Freepathons are so long now.
“My ordinary account uses (more or less) my real name.”
Mine does, too. If I used an alias I’d forget it and never be able to post here at all!
THAT’S the one!
Thank you!
Classic. Had a lot of fun with that one.
Thank you!

“I got zotted for 18 months in 2005”
That was an unusually long year, wasn’t it? It must have had something to do with global warming.
That’s where the term ‘retread’ comes from. Instant zot if you’re caught.
Ash...is that you?
“Your MAC address isn’t sent over the Internet.”
Yes it is. You need to read up on what are called ‘web beacons’ that gather this information from your computer and send it back to whoever wants it from you.
I have never been zotted, but was disappointed in the religious bigotry and left for several years (different user name). I used to donate twice a year.
I don’t see how poor Jim keeps from pulling all his hair out because of the inane antics of some cretins on FR.
Herding cats comes to mind.
It would probably take using a different browser, but I bet it could be done.
Oh, be very careful of going to nutso leftist sites without at least masking your ip.
It is very easy to compile a list of ip addys of the people who post on a site like FR and if you see them sneaking around your SJW site you can target them to see if their computer is vulnerable to attack.
Use TOR browser at least!
Here’s one easy way to compile ip addys of people on a site like FR.
Post tiny images on the site in threads but store the image on a server that you control...so you can get the ip logs.
A good method is to create a super tiny image of somehing like a period . as it loads super fast, puts no real strain of a home server, and 99.999% of people will have no clue it is an image and not an actual character.
I got my first zot in 1906 for calling TR the nation's first marxist president...Which, years later, led to 4 more...(Wilson, FDR, Klintoon, and the marxist moslem, obunghole)
Grampa Dave keeps a zot list. Ask him who the banned freeper in ‘16 was.
They can read IP’s so no to different accounts.Before that we had a lot of trolls.Troll hunting was fun and you could get them to melt down.I am friends with a few who have left-they are on facebook.Both have active accounts here just stopped posting .
