This is NOT to John but to whomever -- presumably someone more on the Schwarzenegger side of things -- is adding the ridiculous "gag" Keywords. As of 12:12 pm PDT, I see BUSTMANTEPROPAGANDA; CALGOV2002; MISINFORMATION; SPIN.

Seen this one?

Whoever you are, cut it out. And bear in mind that additions of keywords are logged; the admins can see who you are. If you think the article is bad, post something saying so, but lay off the keyword crud.

I was under the impression that, as with abuse reports, Mods can't see who's posted the keywords.

I don't know, personally, but I read portions of a thread -- one heavily "grafitti'd" with such keyword additions -- that the mods, or perhaps it was (solely?) JimRob, had access to such things. I HOPE so.

Heck, if someone's going to add keywords, they at least could try to be sufficiently clever as NOT to make it clear that the added keywords are bogus.

If Schwarzenegger + McClintock now together have enough votes to enable both of them to beat Bustamante if their votes are properly divided between them, that means that together they are going to get more than twice Bustamante's votes. If that's true, then there's no chance Bustamante can be elected no matter how the votes are divided between Schwarzenegger and McClintock. And that means conservatives are perfectly free to vote for McClintock, since there's no chance their not voting for Schwarzenegger will elect Bustamante.

McClintock may not be able to win, but the more votes he gets, the more influence he will have on future policies.

Not so, Sabertooth. Keyword additions are definitely logged. AM posted such a list on another thread a couple of weeks ago.

They can see keywords AND abuse reports. If you send in an abuse report without checking the "sign my name" box, your name won't automatically pop up next to the complaint. But if the Mods really want to know who sent it, they can find out.
