Yep, seems to be making posts just for the sake of posting. Odd. 12 AD posts in 17 minutes.

Yup, seems to be a troll.

That person is just copying what other people previously posted. For example, this from 2006:

viewtopic.php?f=7&p=2350456#p2350456

copied a short time ago:

viewtopic.php?f=7&p=7501545#p7501545

Edit: not copying posts in every case, but in some of them.

viewtopic.php?f=7&p=7443425#p7443425

copied:

viewtopic.php?f=7&p=7501535#p7501535

etc...

Thanks. Without looking too hard I found two other examples by the same user: one had a word removed (copied from one topic and posted to a different one), the other had three words added. I'd link to them but I'm old and tired. :sleeping: :wink:

"IT" is an Egyptian, that is how Middle Eastern posters post, fast and furious. Unless it happens every day (very unlikely) then just forget it.

Anyway, the guy put as much thought into his AfterDark posts as most other driveby posters there and no one reports them.

Yeah, Middle Eastern fast and furious posters who copy other people's posts for the hell of it should be tolerated unless it happens every day. :lol:

Wow, that guy likes to resurrect dead stuff. Shouldn't threads lock themselves after a number of weeks of inactivity?

What sort of man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.
