Shill Amnesty - The Non-Public Option

51 posts in this topic

Well, Wertham isn't going anywhere since Steve B. came out on his side. I have yet to see any mod go against his wishes confused-smiley-013.gif893scratchchin-thumb.gif

 

I think I said something to the extent that I thought he/she was harmless and funny but, I would go with whatever the mods wanted. I just do not care.

 

Oh, and ....................welcome back Brad! smile.gifyay.gif

 

Thanks Steve. wink.gif

The other day in trying to answer aman619's "How Many Are We?" question, I took a look at all the registered users here, sorted by post count. Something like 8000 user names here. About 2000 of them have zero posts.

 

Sleeper Shills! 893whatthe.gif

 

Another option would be inquisitive people who sign up to read about CGC books, policy, pricing, etc.....who then get lost in the graemlin wars and useless arguments on the boards, and they move on...and don't come back. frown.gif

 

Now whether these type of folks would have been a positive contributors to the boards is truely unknown...and that's why getting rid of shills is a good start for the mods and the newly formed Forum Relations Board.

You mean when someone rates a girl as "apparent" because she might have fake jugs? Oh man, slays me every time.

There is some merit to that argument Mica. I just had an excellent transaction with a lurker who has a total of 0 posts.
