it's troll hunting season
Advertisements [?]
i'm off to bed soon. i've been posting like mad trying to get out of the damn 700 club.

in clicking nearly every single thread since 9pm, I've noticed MANY trolls. I mean, WAY up from a few months ago. Obviously it's because the election is near.
The point I wasn't getting to is: should we raise the bar of how many posts a person has until they can start their own thread?

The first thing I do when reading posts is check the number of posts a person has. If it's under 100, I'm VERY suspicious. Half the time it seems, the person says something sane, to get their posts up, then starts a thread exposing themselves as a freeper.

Anyone else getting VERY wary of people with almost no posts/ haven't donated?
Should we make people contribute before they're allowed to start threads?
