I am asking the administrators to tombstone all posters who post hoax VP posts
It's gotten old, this election has done terrible things to my nervous system, and I have no sense of humor.

Suspended until the VP is announced would be appropo
Hopefully they'd get the message.

14. Nah, tombstone. It's freaking stupid.
This type of BS was **never** funny, but a new reject jumps out with it every five minutes.

I must have added 20 people to my ignore list over this crap.

16. Please show me the humor in this same exact BS being done over and over and over.
It's not. It really wasn't even that funny the first time.

8. There should be suspensions for a lot of the nonsense that goes on here,
particularly for those who believe they are so clever in posting fake stories or come-ons with the "made you look" attitude.

22. Lighten up.
I'm willing to bet many posters here have more riding on this whole election than you do, no matter how concerned you may be. And yet they aren't asking for people to be tombstoned. Hopefully, they are having a few laughs, because some of the hoax posts are quite amusing.

23. Tombstoning is probably extreme but I hope that the mods lock those threads.
I've alerted on them and asked the mods to consider locking them.

25. One way you will know a hoak post is if a single thread comes up saying "I've got the text message"
or "It's so and so" and no other threads say this. You know that since everybody is pretty much getting texed or e-mailed at the same time that there will be several threads that will pop up around the same time announcing the same thing.
