Does the low post count of our friend ...
"Name removed" ever stimulate your suspicions? I consider zero posts to be a low post count, but your milage may vary.

1. You may note... being "suspicious" of low post count posters is against the rules if you post it.
YEah, I know... joke... still, jes' sayin'....

8. We can't SAY it...
...but 'Alert' is our friend, lol.

The rule is a good one. Even Ghandi would start with a low post count. It's the content that tingles our Spidey-sense.

A related issue is profile content. A couple of recent posts suggested that a blank profile means someone is 'hiding something'. While I have no problem sharing personal information with fellow DUers--and I've done that in the threads--as a matter of internet security and privacy, I fill in only the required info on any website--even here. A 'blank' profile can't be used to infer anything, positive or negative, about a member--and comments on it should be alerted for mod action.

Gotta go, bobbo--wanta check to see if you have a 'suspect' profile... :)

:hi:

3. I think its a bug in the DU software, his post count probably overflowed the counters.
He's one of the most prolific posters here.

4. I've wondered about it for a while
Edited on Sat Aug-28-10 06:42 PM by rpannier
I've come to the conclusion that's it's a conspiracy

The next time DU has a name change I'm changing mine to 'Name Removed'

5. I find the low post count suspicious only because of how prolific Name Removed is.
Name Removed posts an awful lot.
