Now that the current affairs section is dead

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Should come back as the 'Delle Alli Memorial Sub-forum'

The expectation is high but it's known, deep down, that it will eventually devolve in to a sewage treatment area.

This is exactly what the CA forum should have been, no separate threads just an absolute orgy of bonkers people screaming at the moon. If the mods ask this definitely isn’t the successor to the CA forum

I get that. Bit of a tightrope you’d rather not walk. Me neither.

I also think there was some troll farm activity there. That repeated copy/paste of full articles from 2 or 3 specific sources without any personal comment or opinion being offered doesn’t really seem like someone looking to engage on a topic, bot or not.

That is one of the classic bot/troll signs. I said the other day that I got one poster wrong when I banned him/her cos they acted like that. He/she was furious, and I apologised and all good. Bots/trolls never complain.

Don’t say this bit out loud, the AI will learn to evade your sleuthing.

No doubt. They are miles ahead of our modest resources anyrate.

Yeah, most definitely that going on. It's fine if long-time GOT contributors post a tweet or an article without context (as I have done) because they have a track-record of substantive contributions elsewhere in the forum. But when some new clown shows up and copies-n-pastes from very far right sources, this is essentially spam in my opinion.

Yeah, a quick check of someone’s 1am contributions after an Everton loss is a good test of whether someone is an unfeeling Artificial Intelligence, or an alcohol and rage-fuelled idiot.

I know what I am.

I think you can put links to Zerohedge down as the sure sign of a bot

Another @chicoazul multi thread closed

what ever next

@Joey66 reminiscing of replying to a advert from Oswald Mosley asking for black shirts in 1930s was quite a riveting read though

Hope Eddie Compton doesn't turn up he will smash the gaff apart

 

[maccavennie]

Hope its just a temporary thing with it being closed. Genuinely gutted. Amidst the tripe that some annoying tits post, there's a wealth of knowledge, opinions, great discussion, empathy day in day out.
