Is this forum a free for all? Yes, and we like it that way. But that doesn’t mean certain members here can just spam without regard to the continuity of conversations.

The last time I contacted admin about something to do with this board the response I got was much different from what they are saying today. The response I got was short and simple

I think they are doing “some” moderating of the Board because occasionally I’ll post and get the “submitted, your post will be up shortly” message.  I think there are keywords that might trigger review, but I’m not sure.

I cant remember the last time one of my posts was moderated of the non random kind.

It's not surprising that someone making forty posts a day on this board alone would encounter it more than the rest of us, but it does happen to ALL of us.  

You’re kind of a staple here.   But if you don’t rein in your spamming, don’t be surprised if TER puts you in time out.

by other members of TER on this Board, more reads of individual posts, and more actual, robust discussion. There is very little reason to do an OP now as the spammers will knock it off the first page in a few hours before any discussion is generated.  

Agreed. We are making some breakthroughs with a few olive branches lately so keeping the threads from flying off the first page would be a GREAT addition.

Excellent points. It’s very frustrating to see conversations cut short or disappear because of the spamming.  Not exactly my suggestion, as the Admin initiated a written warning against Bimpa.  I think the other spammer is beginning to realize there is an unspoken warning hanging over him too.

Before there were two of them you could have a post go into random moderation and still be part of the conversation, but with TWO of them by the time a post comes out of queue the thread has already been relegated to the second page.

I would just like to quote from TER’s posted guidelines regarding postings on TER Discussion Boards:
“Insults, personal attacks, name calling or intimidation have no place in civil discussions and are not welcome on TER. Ever” Please note that it does not exclude the Politics and Religion Board even though it technically is unmoderated. The ongoing rantings and constant attacks of a few have driven a number of people away which is very unfortunate.

Don't be the scrooge. Live, let live.  

and there seems to be near unanimous agreement here that it would be a move in the right direction.  Only one person seems to be opposed to it, and hopefully the TER Admin sees that clearly.

I will give a shout out to Mari for starting it and Once for picking up the baton. Two lefties who did good work on this front.  

I have been treating you with respect. Why cant you do the same?

do not need to insult.  Will admit, after being insulted countless times, began giving as good as I received.  Have decided I will no longer return the favor, unless the insult is so extreme, it is worthy of something proportionate.

spammer and that is "bimpa."  Rarely are his posts readable.  Even less frequently is there any substance to them.

"bimpa."  He is the ONLY spammer on this board.  I know another poster, who posts with relative frequency.  But that poster's contributions are far from spam.

this board is recognized by all, and that is a good thing.  You have already proven you are articulate enough to cut down on the hyperbolic insults.

all of us to check ourselves.  I know I will.  Everything else prior to today is all "water under the bridge" as one articulate, poster who disagrees with me MOST of the time, told me.

You are talking in a calm civil manner, So is Jack, cks, Mari (who is always calm, always wrong, but always calm. lol) and pretty much everybody, including myself at the moment. Now look who is literally screaming into their computer screens as they type. It's like they are terrified that peace might break out.  I won't name them, everyone is free to make that determination for themselves, but it's pretty clear who wants to at least "try" to be civil and who does not.

but let's see how it plays out and although I know "don't feed the troll" is very hard to do. Let's just try not to let any actual discussions that get started here end up getting hijacked by our versions of either ANTIFA or the KKK.

But the end result is the same.  

I do appreciate you "getting their attention" and if the board does become a bit more civil, even if for just a while than YES, you certainly deserve much of the credit.

GaG is exactly what it makes me do.
Mealy-mouthed hypocrites.

Socialists ought to appreciate that just one loud voice shouldn't drowned out all other voices.  I think that's the issue.  It's not the content, or even in many cases the extremism.  It's just that the lone loud voice hijacks every conversation -- very anti-social.

substance, but agree with GaGa on hyperbole.  Makes sense we do consider all past posts as water under the bridge.

really not in it.  Clearly there is a lag between posts.  If you continue to hurl insults back, you just may be adding fuel to the fire.

how true this IS!  What he posts from this point on, will be exhibit "B."  We have already been inundated with exhibit "A," and it ain't pretty.

place to spend one's time anymore.  Too many children that ignore substantive content and just want to rant that everything in the world that is not perfect is Trump's fault.  It's gotten really old for me.  

thought my post was an overreaction, thanks for proving my point.  

I said that to jerk the chain of the poverty-stricken Libs here like you.  Do you really think the SBA is going to approve me for an 800K loan, but that I don't have $20,000 of my OWN?  You really didn't think this through, did you?  This might be one of your posts that you should ask the mods to take down.  I can't remember when I've made you look more stupid than this.

1.   Welcome to bulletin boards on the interwebz. Spam is included for free.  There is no sanity check at the ticket booth.  

Remember when this place was on life support and there were really only five posters here, You, me, BFSF, IMP and the five year old with his hair on fire.  

Your post is a perfect example of the chum you consistently sprinkle throughout the TER ocean and then end up being surprised when the sharks start biting.

I can understand where you’re coming from, but the reality is most of us here, conservative and liberal alike, can see when CDL is being sarcastic.  I took CDL’s reference to his $20,000 Hawaiian escapade as humor, not chum.  And the only one who really had a chum response was not a shark.  Laffy is anything but a shark.

He was able to stay on topic a year ago when all of the political news was about Russian collusion, Trump treason, Impeachment and the like, but once the terrain started shifting to expose the criminal conduct of the Obama administration, FBI and Deep State, he can't seem to keep a coherent thought in his head.   I have continued to throw him a bone now and then so he gets his daily dose of rabid trump-bashing and name-calling, but I think the days of any sense of reasonableness on his part are behind him, mostly because the deep state is being exposed and in the next few months, the part that Biden played in the illegal activities will be fully known by the public, torpedoing any thoughts he had of being prez.  (Like he had a chance anyway with his failing mind - lol)

I’ll admit I was surprised that AdminTER6 stepped in to issue a warning. The standard recourse is the ignore button.

or two, longer than you and see a broader picture.  But compliments to you for sticking up for a member of your "tribe."

I recall once they gave me a stern "talking to" over something I posted. I told them to fuck off. They gave me 30 days. When I used the classic "EC" description in my next reply, they made it 90 days. I'm sure no one missed me.

Are you coming off "forced vacation" now? lol

Hi Jack! Actually not. Been laying low. All is well. How's things with you? Funny to see all the usual whack jobs here spamming the board lol

Mari, and many others, think Bimpa and Laffy are both spammers. Many libs disagreed. I took a more nuanced view. Bimpa is spam, Laffy is Spam Lite. lol

Haven't been paying enough attention to Bimpa so no comment there. Laffy is Laffy. Worthless. Totally.

What have I missed around here? Looks same old same old to me?

ability to recognize the truth when they hear it, and prepared to slap Trump around when he starts telling people to drink Clorox again.

Nick has switched sides and is now on #TeamLaffy.  

Well, I wish I could say I was surprised but I’m not. What does surprise me a tad is Laffy keeping up with the volume of noxious nonsense he continues to spew. I know he doesn’t have a job now we have confirmation he has no life. What a slug 🐌

I haven’t seen Bimpa post lately.

He likely finally passed out after staying up for three weeks straight pounding his keyboard from his mom's basement.

if he is going to try to "Out-Laffy" Laffy, he needs a lot more stamina than what he's shown. He still isn't anywhere near half of Laffy's post count for the month. The right needs a new champion to stand up for our right to spam the board too.

history, but have seen Laffy get ganged up on.  Makes sense he speak up for himself.  Could I have missed something.  I do not see Laffy's posts as a problem, other than the hyperbole.  But if today and the last couple of months are any indication, it has been flying in both directions rather steadily.

objectivity, Mari, after Laffy insulted you for taking someone's side who Laffy does not agree with?

It’s possible that Mari’s objectivity is tilting a bit, but given the voluminous vulgar insults hurled his way in the past few days, can you find fault there?

Now, I don’t think you have insulted me lately (but who the hell knows with all the spam on the Board) but I want you to make 1253 posts over the next 30 days, and let’s see if I label you Spammer No. 3. (Spoiler alert- I will!). It does not matter if all 1253 of your posts say “Trump is bad,” or mention some other news headline-the effect is the same: you knock the posts made by everyone else off the first page.

And he's doing most of it. Ass-isted by his busy little ass-wiper, GaGa.

Laffy - most posts are cogent and informative! And, honest. Like it or nots they try to move issues at hand to left.
Bimba - all posts read like word soup and stink and look like sewer! None of them are honest ... what I have read and I have to admit I have stopped reading.

fingers - oh sorry you don’t have all fingers due to a birth defect!  
Oh I forgot you can’t count!!!  
Anyone that likes your post must like to drink sewer but I don’t think that’s true!  
You LimpaDick and EmptyBrain!!!!

One can always tell when Laffy’s been “had.” Lol six full babbling paragraphs. Kinda hard to read but still quite telling.  

for you.  Are you trying to give BigPOS a run for his money?  He's been the meltdown king ever since TER came back in the US.  You just can't stand to be in second place to anyone here, can you?  Even when it comes to public meltdowns.  

If you are going to continue to post like this, at least ask someone close to you, preferably someone who graduated from high school, (if you know anyone who did), to email google and ask them to write some code for a translator that can help us understand the garbage you post.

Aren’t you and GAG BFF’s? What’d I miss?
