This thread, which was created by an account dormant for three years until the last 6 months and the start of the brigade

Posts from...X days ago, 1 month, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 months ago. 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years. Admittedly, not a super prolific poster, but how can you just skip over all that?

What's the allegation here? Because it's been active, at least to some extent, longer than almost anyone here. Was this a con job from basically when this site started?

And perhaps the high upvotes on the post were because people are fed up with shit here? I just checked, some of my most upvoted threads have been bitching about modding...and I don't use bots. It's just a popular topic, because the mod here keeps shitting the bed.

Also, if who you're talking about is running or participating in the brigade, and running bots...wouldn't they also run bots on the pedo, who is also part of the brigade? Why wouldn't pedo posts be upvoted, if it's all some big conspiracy? Would certainly help his goal of shitting up the place, if he could pull dozens of upvotes, instead of downvotes.

Nah, I think that shit's organic. People don't like the modding here, because he keeps dropping the ball.

Perhaps the OP had good intentions or bad intentions, but that doesn't look like botting to me. For better or worse, he latched on to the zeitgeist of 'holy shit this place sucks because the mod isn't doing his damn job.'
