There are a lot of spamming accounts on this board. Replying is a waste of time. If someone is pasting the same messages over and over, especially those with a long list of links and partisan or affiliated messages, downvote all the copies. Everyone has a right to speak their mind, but pasting the same garbage to every poster, or the same 10 different messages to every post, whether related or not, is a clutter and waste of time. Exercise democracy by downvoting them - they will quickly disappear to the bottom of the threads. Replying only brings the message back in the recent comments rotation, but downvoting is silent, anonymous, hassle-free, and immediately effective.
Go ahead and vote my spam down. At least you'll be practicing for voting.
:D true democracy
Spammers: Feel free to post here, so we can practice on you. ;)
good idea
