I'm Not So Sure...

I'm beginning to suspect that certain people have multiple e-mail addresses and are using them to spam here. I have no ideas on how to counter this, short of doing the same. So this should be a place for ideas on how to counteract this practice.

Why Is This Idea Important?

Spammers are nothing more than petty haters. The spammers on this site are obvious right wing nut jobs that deserve no respect. They do nothing to contribute and only spew their juvenile drivel in the form of redundant posts that get no traction because they have no merit.

Why would you think that?

If anything, I'm surprised there hasn't been more spam, so far the boards look pretty clean.

There doesn't seem to be a way of putting a stop to the disruption of the site. It's already been destroyed anyway. Good work, birthers.

This persons name is ACCOUNTSTEALERZ, and he claims to not be a spammer with multiple logins...? How many accounts have you stolen, accountstealerz?

Yeah, the birthers have totally wrecked this site to promote bogus claims in an attempt to unseat a president that they think is "foreign." Judging from a few posts I have seen come and go, I suspect that for many of them "foreign" is code for "not-white." For the others, I am convinced that "foreign" is code for "smart" or "articulate" as these loonies have an automatic distaste for anything that's well written, spelled correctly, or adequately thought out. This is evidenced by the fact that you can usually tell how good an idea is here by the amount of votes it has- there are some exceptions, but in most cases the lower the ranking the better the idea.

In any case I don't think there is any way to counter their stupidity without sinking to their level and spamming back at them- but that would just feed into their conspiracy mindset even further causing the rest of us even more annoyance in the long run.

See this post for a good laugh at some pretty honest truth about the mindset of the birther conspiracy:

So yeah, thumb up.

Wemo Mike, why do your people call those they don't like names like "birthers" and "teabaggers"?
I thought you Kieth Oberman girly types were above that being so intelligent and all. I mean you people constantly tell us how bright you are and how ignorant conservatives are.... why throw the names?
Besides, isn't it a form of generalizing? Kind of like all of us racists who pretend to be disgusted with the policy's of this guy, but are actually against him because he is black.
Isn't it just possible we see Obama for what he really is? A man who hates this country. Think about this guy and his background for a minute. Even if you hate conservatives don't you want to have a President who follows the Constitution? Don't you think the ideals of the founding fathers are critical to our nations existence?

rich- I haven't seen many actual conservative arguments posted to this site- mostly a bunch of people repeatedly asking the same tired question. Many have been racist, even more have been poorly worded, and most have just been spam. There is one legitimate request for our President's birth certificate on this site, and it's available to be voted on here:

http://opengov.ideascale.com/akira/dtd/4766-4049

And yes, I will marginalize this group as "birthers." It's my first amendment right to free speech granted by the CONSTITUTION that you all love to point out, but likely know nothing about. It's my right to point and laugh at ignorance when I see it, and being called a "birther" is just about, but not quite, as marginalizing as being called a "left wing extremist" or a "communist" by the majority of the "birthers" for simply not agreeing with your propaganda. How ya like them apples?

In every post that I have seen that addresses transparency in any other way than "where's the birth certificate?" there is always some moron who steps up off topic to ask the same TIRED question- disagree with that moron, get called a commie- simple as that. It's a crap way to conduct business.

What's more, others' legitimate ideas are voted down in an effort to increase exposure to THE SAME TIRED QUESTION. Or else you guys have lost the ability to read anything other than those two words and vote these ideas down because English is now a language of communists.

A lot of us, the MAJORITY of us- from SANE conservatives, through the realm of the moderates,and all the way to the other guys on the left- are tired of this question, none of us are buying into your lame assertions, and we would just like some peace and quiet to enjoy some grown up time at the table without the whiny brats running around mucking up the works.

For your information, moron who commented under me (sorry not referring to your name)- it is my e-mail account that resulted in my name on this site.

Nonetheless, it does not say MultiAccountCreatorz

Hmmm. "Isn't it just possible we see Obama for what he really is? A man who hates this country."

Anyone who says this kind of manure deserves and will get no respect from the majority of Americans, including me.

Well said, pcbcraft!

It's obvious the right wing scum are funding a "virtual boiler room" to spam this site. I mean it's so obvious it's not even a question. The only question is who's funding it.

Either someone like Scaife is footing the bill for this massive waste of time, or these right wing scum are on some form of taxpayer funded dole.
