Cause lately im seeing a flood of posts from a very few posters(whos names I will omit). These threads appear to me to be just for the sake of misleading or confusing people or to just push Good posts off the 1st page and out of focus of the forum. Anyone have thoughts on this matter?
Peace

This issue is being addressed on an ongoing basis. I don't know about payment, it seems people can have their own personal axe to grind. It can be tricky to balance free speech as well as limit abuse of the forum.

Yes it is. That is our immune response to an infection of thread-starting, a kind of probationary exile to a single thread.

You never seem to hang around to discuss your threads, you just post-it-and-go!

It was not intentionally, you know.

Many volunteer groups use internet postings for activism:

WHILE Israel fights Hezbollah with tanks and aircraft, its supporters are campaigning on the internet.

Israel's Government has thrown its weight behind efforts by supporters to counter what it believes to be negative bias and a tide of pro-Arab propaganda. The Foreign Ministry has ordered trainee diplomats to track websites and chatrooms so that networks of US and European groups with hundreds of thousands of Jewish activists can place supportive messages.

In the past week nearly 5,000 members of the World Union of Jewish Students (WUJS) have downloaded special "megaphone" software that alerts them to anti-Israeli chatrooms or internet polls to enable them to post contrary viewpoints. A student team in Jerusalem combs the web in a host of different languages to flag the sites so that those who have signed up can influence an opinion survey or the course of a debate.

I'm one of them, but not on this forum, since as a Nationalist I support Zionism (but fair treatment of Palestinians, who are currently the lawn care providers of Israel).
