Oh yeah, we had a few Nazis hit the board a few years ago... Stormfront and everything. They didn't last long, because none of us were buying that crap, but that didn't stop 4 or 5 of them from making the attempt.
They're every bit as nasty as any rabid liberal.
Haven't seen any roll in here in quite a while, though.

Here's my thing: I did exactly the same thing on another board (not USMB). Jumped in both boots right out of the gate and almost got another member banned because of who I was 100% positive this person was. Well, the person I thought it was couldn't help but pop a stupid pill and open his trap and let everyone know he was the idiot and not the person I was accusing. It appears his desire to take a shot at me overrode his 2 brain cells.
However, I was wrong. When there is no pressing reason not to, I am going to err on the side of caution. Didn't hurt to let you and Rick take a look at it first. If I thought the person(s) was harming the board in any way I would have immediately acted.
On a side note, it's kind of too bad. I wanted a go at this person(s) on merit of argument.

... and my approach is, challenge them ASAP ... to get the issue dealt with in the shortest time. Responses can be dealt with, fairly, on their own merits (of course). No responses -- QED -- point proven, and without having to guess at what you're dealing with.
[Besides, surely, a quick check of IP addresses would help prove a link between them all ? Chances are a series of foreign attacks come from a single country ?]

It's That Bloody Foreigner Again !!!
I think when there's no introduction, no avatar, no personal information filled in on the account page, no personal comments in a post, no responses to replies, no anything that would indicate it's an actual person, but instead just a headline and a link, copy and paste garbage that can be traced to other places on the internet, foreign boards, and even their board name lacking in any sort of ingenuity or originality, it's a bot, even though they're getting more convincing because of AI, I think you can smell a bot a mile away.

Yup. That's what I mean, no harm being done but words, and none of us here are that stupid. So best to see if they reply to any of us, a day or 2, and if the action continues 86 them. But we should be sure, like finding out 3-4 new members using the same ISP host.
But here, everything was done perfectly, they were given chances to post and reply to us while quietly things were noticed. No harm no foul. If anything, they also further expose themselves as propagandist idiots.

Did the US become a police state when checkpoints were started?
Did tyranny start when liability insurance became mandatory?
Did tyranny start when smoking was banned?
Did you resist when TSA groping began?
Did you resist when the CIA started torturing people?
Did you resist when extrajudicial assassinations started?
Did you resist when NDAA indefinite detention was enacted?
Did you protest when NSA wiretapping happened?
Did you resist when you lost the right to silence?
Did you protest when you were required to give your fingerprints to get a driver license?
Did you resist when protesting was outlawed?
Did you protest when reporters and lawyers started being arrested?
Did you protest when guns were banned?
Did you resist when police stopped needing probable cause to stop people, elections were canceled, churches were closed, the borders were shut, and you were placed under house arrest?
Will you resist when the elites take your car and your house?
Will you resist when the government takes your belt?
Will you resist when you are starving on the streets?
Will you revolt when you are sent to the concentration camps?
Will you resist when you get pushed into the ovens?
Where's the line?
If anyone would like to give China their thoughts about infecting the world due to their inept handling of viruses escaping their laughable labs, here's your thread.
The communists are monitoring this thread and throwing their clumsy bots at it, as is clear from reading even one of their humorous attempts at propaganda.
We'll continue to ban the commies as they pop up, but they do monitor how effective their efforts are... so feel free to show them how effective their propaganda is on you.

Americans scream anyone who loves freedom is a traitor, but maybe the real traitors are the Americans who love tyranny.
