I think yes.
I think yes.
Do you believe there are posters who are getting paid in some fashion for their political posts?

I sure as hell hope not, but if there are some, I probably have them on ignore. Who are you thinking?
Some posts seem as though that would be about the only explanation…
This election can’t be over soon enough….

Do I think there is someone who has some sort of bespoke relationship with third party to monitor and troll HBOT? Nope. Or at least I hope not, as that would make for one profoundly stupid purchaser of services in terms of the value proposition. it's HBOT.
Do I think that there may be persons who somehow (I don't know how, I'm too old to know how this whole internet economy thing works) leverage other social media platforms that generate revenue by plopping stuff in here? Sure.

I would love to believe that people like @Scruddy and @Here_4_a_Day can't possibly be as openly imbecilic on purpose.
However, we do appear to be in the beginning stages of Idiocracy so who knows at this point?
I do think you have some Russian individuals posting here. Maybe I am wrong, but I really think you have some major disinformation going on, I know some people are crazy, but it would not surprise me one bit.
I actually don't think that. As a former russian major, the reality is that you can tell a russian as the syntax is never "quite" right (even when it's wrong). if i were forced to lay money as to economic relationships (russian or otherwise), it would be posters who communicate minimally, and mostly through memes.
I think this site has enough traffic and lurkers that it has someone assigned to it by a bad actor. One person could post on the entire rivals network, at least on the active boards.
I feel very certain that there are.
I also think they are likely Russians or at least paid by the Russians.

No, I do think we have a fair share of posters here with no life outside of the forum though.
not the russians again! lololololololololololololol
you people are out of your ****ing minds.

Unrelated, but I sure hope someone is paying DelusionalHawkeye to be a troll of epic proportions over on the sports forums.
Very sad and pitiful if they're putting in all that work for nothing.
Not currently, but no one will convince me that Nat Algren wasn't a paid Russian troll. He had no interest in sports, music, boobs, food, etc. Just all Russia propaganda all the time (until his timely death).

Hold up.
Wait a minute.
Some of you think this place has people getting paid to post on here?
Russians on here??????
LMFAO.

Yeah, it's been all but confirmed by the old guard that Nat algren? was a stooge. I have no reason to believe there isn't at least one or two more.
Tell me Seminole is a rational American. Promoting putin and russian policies. Go look at the Russia UkraineHold up.

thread.
The weirder ones are those that agree wholeheartedly with him that are not bots/shills. I'd like to think if I were presented with tacit proof that I was falling for a canard, I would examine my beliefs not double-down on siding with nefarious actors.
As we know, someone doesn't have to be Russian to promote Russian propaganda and get paid for it.
I totally believe @Whiskeydeltadeltatango does it for free thought.
I think so. There are some, who no matter how much direct evidence you provide, simply will not concede a point, and will continue propagating a lie.
E.g. at this point I'd say anyone who still says Trump supports and will implement project 2025 is a suspect.
I think these 2 are just fan boys trying out for an invitation to personally fellate Trump.
Here’s the thing. The purpose of troll farms is not to persuade but to gin up, and it really doesn’t matter which side is getting ginned up. So while it’s nearly inconceivable to me that someone out there thinks a college sports board - focusing on Iowa no less - is a worthwhile forum to troll, if there were, the likelihood of people fanning flames on both sides is probably greater than on one.
Oh, we had one that fit that bill. And he disappeared right about the time the Ukraine invasion went sideways.
Well you have 3-4 that just constantly post X. Seems like plausible situations. Add in the couple crazies in the Ukraine thread.
not the russians again! lololololololololololololol
you people are out of your ****ing minds.
Provide some sources so we can all yuck it up with you then Ivan, seems a simple task right?
Otherwise you can just STFU.

or perhaps a poster that spent years only replying to threads about Russia and/or Putin just happened to drop dead that week from a heart attack.
If any of this material has has been paid for, someone needs a refund.
Nat even had those weird malapropisms that only an ESL troll would exhibit. He'd say stuff like "Beware of the cabbage in hand when soup is in the cupboard." I'm almost certain he's decaying in a drainage canal while nature works to turn him into sunflowers.
