2015 Thread blasts to push down what is being discussed in current threads. Why is it allowed?

I know this will probably sound stupid to the majority of this board, but there is targeted strategy to gum up the works with a bunch of bumped threads from 2015 which are divisive and dead threads that do not mesh with what we are discussing now.

The person who does this signs in sometimes (Defacto) but usually posts anonymously to bump threads from 2015 that are selected to distract. It happens everyday and Muriel evidently is okay with it.

This person is an interloper and is only here to stir shit up as they dig up specific 2015 threads and reply "LOL" or " Hey OP, I don't know". They know it is a dead thread but are only trying to clog the top 20 threads or so with bullshit that chumps will be drawn to and comment on as they don't see the date.

I haven't seen this tolerated on other boards and maybe I'm just being a MARY, but get this loser out of here...pleeeeeeze!

trollz gonna troll

It would be funny if that's thread was actually a bump from 2015.

by Anonymousreply 3August 30, 2020 12:31 PM

Threads should be automatically locked after a certain period of time, imo.

by Anonymousreply 4August 30, 2020 12:44 PM

As soon as I see a 2015 thread, I just block it ... keep doing that ...

DeCunto.

Is it possible Muriel is the 2015 queen?

R7 not a chance

by Anonymousreply 8August 30, 2020 4:55 PM

Then why does she let it continue, r8? She's so controlling about threads otherwise.

by Anonymousreply 9August 30, 2020 5:00 PM

it is weird.

by Anonymousreply 10September 16, 2020 10:53 PM

What the hell are the top 20 threads? I’ve never seen any ranking on here?

by Anonymousreply 11September 16, 2020 10:55 PM

And the troll was even complaining about Muriel not fixing the "Search" function. I'm hoping she doesn't if it's going to make it more difficult for DeJecto to search for and bump threads.

Oh dear.

Just scroll and bump the threads that expose trump for the threat that he is.

by Anonymousreply 14September 16, 2020 11:01 PM

The question should be why are 2015 threads so much better than the garbage the obsessives post? Improve the quality of new threads and stop creating so many threads on the same subject.

by Anonymousreply 15September 16, 2020 11:04 PM

Yes I’ve started checking dates - there have been a few resurrected from 2012. Partly it’s because of the anal retentive harpies that patrol the site and screech about previous threads

I don’t want to scroll through 10 years of outdated comments on a subject. Sometimes a new thread on a topic makes sense.

by Anonymousreply 16September 16, 2020 11:05 PM

There are people who are paid by political operations to keep their new threads within the first 20 threads displayed. so we are talking about people's livelihoods.

by Anonymousreply 17September 16, 2020 11:07 PM

It seems to start late at night. Suddenly all these 2015 posts are on top of the threads.

by Anonymousreply 18September 16, 2020 11:11 PM

I was up at 3AM one night, and I noticed every single thread for I don't even know how many was from 2012. I blocked all of the ones I scrolled to , but there were so many I couldn't even block them all before I went back to sleep.

Russian time?

I kind of like seeing those 2015 threads. They last for about 10 minutes, so they’re not that much of a distraction

by Anonymousreply 21September 16, 2020 11:28 PM

It's one or two people that do the majority of resurrecting old threads. I've had them blocked for a while - the only way I know they do it is by looking at the resurrected threads and then looking at my ignored list and sure enough, they're the ones that bring them back.

[quote]She's so controlling about threads otherwise.

Not really. Muriel has always made it clear that there is no active moderation here, that the threads are largely controlled by F&F flags. Every now and then, Muriel does a clean-out but otherwise, no, there's not much control at all.

by Anonymousreply 23September 16, 2020 11:34 PM

I have wondered if there wasn't some kind of site algorithm that auto-identifies slow periods for posting or thread creation, and then bumps threads accordingly to keep those sweet, sweet advertising clicks coming...

by Anonymousreply 24September 16, 2020 11:47 PM

It happens every time there’s bad news for Trump.

But I guess that’s all day, every day.

by Anonymousreply 25September 17, 2020 12:48 AM

Yes, r19.

The right-wing trolling is worse in the middle of the night (U.S.) because that’s when the professional, right-wing trolls begin their workday in Europe, Australia and Asia.

by Anonymousreply 26September 17, 2020 1:38 AM

The 2015 bump troll is WORSE THAN HITLER.

by Anonymousreply 27September 25, 2020 11:01 PM

Sadly, I can sometimes recognize the bumped threads from having read them five years ago. For a while I was bumping current threads to push them down, but it was too labor intensive.

by Anonymousreply 28September 25, 2020 11:05 PM

Another poster has joined Defacto lately in bumpbitchery. He's a muscle mary who seldom says anything but "bruh", "dude", "goals", or some such grunting over some other muscle mary or instaho. Oh, and he's religious.

by Anonymousreply 29September 26, 2020 1:16 AM

DeFecto the Bump Troll can’t come up with any cogent arguments to defend his Great Leader Trump, so instead it relentlessly bumps old threads.

by Anonymousreply 30October 4, 2020 6:42 PM

incurable mental illness

by Anonymousreply 31October 4, 2020 6:45 PM

We should bump this thread every time the 2015 troll bumps up more threads.

by Anonymousreply 32October 4, 2020 6:47 PM

OP, you've turned into the Anti-2015 Troll and are even more annoying than him.

by Anonymousreply 33October 4, 2020 6:51 PM

and while we're making a wishlist, can anything linked to imgtrend dot com be blocked from the site? wtf?

by Anonymousreply 34October 4, 2020 6:51 PM

There are only a relatively few people who start most of the threads on DL and they are psychotically protective of them. If you create an interesting thread, it will stay in the “top 20” regardless of how many older threads are bumped. Quit whining about your inane and duplicative threads being pushed down and create better, unique content. If ten new threads all on the exact same subject get pushed down, good.

by Anonymousreply 35October 4, 2020 6:59 PM

What is it with all the threads about black guys here all of a sudden

by Anonymousreply 36October 4, 2020 7:02 PM

Example of threads in question. I like to read the blind items that ended up being true

by Anonymousreply 37October 4, 2020 7:05 PM

You get 3 FF's a day, even if you don't pay.

Use them.

by Anonymousreply 38October 4, 2020 7:05 PM

It’s the Bump Troll trying a new approach. Or possibly a different Bump Troll.

The 2015 troll is in Europe, where it’s getting late, so it’ll probably give us a break for the next 10 hours or so - it has a hard day of pushing shopping carts around the Aldi parking lot ahead of it tomorrow, so it needs its beauty rest.

by Anonymousreply 39October 4, 2020 7:06 PM

We all need to bump Trump threads.

by Anonymousreply 40October 4, 2020 7:08 PM

I don't think the Bump Bitch is in Europe. He watches P&B soap operas, or at least participates in their threads. I think he is American.

I also bump Trump threads, r40, so I don't have to look at him.
