Thank you to all the great moderators here. Within the last few weeks the positive, upbeat and supportive vibe has been disrupted. It appears based on recently locked threads and indicators of sock puppets that there's a specific and nefarious reason for it.

This is a sincere thank you again to the moderators for protecting and preserving the valued forum that we have here and that we who hold it dear love participating in not only for our individual benefit, but also for the benefit of others.

Go get 'em!!!!!
 
Absolutely! Having been in a number of small grassroots-type organizations, it can be challenging to spend time and effort to make things happen, respond to messages and inquiries, and keep things civil, especially combined with other priorities in your life, and when you're not getting paid (or are getting a token amount) to boot, and so I bow and tip my hat in gratitude.
 
Wow. Sockpuppets.

I am so surprised. Thanks to mods the sockpuppets were taken out to the giant autism trash compactor. Which is completely silent and in stealth mode.

I´m not really informed whats going on here, but I "detected" some sock puppets nearly instantly. after 1 or 2 posts, I was like "must be fake/suspicious" and reported it, years before anyone else was leery. and I was like "hmm maybe I was wrong" and after some time I saw that they got banned/deleted and I was like "hmm okay, maybe my intuition was right."

I was wondering and thought "why are people still answering? and why they don´t realise that it is fake?" because for me it was very clearly. but I understand as a moderator you have to collect some evidence and can not ban that fast. sometimes it feels like I can smell the fakeness of someone 5 miles against the wind. but maybe I overestimate myself. and maybe I detect sometimes false negatives.
 
why they don´t realise that it is fake?"

Because they have different capabilities. They may excell at something we are really bad and they may ask: Why didnt you realized that obvious thing?

And this is the beauty of divergence, we can help each other. :)
