Could posting this be considered spam, since it's mostly bullshit that no one really wants to see? (by no one I mean the majority of people) The thread is garbage, no more valuable than the sniper smilie posted over and over again.

Trolling or flamebait could also apply. There's just so many things wrong with all of these pointless threads by Skapedroe

After checking out some of his threads, I've noticed a lot of similarities.

Scott Ritter reveals Bushs plans on starting WW3 by attacking Iran this June (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=399985)

I highly doubt that Bush has plans to start a world war. I doubt any world leader would want to start such a thing. There are a lot of tough accusations made in the first post, without any evidence of the fact, such as saying:
"The ex-Marine turned UNSCOM weapons inspector said that George W. Bush has "signed off" on plans to bomb Iran in June 2005, and claimed the U.S. manipulated the results of the recent Jan. 30 elections in Iraq."

Two of his/her threads have been moved to a separate forum all-together, seeing as they have been classified as trolling.

It's also looked poorly upon another poster when they copy and paste in something in General and do not add a single opinion to it. There are copyright issues with doing such a thing.

Personally, I don't think Skapedroe has learned a single thing from his past suggestions from moderators, nor the fact that he/she continues to post bias news reportings, as well as creating new threads, without contributing his/her own opinion.

The problem is that you post articles in their entirety without adding any comments of your own or any analysis of your own. This qualifies as spam. ...or possibly even trolling (which is posting controversial material merely to ruffle feathers and make people mad).
Don't just copy-and-paste. State if you agree or disagree with the article. Describe why you agree or disagree. This is a political discussion forum; discuss any articles that you post or link to. Don't just reproduce them verbatim.

It's not the bias that bothers me...it's the sheer stupidity of it. It's either pointless or meant to irritate. If it's pointless, it's spam. If it's meant to irritate, it's trolling and/or flamebait. I hadn't known he had already been "unofficially warned" about it.

Moderators have been considering this topic, but have not acted yet. The fact that we haven't posted is not necessarily indicative that we haven't seen it.

This garbage isn't even MKULTRA/Skapedroe's own writing. He just cuts-and-pastes massive articles from that dung heap known as democracynow. Somehow, I doubt that he actually even reads these articles. And they are all such complete bullsh*t!

more of the same from the person who is perhaps the greatest spammer in NS history with all of the threads he has.

I have a feeling that this nation is very borderline. One obvious mistake and he/she will probably be DEATed. But I'm not a mod, so this is just what I think, and could thus be 100% false.

Just for a heads up nanak...it's normally not a good idea to speculate about DEATions.

I'm getting tired of the General forum. After all these months, people still whine about Presidents and whatever else they can find.

Next thing you know, they'll be complaining about a rock that fell on its side.

Given that the thread is in Moderation and at least three mods had already replied to it by the time you posted ... I'd say yeah, we didn't need the link.

Why can't we just leave people alone? I read the original post and found it interesting. Seems that people with the opposite view just want to censor, censor, censor. Grow up.
