Are Some Posters Here Hired By Answerbank?

[Kardashev]

I put this in news because that seems the section most affected. I have been on here roughly a year and I dip in and out now and again. I'm starting to think that some posters are like a warm up man you get for studio audiences. What do others think?

[davebro]

any names spring to mind?

[Kardashev]

Yes but I'm not sure if it's against the rules to say them.

[anneasquith]

Maybe the ones with bullet proof vests on ?

[Kardashev]

Well the 2 most obvious are ToraToraTora and Gulliver1, there may be others.

[davebro]

Don't be surprised if this thread gets removed (or this reply). Criticism of arch-troll gulliver1 doesn't sit well with the management.

[naomi24]

Perhaps best to do it the other way round and ask who isn't on the payroll. Not me. I'd be far too expensive. ;o)

[Kardashev]

Not really a criticism, more of an observation.

[ToraToraTora]

Gully, we've been rumbled!

[FatticusInch]

News?

[Prudie]

I have long thought so but definitely not those who contribute to News. Look in B&S or family, that's where you find them. Mind you if one dares to say so then one gets told off..

[anneasquith]

Prude, will you name names as the OP did ?

[Prudie]

No Anne, most are new posters whose names mean nothing to me. Are you saying you haven't seen all the teen angst etc etc ? And like I said if one does one gets ticked off, presumably something you are hoping to do here?

[anneasquith]

Not very one has an agenda prudie :-)

[Kardashev]

10:06, the first sentence explains why I put this in news. I may have been wrong to do so but that is the reason.

[anneasquith]

Prudie, I have seen some, but I don’t open them .

[Peter Pedant]

you mean they hire the really crazy ones
that drive me maaaaaaaaad! (*)

no I think they joined by themselves - ter - daaah !

(*) with their asinine and stupid one liners - intended to be crushing.
The Great War = what dat den ?
O lardy lardy
( I admit I did think Grozny was in Georgia and named after Ivan Grozny) o and they hadnt published the genoma of covid but the proteome. I hadn had my cornflasked I say

[Kardashev]

sorry, no idea what you are trying to say.

[Bobbisox1]

Kardi, just go with the flow, there's a mish mash of posters, there's the wind up merchants, teens full of angst and there's a few lemon suckers too, stay in the middle and you'll be okay, Tora is keeping us newsworthy, Naomi and a few more are very informative, there's helpful people like Chris and Barry ,Emmie wakes us up like your favorite radio station each morning with her Good Morning thread, Sqad is the resident Doctor who is very helpful,, hope the above don't mind having their names dropped, and many , many more, Happy posting Kardi :o)

There are a few 24hr self appointed controllers who get very very upset if you disagree with them, especially if you've not been around long on here.

They have also been know to spit blood if any moderator chooses to get involved with their threads, and god forbid remove their post or one contained within such.
