He was on troll watch and then disappeared for 7 month. He came back trolling hard.

With only 12 posts, I pulled the plug. No need to bump it up.

I was gonna post - if you step on the gas regardless of what’s in front of you you should have success if you can speed away afterwards.

Or they might just be weird. Their last thread and reply was from last December and it was asking why people take vertical videos with phones. That didn’t seem like trolling, and this new thread _could_ have been a troll attempt but there wasn’t anything really inflammatory in it.

It got the inflammatory reply it was fishing for and now bacon can sit back and enjoy the sizzle.

They have read 4 posts, and their first thread generated 50+ replies. It was a low-effort shit-post that they didn’t even bother to follow up on. A classic “look how normal I am!” to kick things off, and then return after a long hiatus with a proper troll post.

That was a good one to flag, thankfully I had found it as part of my fast review of new threads.

The velo post also looked like trolling, but too well established to process like one. Shame really.

Same here, for their post in the “FBI to label trans activism as violent extremism” Pit thread.

That would explain why the thread went to the corn field just as I was about to respond.

“Fla-Pamfuh” is probably the sound a troll makes as it is sucked into the cornfield.

I knew exactly what that link was. But I still had to click and watch it. Because I knew exactly what it was.

Well, Pedro has been around since 2000, and has been a pretty prolific poster. Looking at their posting history, that does not in any way fit the behavior of a sock.

Were they trolling in that thread you quoted? Maybe. But that’s not the same thing as being a sockpuppet. Someone with over 1,700 posts over 25 years, that’s just strange for a sock. Also, their posts are spread pretty wide over multiple categories.

I think that latest thread is worthy of criticism, and again, I see a plausible argument about trolling, but sock, that doesn’t make sense.

Been around since 2000. That would be quite a sock!

Looks like a run-of-the-mill troll to me.
