The mods mostly see what you put in the reports. Where there’s no need to be cagey.
I’m looking at Bluebird54 in the “Have you lost all hope in the Future” thread as a probable trock.
8 year old account with 6 (!) minutes of read time, 2 whole days visited (in said 8 years) and no other posts, who suddenly jumped into the thread with full support for the current administration and descriptions of transgender as horrible child mutilations. Sounds like someone uncloaking a spare account to take a swipe.
100% guarantee this is what that is.
1 day suspension for review, my vote will be to ban. Post and 2 replies are moved out.
Hope that was worth burning a sleeper account for.
They may have a lot more of them sitting around.
Did you start something in the mod loop? If yes, I haven’t seen it.
Once I woke up, I realized a 1 post poster is still a new troll. He’s banned.
Ah, ok. 
I should’ve checked. Thanks!
One post in the “Hope For the Future” thread, and theportchicagowitnes is already on my radar. We shall see.
Samantha_Campoverde - Human troll, or AI troll?
Seems AI-ish to me.
Does AI Use Title Case?
Googling that name brings up her Instagram with the same writing style. She’s in high school and probably shouldn’t be using her real full name as her username everywhere too…
AIs have been using online accounts and pretending to be real people for a while now. Grandpa Brian and the like are just the ones we know about.
She is like that on Facebook, too, and always has been. I guess she isn’t doing it to troll, so this old fuddy duddy is just going to get used to it.
Do note that those statistics are only tracked since we moved to Discourse.
That’s a fair answer, but despite all you long-term senior members, we’ve been on discourse long enough now to make some judgements!
Yep.
But what we can truthfully say is it’s a 4-year old (on Discourse) account with 6 (!) minutes of read time, 2 whole days visited (in said 8 years) and no other posts. And with a 4-year history under vBulletin with an indeterminate reading / visiting history that includes no posts.
All of which adds up to a long dormant account for reasons fair or foul.
I accept your modification of my statement!
Related note, @What_Exit was able to ban them as a one-post troll. Did A) he have access to pre-discourse data that confirmed no other posts, B) Consider the 4ish years sans other posts on Discourse sufficient to the day or C) Did Not Care about the distinction and smote the troll mightily?
