What happened to many of last night's posts
44 Answers
I don't stray into CB very often but I'm just crious as to what happened on AB last night.
When I logged off last night AB was being flooded by numerous posts, some bland, some funny, from a poster who within an hour of joining AB had posted dozens of questions on various sections. I commented that for a newcomer he seemed to to have got the hang of the site very quickly and if he carried on posting at this rate he could become a 'legend' on AB. I remember he also had a post in Arts&Literature about assassins dressed as clowns (Freudian slip?).
The posts I saw weren't offensive but it seemed to me that this person had been here before and I wondered if they were just waiting to catch us unawares and pounce.
When I logged on this morning all trace had gone.
Did things turn nasty? Was the poster's true identity revealed?

No. That thread wasn't there when I logged off. I expect this thread will get removed today.
This wasn't the username I was referring to, although I expect that the 'removed answeres' from this thread did come from the poster I was referring to. The poster had name in the form L,,,,AndSomething- can't recall the exact name.
Clearly it got out of hand.
I got the impression the poster in question was setting us all up for something.
Maybe there should be a restriction on the number of times new poster can post (eg max of 5 posts in first 24 hours), although i know this is probably difficult to program and users could get round it.

Factor - There is a 'personality' referred to as *klown* who is banned from this forum.
This does not, however, prevent him from registering many new names and posting plethora of increasingly off-the-wall threads and responses until he gets to fever pitch at which point he disappears in an explosion of frothing and foaming obscenities.
He often has several names on the go at the one time and will appear on threads using each of these names to talk to the other names he has.
The thread sly,Duck has highlighted is from klown and no doubt put up when Lowandbehold and qazzz were bumped off the board.
