Yes. A lot more people read here than post. But sometimes, after a long time, you just want to get some things off your chest. And then the "regulars" here, some of whom think they are big wheels in the jet world because they post here so much, all of the sudden act like you are violating their personal feifdom. I don't see a lot of the actual big wheels in the real world posting here much, and Itotally understand why. But some of these people act like their opinion is gospel simply because they have 8000 posts, and anybody who does not does not have a real opinion.

It seems to be running rampant though Andy. Its not hard to see them either, usually under 20 posts and stirring the pot in a lot of threads. Is it normal practice for Mods to see this and investigate or does someone have to file a formal complaint?
I can assure you that we Mods have a well developed ' spidey sense ' when it comes to seeing posting activity that is outside the normal range and pattern. But before we ban someone we have to be pretty sure that they are something other than genuine. We do get long time lurkers who see something that incenses them and they finally register to vent their feelings on a topic with a barrage of posts which, of course, is also the behavior of a troll / shill ac.
Some of our repeat offenders have got to be fairly adept at concealing their tracks when registering and it makes it hard to track them down but rest assured we do try.
Please carry on reporting any poster that raises your suspicions. We mods do not read every post of every thread.
Although some of us have had to read EVERY POST ON EVERY FEJ THREAD and it is getting really really old.
