    Behold the cycling forum, logic and facts have no place there, beware all ye who enter.

    AH used to be full of it but lot of the main culprits don't seem to be around anymore.

    There's one perticular group on here that I obviously can't name! Weather it's in there own forum or anywhere they happen to post they have to be treated differently to everyone else and need to be seen as right at all times.

    It's got to the point there acting like a protected species on boards as well as real life!

    There are a good few cliques in the Regional forums. And I won't specify any more detail ;D

    I've never noticed Boards being particularly cliqueish. You can often see two people fighting to the death on one thread, and then thanking each other on another thread. It's happened to me as well.

    Occasionally you will notice a few posters circulating like an angry Rottweiler around one poster, some just randomly popping into the thread to support the ringleader. Sock puppeting springs to mind on those occasions.
    A mix of that and "red pill" brigading from 4Chan that we've seen the posts organising/calling in others for. I wonder which group that could be... :pac:

    Though sockpuppeting is also true. A big chunk of one particular group of posters is a single person.

    Still, the mods seem happy enough with it, I guess anything to keep the post count up. I even got a permanent ban from one of the forums when I pointed out someone (falsely) claiming I said something throughout 2016 did not "join" until well into 2017 and so they appeared to have been a rereg. Funny old policy, but there you have it.

    Yes, I was quite sure there was some funny business going on in a thread this morning, but was afraid to say so directly because of a possible ban.

    Thanks bots are always thanking each other's accounts and affirming their posts

    Why are you individually naming them?.

    Liverpool vs United on the soccer forum. Absolute plonkers who are the exact same as each other yet think they're polar opposites. Basically, you're both just Irish fellas from Bally-go-backwards who supports some team from the North East of England that wears red and is historically successful. You're not Scouse, you're not a Manc, you're just deluded.

    The sex and sexuality forum was quite bad for it, hence not bothering with it.
