OK, stupid question.
As some of you may know, I'm a refugee from the departed Tesla Forums. There were some serious trolls over there spewing FUD. Troll may not be the right term: There was quite a bit of speculation that a good proportion of the FUD was being spewed by entities that were paid for their opinions. No solid evidence, though: I mean, Tesla at one point was claiming that only registered owners could post, but only they would know that. And there were questions that if somebody rented a Tesla, copied down the VIN number, and used that to get logged in the first time.. You got to figure that the vast majority of Tesla owners weren't on the Tesla forum, like probably the vast number of Tesla owners aren't on this forum. So somebody pulling a stunt like that might very well get away with it. And then proceed to pollute the forums with false information. And there was a lot of that.
Around here, people just, well, sign up. The difference, I would guess, is that this site has real, live, active moderation. So people not acting in good faith might be caught?
So, here's a case of what appears to be FUD. I looked over the poster's profile and posts.. It all looks normal, such as it is, with the poster joining these forums back in early August.
So, the stupid question: We get a lot of trolls spewing FUD around these parts? Or do they get disappeared? And, if they do, how's it generally happen?
