It seems ADMIN has allowed someone to come to this site and post multiple identical posts of a political nature. A poster, 'biknities' has posted no less than 5 times the same post in less than 15 minutes. It's even more upsetting to see this person just joined this forum TODAY!!! Am I the only one who got these postings?

Personally, I wish they would not let political postings on this site...there are other places to get into this subject...this is supposed to be a fun, friendly site, helpful and heartwarming to the knitters and crocheters....

Enough said by me...

No, we all saw the postings and there were 6. A quick word to Admin under Report Issue might help. Admin could at least remove some of the postings.

Guess I missed the postings...but still feel the same.

There is a political topic if someone wants to talk politics. That way those of us who are not interested can unsubscribe and not be bothered. I don't come to this site for politics and I don't want to sound biased but the political postings seem to be US based. This site is world wide.

Saw but did not open; anything political is just too boring for words!

I didn't know...until I just went looking that there was a place...why hasn't ADMIN moved this subject then...I am here for fun and learning...hear enough of the other "garbage' at home. :lol:

She is new and may have thought when she hit send that it did not take and then had hit it multiply times. I have a slow computer and have hit the send button twice for a double posting. You can delete the double, triple, etc. postings if you are aware of them in a short time. I am giving her the benefit of doubt since she is new. I have not clicked on any of the 5-6. I am not interested in political threads.

I'm currently using a dial-up connection and have learned to wait until the tab/screen has snapped back to the KP forum before moving onto the next topic tab. I built this baby and am STILL learning how to deal with the 'new' computers and Operating Systems as they come out. I feel for the KP new posters who haven't learned what speed their computers have.

Once or twice is a mistake but 6 times?

 

[Deb-Babbles]

I agree, less political post would be nice. But then I know what not to open most of the times.

 

[LadyBecket]

We have all come to enjoy our craft and each other, not to be bomb barded with politcal crap! All we need to do is open the paper or turn on TV for that. This is our sanctuary!!

Call me suspicious, but sounds like sharky to me

Looks like Admin cleaned house. The 7 messages posted by blknities are gone and her/his profile lists 0 topics, 0 messages.

you can say it anytime because you are right

 

[tryalot]

No, it isn't, someone asked Admin about starting whatever is opposite to the Progressives, the answer was yes, but someone must take the responsibility of managing it.
There's an opportunity for you

But why did they ALL have to be removed? Couldn't Admin leave one? Newbies are allowed errors aren't they? How many knitters frog their work out there?

Because Admin is very experienced in computers and forums. He/She knows most of the time multiple postings of a potentially/probably volatile topic is the work of a "Troll".
