Three RTP's were received regarding those posts, which sort of suggests to me that those people weren't happy with that kind of discussion here. OK, I can accept that the comments were meant to be humourous with no malice intended, and I'm happy to backtrack on my comments.
Rob, that's how they get in.
They describe their political spamming as a bit of humour or a bit of fun.
And then, after a while, the volume of political spam puts others off from joining in on a thread and it becomes an echo chamber for these people.
Why not put a little tick box under the posting panel which has next to it - "I promise that no other member of the forum will be able to guess my political affiliations by reading the contents of this post".
It might give these spammers time to consider their behaviour.
