We’ve also had pimpers post sockpuppet accounts to respond to their own posts praising themselves.

That's ironic.

There have been several blogpimps who were convinced all the pimpbusters were actually the same person.

Don’t forget the part about the complete elimination of his bloodline.

It’s easy for AI-Laz to be humblegunner.
Just plug in the Netgear humblegunner module, $15.88 at Best Buy.

Now I’ll have that tune running through my head all day.

Good thing there is nothing else going on in there!

A long long long time ago I use to post articles I wrote about the UN and stuff. Once in a while I found something deep in the UN site not mentioned anywhere and posted that.

Ah, the good ol’ days. lol.

I also posted funny stuff, in full of course, like when I wrote the “Wonderous Willard of Oz” parody just after the Clinton admin ended.

Do you want to use the site for free advertising or do you want to be part of the community?

- - - -

Has any consideration been given to setting some limits to those only posting blog excerpts and not replying or participating on other threads?

Some examples:

That would be counterproductive.

Posting history is always a red flag on individual threads, but really it is just a reminder to always consider the source(and the poster). All reading and posting here had a start date.

If I had to quantify, I would estimate I post replies on less than 1% of the threads I actually read.

I have “originated” less than ten articles.

On a related topic, but who is humblegunner?
Is he/she after my VK thread killer title belt? lol!

I don't see that at all. Making new members post 20 replies before they could post articles would stop a huge amount of space wasting garbage.

Humblegunner? He's the self styled Blogger Overlord, leader of the Pimp Busters. They attempt to regulate the dozens of bloggers who fantasize about being the next Allahpundit or Michelle Malkin or Andrew Breitbart and look to generate hits for their websites by spamming Free Republic.

Looks like he/she is banned now.

And I don’t agree with your litmus test of “20 replies before posting”.

My “Marine” will be home soon after having served active duty tours in two combat zones.
His “sign up date” would be later this year, if he cares to participate on this forum.
He might be willing to share experience based information or just his personal opinions that all of us could benefit from reading.

Frankly, I hesitate to direct his attention here.
Jim does a really good job of laying out the “rules” on the homepage of this website.
