So, I've noticed a shitton of threads with a question about some piece of gear, one or two sentences, OP is a new account, and then there's no replies or specifics ever put in from OP. The community legitimately replies and the thread is continuously bumped without substance.

I'm not saying it's spam, but yea, it's probably spam. Anyone else notice?

James, there have been posters that have come and gone with a post or two since I joined the Forum. As far as I could see, most of the original members stuck around for a long time with a small amount of that sort of activity. So the first year and a half or so was pretty nice until 2010 things changed in that phantom posters began visiting. Looking through those first threads would explain it better perhaps. I was always chary about answering posts until it seemed like the new member was here for awhile but recently there was some banter about new members not being treated fairly so I've tried to fit in so to speak only to realize that there are cool people and not so cool people just like in real life lol.

I've noticed this too and it's really irritating. I'm considering just not contributing to threads from new posters until they've at least replied to their own thread.
