We have so many lurkers that wait years to post, have the same beliefs, like to post in the same threads, post at a high rate, then once rejected they make multiple accounts, throw tantrums and claim mass injustice, all while proving why the ban was justifiable. Makes sense if you think about it. They're probably all kids that joined just for the Starcraft way back and then have been getting radicalized over the internet with conspiracy theory mongering and are now they're older and looking to pick fights online.
They don’t pick fights very well. If I’d been itching to throw my ‘truth bombs’ for a considerable period while lurking in the very place I’m looking to deploy them, I’d probably try to do so in a way that doesn’t get me banned within 10 minutes of moving from lurker to active status.

The time for picking fights has long passed anyways, this place is much less busy and consists almost entirely of forum vets who have much less interest in shitpost battles.

I'm with Wombat, it is much much more likely that it is the same few or one person who is obsessive and has VPN technology.
I've seen this pattern play out across a few sites is why, especially as the activity starts to decline on them. The disenfranchised just making a full time hobby out of spreading their shit around on whatever site gives them a platform, constantly playing the victim card while they're at it.
The thing is, there are a lot more of these guys than a lot of people want to admit exist. Sure they are still fringe, but they aren't just one troll with a VPN or "Russian bots" either.

It's still really easy to bait JimmyC into a flamewar...

I think everyone has fought enough with everyone else at that point to be interested in doing more of it.

I've just been hit with the realization I've been on TL for 10 years. JFC we're all old.

It’s terrifying, but at least some of us are wiser… maybe

Personally I'm not sure if I'm wiser or not, but I'm definitely more tired.

Definitely feel the more tired thing. Also a little devastated to realize that I, too, have been at this for over 10 years. Ugh.

I've made some friends along the way, it's definitely been worth it to stick around.

I was absolutely shocked the 2 new <10 post users in the China Politics thread were PBUs, absolutely shocked!
Seriously though, I agree with Jimmi. There shpuld probably be a minimum post requirement for the politics threads.

But then we’d miss gems like

Being radicalized by your religion or politics is one thing, a PBU constantly coming back to defend Diablo Immortal's business practices is another. Why? Seriously, why?
