Did you know that Yahoo Global Warming was full of paid alarmists?

The evidence was presented over the past two years. It overwhelmingly showed that several users were posting for an environmental organization.

They continually violated Yahoo Policy and did so for YEARS:

1. They used a bot to move & immobilize all opposing questions.*

2. They used stolen Yahoo accounts purchased from black hat websites.

3. They deleted opposing content with sock reporting.

* The alarmists "bot-tagged" all opposing questions. They then moved the question to category Abuse & Spam. If the person who originally posted the question tried to move it back to Global Warming, then the bot (automated script) moved it back to Abuse & Spam.

    I think they had tunnel vision.  They got complacent. They saw Yahoo as their own backyard.  They viewed it as a traditional forum.  But Yahoo is Q&A, and hence, it's anything but a traditional forum.

    All of that made you wonder why they harped on blocking and open profiles so much.  If you view Yahoo as a Q&A site, then you wouldn't care less about some person blocking you.  You wouldn't give private profiles a second thought.  But they harped on that, and that gave them away.
