Yeah I'm always suspicious of the various drama posts on AskPoal/TellPoal. It reminds me too much of the guy on Voat who would post the same story about whether or not it is a good idea to let his 13/14/15/16 year old daughter visit her mother in jail. The daughter's age was inconsistent, the details of her mother's incarceration would change and it would come from a string of accounts over a period of a few months. I kept calling them out and he'd disappear for a few days then return with a new alt. The relationship drama posts here on Poal always make me think of that guy's attempt to rope people in, which worked really well apparently.

People do eat up the drama and rant posts. It's unfortunate because most Poalrs seem to be averse to that kind of social engineering but still get drawn in by assuming the user is White and not a glowie or kike. The poll posts are more of an annoyance because they stick out so much with their glownigger topics, but I agree the drama/rant posts are just as bad if not worse. Those ones actually get traction and waste time. Can't simply throw a minimum account level rule at those ones though so just don't feed the trolls is a better method to combat them.

It's the "gee what should I do" long rambling b.s posts that I dislike. They ask for advice and so often people give honest genuine advice, except they add all sorts of personal information and experience to back up the advice.

When a fellow Poaler is in need we all jump to and support one another and that is a good thing. OTOH, the long wall of text posts are information gathering.
