A few hours ago 4 filters cleaned the thread, may take more now ( just got back)..
Filter a few obvious ones and that may take care of vast majority.
We had a shill baker overnight (FE in the Notables) so today was bound to be shill intensive.
Filtering has worked ok.
It may be necessary for BO or BV to spend some time deleting shill posts though just to reestablish control. Make them switch IPs just to take a little wind out of their sails.
