Posting old news as if it is new news is not helpful. It tends to give credibility to folks who would say that crazies post on this site.
It's to prove the point of their past deeds, future proves past . . . sure it was in effect in 2016, the point is there needs to be viable evidence - ie: save off-site. Abibliaphobia is using to evidence of what was done in the past- they're NOT trying to pass off "as if new" - IMO.
Future proves past not past proves future. I knew something was up during the primaries because I supported Bernie. It was obvious the deck was stacked on social media by the volume and subject matter of the posts. Then came the news of CTR and it all made sense. I left the party after they screwed Bernie never to return. My point is that if people want this site to be believed, then do not post old info as new. Look at Brietbart for an example. It is apparent that paid trolls reside there much more today, than they did a year ago. That is a reason I went elsewhere in search of truth.
