This weekend there has been a tremendous flood of users negative about the site. My guess is it is a distraction campaign launched to pull effectiveness away from the HIllary spying news.
Across many posts, many commenters are bots and the number of downvotes are large for what this site sees normally. This really signals what is happening. Normally there's little commentary asking for censorship and attacking the mods. It's not organic.
Some names have been on the site for a year but seem to be sleepers now activated, because many have few comments or are ones with zero comments bacause of self-deletion (a red flag for trolls). Others have many abusive hostile troll comments that are not given as logical responses but are simply spewed insults.
Added: WOW. I noticed a bot has been run since yesterday on my entire comment history for each day in the last month. Each and every comment - about 30 - carefully downvoted and no exceptions.
