    Why doesn’t the Journal have a “Spammer of the Week” seeing as the Journal seems to take no notice of it’s own Terms of Use? You could also have a “Troll of the Week” as well. There are at least one or 2 fake accounts on here that would win hands down each week without fail.

    notice how of the top 5 commented on stories this week, the highest is 277 and the lowest is 201
    2 years ago, those numbers would have been a minimum of double that, possibly even triple,
    slowly but surely the journal is slipping into obscurity, and they only have themselves to blame,
    with their bias in choosing what comments to delete and their complete apathy to the bigger trolls who flagrantly break the TOS.
    Cop yourself on journal, make it an even playing field for everyone, do something about the massive trolling and the obvious incitement by certain accounts, and you might have a chance of reversing the trend
    but somehow i doubt you will do anything until it is too late.

    Surely Blind Faith had the most popular comment in the Gardai assault article?

    you should know by now Paddy “most popular comment” doesn`t count – it depends ENTIRELY on what the staff deem the most popular, anything that goes against their idea is consigned to the dustbin.

    Even the second comment got more than a thousand greens but thejournal.ie just ignores them.
    It happens every week and makes this regular article a sham.

    nearly as good as O`Bamas imitation of a gun, he would want to watch himself too, considering he is black, that kind of pose is liable to get you shot over there at the moment
