What is astroturfing?

Astroturfing occurs when one or more users registers under multiple pseudonymous identities in order to use them to create a phony sense of grassroots support for or against a person, organization or issue.

We do not allow astroturfing at BlueNC. If or when we become aware that an astroturf-style campaign is under way, we reserve the right to block all user accounts involved and ban the IP address(es) of the individual(s) who created the multiple identities.
