It certainly is fraudulent EE!
I believe the time stamps for player comments on the Grog Blog are related to when the comment was submitted, as opposed to when the comment was approved/posted (though a couple of times I have noticed this isn't quite 100% true).
I believe that the ADMIN comments are "fraudulently" time stamped so that they appear immediately after the comment that the ADMIN is responding to, as the comment system isn't like a traditional forum where there is a reply button.

The comments timestamped from June 09, 2010 10:51AM through June 09, 2010 01:50PM and the comments from June 09, 2010 03:07PM through June 10, 2010 08:55PM were also added for the June 11th version of the grog blog page.
In my opinion, that behavior is fraudulent. |
