    The sleeper accounts were laid during the Yao era.
    We need an account audit for Clutchfans
    And a massive purge of suspicious accounts

    I’ve posted 41 times in 10 years. It doesn’t make my account fake.

    I'm sure there have been many arrests of rockets fans already, you'll never get that info though, I think I'm with tinman on the purge, it would take a little bit of work, dunno if clutch would appreciate that or REVEL in it :) (although as a bit of a lurker myself I'm on this gosh dang site every day like a 99er but just a year to late dangit!! :D ) <so deep down I have a little sympathy for people who don't post so much, would be interesting to see behind the scenes if this site is being hit up like crazy for new accounts etc>

    Chinese authorities said a 25-year-old was arrested after posting an image of himself wearing a Rockets jersey and insulting the country's flag.
    Hong Kong (CNN)A 25-year-old Houston Rockets fan in China threatened to burn the Chinese flag in protest of the ongoing dispute between Beijing and the NBA team, and told police to "come and arrest him."

    He was behind bars hours later.
    Authorities in China's northern Jilin province said the man, Howard Wang, was accused of publishing "insults directed against the national flag" on Weibo, China's equivalent to Twitter. Wang was arrested shortly afterward and the case is being investigated, local police said in a statement.​
