A bit of a PSA here, frens, but I'm noticing an increased amount of infighting and suspiciously leftist-sounding confrontational convos in the past three or four days. It's my belief that the shills are now evolving to be able to bypass handshake restrictions and lie in wait so they can begin sowing seeds of chaos. I'd advise everyone to be on guard against (((their))) agents and post with sound mind and logical thought, not driven by emotions.
God wins!
I usually block without notice when a shill wants to derail a thread with or without a confrontation with them.
My gosh, yes! I know the mods aren't sitting around looking for something to do but what can be done to stop the ridiculous duplicating? I also often see a duplicate post stickied while the poor soul who posted the original post is ignored, which I think is extremely unfair.
I also see a lot of things posted from third-rate "news" sites that are days or even weeks old. They are of course marked "breaking." Hint: breaking means a story that has come in right on deadline, may be incomplete and will be updated as new info comes in. It does not mean "READ ME!! I"M NEW!"
I've made a point to comb the search bars as users have suggested. Sometimes I found one person requested a sticky, yet an older duplicate post did not.
In those situations, I've stickied both to avoid conflict, and distribute likes.
What is the proper thing to do?
I was shamed for mentioning the same issue as the last 4 comments
The only issue I have are the repeated subject post. If that could be reduced it would speed shut up.
I learned early on to use the search function before posting breaking news. More often than not, someone got here before me. 😁 Hey, did anyone hear that Ivana T died? kek
when you block, do you just stop seeing the shill response or that person is blocked from interacting with everyone?
Block doesn't seem to work or it kis sporadic at best, I block folks and they keep coming back.
It is supposed to work so that 'you' don't see that poster.
I had the same problem with the block feature, so I came up with a workaround.
I use 'uBlock Origin', an adblocker browser extension. You can use it to hide the posts/comments of any user. In the 'My Filters' section of settings, paste the following two lines and replace 'username' with the actual username. I use it to remove users that I find annoying but don't necessarily warrant deporting.

greatawakening.win##.post[data-author=username]
I had the extension but didn't know you could do that with it. Thank you.
Thanks but I don't bother with extensions and stuff, I'm simple in more ways than one....

It just blocks it for you.
I dont see the shill comments anymore, but see the replies address to them.
I notice a change in the shills demeanor once the subject gets changed in the comments. As if its a win shitting all over a thread.
The way to do it
