Do you know How many alt accounts the guys who make 10+ posts a day are using?
Do you think it would be a good idea for this info to become public knowledge? Not asking you guys to "dox" anybody, just link all the alt account names from the same poster together
turns of phrase are things that propogate naturally in a community like this one, no? do you have any examples?
sometimes i notice a suspicious user, but they don't usually last long...
it would take a bit of dedication to infiltrate this place, with all the safeguards for trustworthiness. at that point, i'm not sure why you'd assume multiple subversive accounts to be one unpaid dude and not an organized and paid shilling effort by multiple people. do you think that's happening?
I think there's a very obvious shilling effort underway... they are paid... and get removed en masse. you think the unpaid ones are more effectively subversive than the paid ones?
i'm still not seeing it..
I rooted out a "viper's nest" of destructive sock accounts that traced back to a mod on another once-popular forum and was thanked profusely by another mod. There are tells, some of them subtle and some obvious. All it is is paying attention. I don't understand why you think it would be hard for someone to make multiple accounts here.
huh? its super easy to make multiple accounts here. never implied otherwise. i'm saying that subversive people on here have enough trouble keeping one account active, much less several of them. and if there is such a coordinated shilling effort, it would make plenty of sense for multiple people to be behind it.
if you think even one user here is subversive, you should get mods to investigate. do you think there are accounts they have missed?
it seems like OP is accusing our most frequent posters of being subversive. that would be a big issue. subversive people give themselves away, while our dedicated posters have proven themselves
I think having multiple accounts is de facto subversion. I think pushing disinfo is also subversive. I don't know what your claims are based on. You think security is extremely tight around here I guess.
yeah, i'd agree that posting under multiple names is usually subversive. but many people genuinely believe things that you may disagree with. if they are genuinely wrong, that's misinfo not disinfo.
many people are banned. there is a system for reporting suspicious users. we don't assume users to be suspicious... if you think someone is, then call them out.
i think you'll find gaw represents a wide variety of viewpoints, not just a sea of shills... you haven't provided anything beyond suspicion and 'shared turns of phrase', so i can't really follow. feel free to provide more examples... or better yet, just deport them.
