and if they do, are there mods trained in the art of detecting these slippery clowns? its not hard to spot a shill at all, will they be banned from this website if reported to be a shill? i want to invest the time and energy here but don't want to be arguing with shills 24/7 like reddit.

shills are a form of censorship what are you talking about LOL.
Unlike Dreaddit, you won’t see a bunch of fake upvotes/downvotes trying to sway public opinion. Just downvote shills and let the system work. If you see abusive behavior or repetitive shilling, just click “report”.
It's a real slippery slope when you start banning people for this reason or that. It's good practice to reserve bans for serious trolls and harassers who spam the forum. Everyone else can just be easily downvoted
What makes someone a shill in your opinion?
they come in many shapes and forms, i would be here all day listing them. but you can usually spot them buy their comment history, some push main stream media narratives and belittle those who disagree, even if those who disagree have evidence..
