A better idea would be to add some kind of medal/symbol/banner upon their username. With tiers as well, the more they shill the more advanced they get in the shill tier , like normal shill, cia shill, ccp shill etc. When they create new posts their shill status would say with them, so we know who it is posting.
Even when they add a lot of bots to win the shill system at least the good guys can post and see other posts.
When the shilling gets to hard then the accounts can get terminated.
I think something like this would be great.... two medals that can awarded to a post “misinfo” and “insightful” or maybe more than just those (“funny”, “breaking news”, whatever) but the point being that the community designates trustworthy and untrustworthy members.
And you can’t give a “medal” unless you’ve hit some post/comment/karma threshold, and after a ban your bestowed medals are removed from whoever you gave them to, to avoid botting
Yeah , the threshold for karma to give medals is a very good idea. It will make their job harder and they would have to post and like their own posts a lot.
Because that would take a stupid amount of time to deal with toxic asshats from leddit that just come here to troll. Better to just ban them and move on. They'll just create another account anyway.
Don't you think it's time we (as a community) come up with an ethos and outline rules for the side bar?

+1 for a purple heart if youve been reddit banned on bullshit charges

I like this approach.
