A dozen or so attacking a recent post of mine and they're not even subtle, reported a few but I don't think anything will be done.
We as a community need to do something about them, lest the important conspiracies lie buried from their brigading and REEEEEE comments killing the discussion.
Did the mods lose their ban hammer or something?
temp banned along with magapede and a few other regular shills and NPCs...that's why it's been nice and peaceful as of late.
Ohhh! Thank you, that is very justifiable. However, the musical name 'Serenade' still has his alt 'Crescendo' (how fucking obvious can an alt name be!). I'm surprised there aren't a 'Cacophony', a 'Discordant' and a 'Divertimento' too,
Minuet, Serenade, Crescendo, Prelude
The shills do in fact use "codes" and patterns in their user names, and good mods train themselves to notice them. Good catch on that one ;)
Some of it is their pride, they feel like a special agent and like they're doing this big important job.
A lot of it is just laziness and a lack of intelligence. I've got some guy keeps replying with projected homophobia, BBC thoughts, etc (because I mentioned big Mike once) - I just reply 'You're a bottom feeder parasite paid for by fake money' (stolen from us - inflation) or simply 'you're a parasite'.
It's funny when they spend 10 minutes on some REEE comment and it takes 10 seconds to rip then a new one, trigger cognitive dissonance and remind them of what they know deep down. Rent free Lol.
One crazy shill was Venus230. Remember that shill? Code in name, posted hundreds of posts all day. Automated-like. You used to manually approve their posts and ignore reports on that user, even though they were an OBVIOUS shill.
I guess your shill detector was off. That account also disappeared right around the time you did.
Coincidence I'm sure.
Yeah, god forbid there's someone around here who calls out the trash disinformation that people like you try to pass off as fact.
