Here's your bi-daily shill warning:
I'm sure you've noticed the obvious forum slide occurring here the past few weeks.
I've been doing a little bit of analysis, and it seems like these accounts are definitely part of the network. I'd actually wager that about 50% of the accounts on this forum are part of a shill farm.
These main posters are: pvki, Zap_Powerz, ghost_of_aswartz, "glownigger8675309", HonestTruth, BuckeyePatr1ot (and likely a few others, like CrazyRussian, KingCrazy, RentFreeCrisisAct, etc).
They follow a predictable pattern and have clear associated anomalies that show up with just their posts.
First of all, they literally post non-stop like it's their job. Their posting patterns are the most obvious giveawa (suspicous engagement, same accounts always engaging).
The sub is being successfully slided by these users.
Sliding in and of itself is just one of their objectives.
The other objective is to paint the forum as a thriving center for dangerous white supremacists--likely as part of some campaign to get free speech sites shut down.
These accounts will start by sliding with 4-5 bait posts (usually low effort clickbait or links). Usually this is typical anon content... lamenting about the WEF, vaccines, etc. Nothing crazy but designed to bait you in while sliding other content.
Every 5-6 posts they'll add some type of "hate" content to their post. Often this is subtle... could even be a single word or comment they make. They rotate thematically but without failure one of these themes pop up:
--injecting anti-Semitic, racism, or homophobic rhetoric into a classic conspiracy theory or belief. --injecting subtle calls for violence in dicussions related to abusive or corrupt institutions (like the FBI, DOJ, WEF, DNC, IRS etc., etc.,).
This kind of rhetoric is a wet dream for the corrupt bureaucrats and politicians who want to shut down free speech sites, and have been making public statements about the danger of online communities that foster "dangerous rhetoric".
The third objective is to shift sentiment amongst anons. If a few people get caught up in that rhetoric and become useful idiots... then even better (from their perspective).
I've also noticed some of these accounts pushing anti-trump posts, in a highly suspect manner. Support who you want, but be aware of people here actively trying to manipulate your political sentiment.
