Thanks for the heads-up.
They’ve been here for a long time.
It’s very apparent during election time. And it slows down during the summer..if that tells you anything.
Good Morning, Y’all. How are things in Langley today?
Point them out.
This guide to internet forum disruption appears to be written in a Freshman English class.
These same things are done all the time on every forum. The motivations for it are amusement, stupidity. I can see folks from DU coming here, or vice versus and trying to be an instigator.
I bet that the two weeks running up to an election all kinds of trolls are everywhere.
I especially remember the run up to the nomination of Romney. Trolls, trolls, trolls, on all sides of the issue. Pro-Mormon trolls, anti-Mormon trolls.
Mostly all the upsurge of Mormon religious articles. I think those were written and “defended” by anti Romney types because they were articles exploring the weird bowels of LDS.
But at the end of the day, I think that free speech wins in the end. Romney bless his little heart was run over by Obama. But Romney loss because he kept the ground game a family business. Also he lost his nerve on Benghazi.
About a decade ago, one of my last jobs before retirement was being assigned to an RTCA (Radio Technical Committee for Aeronautics) group tasked with investigating the threat of emerging computer technologies to commercial aircraft systems (every passenger bringing a cellphone, computer, Gameboy, etc., and then using it inflight). The two biggest players on the “team” were Intel (who at the time was pushing UWB - ultra wideband technology), and Boeing.
Dissidents were identified day one, and efforts began to marginalize their inputs. Let’s just say that the Cloward-Piven strategy is alive and well.
They own Fr, why I rarely post any more.
Its East Berlin across America.
Oh yeah. Certain posts are completely deflected into drivel.
Wait - what if that guide is just an attempt to list normal forum activity as subversive activity in order to trip us up into seeing spies behind every post?
Dang.
This article should be pinned to the front page of Free Republic, in bold, bright colors.
I don’t see it as a big deal. After all, it isn’t as if someone is going to come and take you away in mid-sen
These tactics do not work well in an environment where the tactics themselves are well understood. There are more than a few conservative, well-trained, former members of the Intelligence Community who are committed FReepers watching over the site to protect it from outside interference.
The Free Republic mods do a pretty good job on their own.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

I posted the whole thing earlier at the link above. Why did you excerpt this?
