It isn’t for “trolls”. It is to identify and quash conservative activists who have purpose.

After calling Nancy Pelosi an infected rectal wart on twitter, she’d have to be a moron to miss me.

Slashdot's pretty good at dealing with trolls.

> Jeez, I think I have minimal difficulties finding the Trolls on Free Republic.

Some days I could almost believe that FR's mods encourage (or at least permit) certain trolling behavior, depending on topic.

But then what do I know? :)

They’ll spot me in just one if I actually post here what I am thinking...

Sometimes I think they find me...

This is a simple agreement or conformity algorithm. If the poster disagrees, then they will be labeled a troll.

Troll ID criterion: anyone who disagrees with the ‘Rat fascist line.

Too bad they apparently can’t spot poor grammar.

It’s “FEWER than 10 posts”, not “less than 10 posts”.

Breitbart is a messy site with videos running in side bars, pop ups everywhere etc. My computer often freezes up when I’m there. They need to clean up their act if they want to be taken seriously.

People misunderstand just what is a red line. A red line is aline that indicates a minimum expected and encouraged activity.

...unfairness can cause users to write worse...

Wow. This writer actually had the nerve to accuse others of using poor grammar.

“...which compared anti-social users, or “Future Banned Users” (FBUs), to more cooperative commenters, or “Never Banned Users” (NBUs). Nearly all of the 10,000 FBUs studied commented at a lower perceived standard of literacy and clarity than the average, and this standard only declined until they were banned.”

And...here we were worried about the NSA and Net Neutrality.

I have been banned from both CNN AND ABC just for stating my conservative opinion.
They aren’t looking for trolls, they are looking for anyone who speaks out against the Democrats.

Well, now...if I go & make a comment of my opinion of GW or Ukraine (among others that would expose my back)...

...you could call me “Algorithm”.

Yes, I’ve seen the TROLLS on Free Republic, too ... especially when a select group of trolls rides in to disrupt on an Apple users thread ... LOL ...

BUT ... just in general, I’ve see some others on Free Republic use the moniker of “Troll” against someone simply on the basis of either not liking the poster in the first place or disagreeing with their opinion.

ANTI-TROLLS are also a problem ... :-) ... in those instances.
