Shit. Theyre killing interesting links and discussion.

Yeah I'm deleting shill posts that are designed to make this website look like a far-right insane asylum to drive everyone else away. If this is a surprise to you then you don't really understand how modern forums work

Bloody hell. Those logs are a trip. The amount of spam and madness is nightmarish. Keep up the good work.

Lol nightmarish is a good word for it. It really is ridiculous the amount there is. And that log is just one specific sub too. Thanks for the words of encouragement

So you finally admit to having a political censorship agenda.

I've been using forums since the BBS days, and have modded and admined a few, and even experimented with my own. The biggest issue in moderation is usually spam and astroturfers, far right astroturfing is a relatively new phenomenon, it seemed to happen right around the election of Donald Trump as politicians needed substance for their Russian Hoax accusations. That fizzled out, obviously, but the trolls and shills of all persuasions are mostly bots now, with programmed emotional responses designed to look like real users, and real people managing groups of these bots (they had this since the beginning of Reddit).

The guy who taught me how to program was a door game programmer.

Yes, that's the same thing. They're both about the quality of discussion
